Rating: Summary: The best horror movie ever Review: I saw this movie when I was 12, that was three years ago, and for all three of those years I searched for this film. Now my prayers have been answered. Hopefully others my age will see this masterpiece. In doing that we can bring a ray of hope into the horror genre, bring back what once was. Anyway, once I get the money I'll reserve it. For all those reading this: BUY THIS MOVIE!! You won't be dissapointed.
Rating: Summary: Finally!! Review: This is a great movie. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Can't wait till they announce Return of the Living Dead 2 for DVD.
Rating: Summary: Most Watched Horror Movie I own Review: I LOVE this horror flick. I remember years ago when I wanted to rent all the zombie movies at a rental store, I chose the Night of the Living Dead Saga. This was the second installmant, and by far, the most enjoyable one. While humorous, it still retains horror elements that are not meant to be corny by any means. It truly is a cult classis, and one of my most watched home videos ever, let alone from the horror genre. Truly straight out of the 80's, this movie is a must, and I think I speak for many when I say I am waiting with great anticipation for the release of this flick on DVD format.
Rating: Summary: [BRAINS!!!] Review: God has answered my prayers and mgm is a great company for producing this great movie,i remember watching this movie when i was 12 years old in 85 with a group of friends at sleepover,the whole night we were all saying [brains],i can't wait to get my hands on this dvd,with the wisescreen and special features ,i will never get bored of this one!one thing they could have done was remaster it in 5.1 surround instead of mono,but hey,can't have it all,buy this dvd,you won't regret it!!
Rating: Summary: For a surprising variety of tastes Review: Of all the shows i remember seeing when i was young, few stand out like this one. It has to be the mood it sets, like the Evil Dead meets the Toxic Avenger, the ultimate tribute to the generally perceived "greatest decade of horror," the 80's. But, as several others are bound to mention, there is an equal part of comedic absurdity in the procedings, which makes the viewing all the more enjoyable to both the stringent enthusiast and the casual observer. It has its gore, but it bears a technique which somewhat mocks the original Night of the Living Dead; it has its grim side, but it relishes in just enough eccentricity in its delivery that we can smirk at the adventure. Even its aspect ratio is one of audience compromise, situated between full screen utilization and the narrow strip of cinescope fulfillment. Above all, a film like this serves the escapist nature in us, and it succeeds like few that i have ever seen. Thank you Amazon, and thank you MGM for releasing this and other deserved classics in a timely fashion.
Rating: Summary: I've been waiting a long time for this DVD! Review: ...I always remember this movie growing up... this was always one of my favorite movies. They just don't make them like that anymore. To the dismay of many people I think!... So people buy this DVD!
Rating: Summary: They're back, and they are ready to party!!! Review: Oh...there is truly a God that exists! How long I have been waiting for this classic movie to be properly re-released on DVD or just for that matter, and now it finally sees the light of day/night! If you don't know the plot by now, then shame on you! I remember watching this wayyy back when it first came out in 1985. I was only 5 years old at the time and it did nothing but scare the crap outta me. Later on whenever I rented it again, it was still scary, but I could see the dark comedy behind it and goofy antics. I must say, these last 5-10 years for all of us "ROTLD" fans have not been kind to us at all...we've had to watch it in the old, run-down, Thorn/HBO version that had seen more play-backs since "Debbie Does Dallas". Yes we've had to suffer by adjusting the tracking on our VCRs, the horrible tinted color, and the very bassy Punk soundtrack, not to mention blown the dust off it one time or more...but now we have it on DVD version. And especially for all of us 20-somthing male fans, now we can watch our favorite scene of Linda Quigley strip to Punk/New Wave music on the tombstone over and over again. On another side note, the special effects are very top-notch. The Zombie make-up is really superb and it ranks up there next to the ultra-grim Zombie makeup from "Day Of the Dead". The soundtrack is timeless. Tunes from The Cramps, The Dammned, and the Flesheaters.This has been my absolute favorite movie for so many years and now I get the chance to own it on DVD...THANK-YOU AMAZON.COM!!! YOUR GUYS RULE!!!
Rating: Summary: Two bloody thumbs up! Review: This is the reason we have tongue-in-cheek horror today...never before have we seen a zombie film like this...MGM was wise to release it under a special edition DVD. We got your basic punks dancing naked and getting high in the local Kentucky graveyard, while next door in a medical building, a gas leaks from two nitwits who opened a cannister of 245 Trioxon, causing a zombie to run amuck. They cremate it, but all good chemicals don't go without...you guess, acid rain! When the rain gets into the graveyard where the punks are partying.....it turns out they're at the right place at the wrong time......
Rating: Summary: ROTLD is Finally back Review: It continues from where "Night of the Living Dead" left off. Frank (James Karen) and Freddy (Thom Matthews) are employees at the Uneeda Medical Supply. They go down to the basement to check out some metal cylinders that have captured zombies in each of them. Accidently Frank hits the side of one and makes some vapor squirt out. It knocks them out and makes the rest of everything dead in the building come back to life. Then when it gets outside to the cemetary. A sudden storm hits the vapor, making it go into the soil and bring all of the dead back to life. And they are still hungry for human brains. One of the best Zombie films ever made.
Rating: Summary: A true horror classic Review: Long before "Scream" made it cool to have a horror movie that took a tongue in cheek approach to its subject matter, there was a wonderful little movie called Return of the Living Dead. This pseudo sequel to Night of the Living Dead takes the usual status quo zombie movie conventions and turns them on ear. The writing is clever, the character's motivations are believable, the soundtrack is top-notch and, when you get right down to it, the situation is even more apocalyptic than anything in Romero's films. I'm very glad to see that this film, which has been out of print for quite a while, is seeing a DVD release. It is unfortunate that (from the looks of it) MGM is doing a bare bones release of the film. Extras would have been very nice. But this is a classic example of 80's horror that no one should be without.
