The Return of the Living Dead Reviews

external linkNot quite enough gore but jokes galore and I would've liked more zombie mayhem but what's on hand manages to please with a kick-ass 'Tar-Man' zombie, a good 'police barracade' assault, a funny 'send more paramedics' moment, a great soundtrack and a ending that's pretty good. ... Not the greatest horror/comedy out there but fun viewing and certainly better than its follow-ups. [read review] 2.5/4

external linkThis is my favorite horror film of all time! It contains zombies, punks, and gory humor.The zombies are great--they run, scream, and eat your brains.This one contains more great action and dark humor then half a dozen movies I have seen. Highly recomended! [read review] 5/5
--Colt Gay (ColdSpot)
external linkExcellent semi-sequel to "Night of the Living Dead," with a punk rock score and plenty of comedy. ... Funny, scary, shocking, gory and well-directed, "Return" is a brilliant 1980s horror movie, even better than "Re-Animator" and even (I think) better than "Dawn of the Dead," although it certainly owes its very existence to that movie.

external linkIt is at the one hour mark (I'm estimating) that you'll probably want to turn the movie off. Somehow the movie loses it footing around this point and takes on an uncomfortably serious tone. [read review] 3.5/5
--Michael LaMere (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
external linkIf you love 80s zombie cheese, this is a must see. With the 4th movie being made of the ROTLD series check all 3 out and be ready for the 4th. Nice 80s American zombie cheese that kick ass. [read review] 5/5

external linkAnyway, this movie has a little of everything to offer, at least for fans of horror and if you haven't seen it yet then you have truly missed something. [read review] 9/10

external link..it ruined zombie movies forever. It made them comical, and we didn't have a good zombie movie until 1994 when Cemetary Man came out. [read review] 4.5/5
