Bereamic Awesome Movie

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Realrockerhalloween Return of the living dead finally grows a pair to investigate the source that caused the zombie risings in the first two films the military.The set seems fake for a high classified substance to dangerous to let loose and the security lacks if two teenagers can sneak in without setting off alarms.What I appreciate from this installment is incorporating a Romeo and Juliett subplot into the script allowing it a chance for substance and character development. Kurt standing up to his father, running away and doing anything for his last fair no matter how grotesque she becomes. A father who will search heaven and the bowels of hell for his only child was touching. The special effects were actually amazing for low budget, probably accounts for the poor scenes, as Julie mutilated her body becoming a dominatrix of terror and the poor victims being ingested by our favorite juggernauts. Followed by synthetic music you could find on any lifetime movie.The ending was anticlimactic for one thing they didn't have a big brawl between the undead and the living it was leading up to. The young couple predictability ended up dying instead of living apart and the military set never reached it's full potential. Other then that it was an enjoying thrill ride.

Paul Magne Haakonsen While this is officially the third movie in the "Return of the Living Dead" line, then it feels nothing like the previous two. Brian Yuzna veered so far off course with his direction and personal touch that it stopped being a "Return of the Living Dead" movie and just turned into another typical Yuzna-produced monster movie.That being said, don't get me wrong, because it is still en enjoyable movie in its own right. Just don't expect a "Return of the Living Dead" movie as per se.The special effects were good, as you would expect from your average Yuzna movie, and there were some really great zombies to be seen in this movie, just a shame that they were only there for the last 10 minutes of the movie.Melinda Clarke really carried the movie quite well and almost singlehandedly. And her transformation into that undead creature was nice, however Yuzna managed to sleaze up the movie unnecessarily with the nudity throughout the movie.Surely an entertaining movie for what it was. I just don't consider it to be in the spirit of the "Return of the Living Dead" franchise. And it is not a movie that is a must own for a zombie aficionado.

Boba_Fett1138 Being not the biggest fan of the Return of the Living Dead-series, I of course did not have high hopes for this one. But as it turned out, this movie was not all that bad. Its change of settings and approach to the concept work refreshing and more entertaining than was the case in the first two movies but at the same time it still doesn't succeed in becoming a good movie as well.I honestly quite liked the movie for its first part. It was silly but it was entertaining nonetheless. Contrary to the first sequel, this movie wasn't just a simple rehash of the first "The Return of the Living Dead" movie, that has now become a sort of a cult-classic. This movie is actually having some new ideas in it, which is the foremost reason why I still rank it a bit higher than the first sequel "Return of the Living Dead Part II".But no, as it turns out in the end, this movie is also only just half good itself. And quite literally really. I often have this problem with Brian Yuzna movies. It's as if he's saying half way through; well, I gave you a good first half. I gave you a story, I gave you characters. Now it's time to let things go crazy and let me do my own thing! It's as if the movie is giving up half way through, or as if they ran out of its script and ideas to work with. The last 30 minutes or so of the movie are just too silly and seem out of place with the rest of the movie. I honestly would had preferred it if the movie had just ended after 1 hour and the last 30 minutes never existed.I have yet to see a Brian Yuzna that I like completely. He's a director that often comes in to a horror-series after it's already an established name and brand. He did this most notably with the Re-Animator-series.On a more positive note about this movie; I quite liked its effects. It was over-the-top but quite nice and gruesome looking. There maybe is not as enough gore and blood as you would expect but when the movie does go gory, it does it rather well.Not really a movie worth recommending but then again, this is how I feel about every Return of the Living Dead movie made.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

asmushar The good=Mindy Clark is hot! The bad=the rest of the movie! The zombie love story did not work for me at all. Storyline in short: military brat reanimates GF after getting her killed in an motorcycle accident, brats dad is in charge of the trioxin project ( apparently the military is so sharp they have not learned to leave this stuff alone yet!) allowing brat to illicitly gain access to secret facility, GF slowly descends to full zombie status-sort of. And believe it or not its all downhill from here. More annoyingly the director/writer paid little attention to the rotld rules spelled out in the 1st two movies. Unlike the 1st 2 flicks now you can be reanimated if you are bitten whereas the original established that only trioxin gas can reanimate the dead. The film maker seems to be confused with the night of the living dead series. In addition the electrocution angle introduced in pt 2 is forgotten and the living dead are referred to as virtually indestructible? Again, the military officers in this movie are about as sharp as bowling balls. Then there's the pain/hunger contradiction which another reviewer pointed out. Why call it ROTLD 3 if you don't follow the rules of the 1st 2. Tries to go in a different direction + fails. Avoid this if you are a fan of the 1st 2 or a sci-fi fan who has seen the other 2 movies. Add all this to the above mentioned plot(?) and you have one lousy horror flick. F/X were not bad though.
