CA Readers: Experience The Bloody Insanity Of Peter Jackson’s ‘Dead Alive’ In Theaters This FRIDAY!
Bloody Disgusting is proud to present a special theatrical screening of Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive this coming Friday night (movie starts at 11:55PM) at the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles (11272 Santa Monica Blvd.) The showing will be of an actual print of the New Zealand zombie flick that’s widely considered the goriest of all-time, and is often listed along such classics as Night of the Living Dead and Zombi 2 as one of the greatest zombie flicks ever.
In Jackson’s 1992 classic, “a young man’s mother is bitten by a “rat monkey.” She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.”
Tickets are still available here. Come join us for some bloody chaos! 
Galder Gaztelu-Irrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, becoming one of the most watched original movies in the streaming service’s history.
Coming soon? The Platform 2! Netflix has shared two first look images from the upcoming sequel this morning, which will again be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in The Platform 2.
Netflix previews, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
No word yet on a Netflix premiere date for The Platform 2. Stay tuned.
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.
