It ain't public domain, though. If you're gonna download this illegally, head over to Pirate Bay or some such place and grab a much better copy. This is a blurry, compressed-to-death file.

How great is this film? As soon as I got done watching it, I got a plate of raw ground round to munch on and watched it again! No wonder Jackson eventually won an Oscar. The flow of gore was impecably directed.

any movie where someone takes a potato chip, dips it into someone's brain and then eats it just has to be good, right? This movie is full of gratuitous goop and farcical violence. Peter Jackson must have been doing shrooms or something when he made this thing. All in all, a hoot and a half, to be sure.

When I first started watching it.
I had to get used to this.
But this picture was really funny.
