If you loved The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, try Braindead
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Braindead has roughly 7.7× fewer votes than The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Peter Jackson. If that's the register that drew you to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Braindead is
Wellington, a quaint suburban home, a rabid monkey's bite. A zombie outbreak spreads, Lionel's mother is first, the neighborhood chaos escalates. Jackson's early excess sets the tone.
