Summary: 1 and 2 were great, 3 is a letdown
Review: If you like these kind of movies like I do then you probably have bad taste (peter jackson is a genius)as it is, but if you like this 3rd installment then you have Michael Bolton bad taste. NOTD3 had nothing that made the first two so good. There were no mass of zombies taking over a town, no zombies spouting off funny one liners and worst of all, how could they not bring back Frank and Freddie after making them the stars of the first two. The other reviews talk about what made 3 so much better than 2 is that the plot was so different from the 1st and I say that is exactly what makes this film so bad. The only way you will like this film more is if you got a necro thing going on.

Summary: She's To Die For
Review: This was a pretty fun movie. If you liked the first two, then you'll probably like this one. The movie starts off with a group of military scientist types experimenting with the toxic gas that reanimates the dead. Their goal is to create a new bio-weapon. The experiment is witnessed by the son of the general in charge of the project, and the sons' girlfriend. The experiment goes badly, and the general is informed that he is being transfered, but the son takes this news badly and decides to run off with his girlfriend. There's an accident, and the girlfriend dies. The son, whose name is Curt, decides to reanimate his recently deceased girlfriend and this begins the nightmare. He does this sucessfully, and they manage to escape the military facility. Some people get killed, brains get eaten, and more zombies are created, all while the military is trying to contain the situation. Curts' girlfriend, Julie, tries to hang on to her humanity, but it is a losing battle, as the hunger grows. There is some gore in this movie, but it didn't seem over the top. The scenes where Julie is piercing her skin with various metal objects because it pain distracts her from the hunger made me wince. The funniest part was when Curt and Julie run afoul of a small gang, and Julie ends up biting one of the gang members. The gang member proceeds to get sick, and the others think he has rabies or something and decide to track down the couple to exact revenge. They do find the couple, but get more than they bargined for as Julie's hunger grows. Not the best zombie movie I've seen, but definately not the worst. The first one in this series is still my favorite.

Summary: BRIAN YUZNA'S BEST!!!!!
Review: Return of the Living Dead 3 is fantastic. I am a hardcore living dead fan and this is an exciting, excellent entry into the living Dead series. If compared to say Day Of the Dead, then in gore factor it may not satisfy everyone, but the brilliant acting of the wonderful Mindy Clarke and J.Trevor Edmond and the wonderful direction of Brian Yuzna make up for it. Return is excellent, a real gem. The acting is fantastic, the location of the film is interesting. Mindy Clarke like always does a top notch job and really plays the role superbly and believeably. I can't put into words how wonderful and special she is. She really is one of the best actress' around. And J.Trevor Edmond is soooo good as Curt. Well done to Brian Yuzna for making one of the best movies for me of all time.
The extra features I adore which are the 2 commentarie tracks- one by Brian Yuzna which is interesting and informative. The second I love which is by Mindy Clarke and the special effects supervisor Tom Raione is funny and interesting. I Love this film. This is a definite must for any horror fan.
This isn't a dumb senseless horror film, it is a modern Romero and Juliet in hell which the first time I saw this film I was soooooooo blown away by this film. I highly recommend this film and a definite must have on DVD.

Summary: Re-animator meets Romeo and Julie.
Review: While part 2 brought back a lot of the great comedy elements from the original, this one hardly has anything in common with any of the earlier entries.
The army is experimenting with the zombie gas and when a teenager looses his girlfriend in a motorbike accident he stupidly decides to use the toxic gas to bring her back again. Not smart...
She slowly turns into a starving zombie and chews up everyone in sight except her boyfriend.First of all, Julie seem very human after been exposed to the gas while the other pepole who were infected by the gas or bitten imediatly became rabid zombies. And if this is brain-eating zombies, then why are pepole beign bitten so often in necks and limbs? The zombies in the barrels looks awful and dosen't remind very mutch of Tarman from part 1 or 2 at all. Brian Yuzna tried to create a zombie version of Romeo and Julie with this grose and disturbing mess.
It seems like they were trying to top Linnea Quigley's performance from the first film and this was the best they could come up with. You can't top Linnea Quigley's performance. If you loved the Re-animator movies, this is perhaps something for you. But if you're a true fan of the original, then skip this [stuff].

Summary: Good but cheesy.
Review: This movie starts well, but it gets cheesy toward the mid-end of it. I find this movie to be scary and gory as it should be. I own George Romero's collection movies and I still find them more serious and realistic than this one. Overall: GOOD. (actually more like 3-1/2 stars).

Summary: Good but not as expected
Review: Extremely unlike the first two, the only connection being the 2-4-5 Trioxin gas. It has NO comedic tones in the film (although in this R-Rated cut, it is rather humourus to see all the reaction shots to nothing) and no carry overs.
It's not a bad film, but just not what I expected at all. Good extras too.

Summary: Return Of The Living Dead 3
Review: Well I was very dissapointed to find a major misprint on the Dvd that it listed the running time of 97 minutes yet it is the one minute shorter R-rated version of the film. However MGM now owns all rights to ROTLD,and yes there is rumor of another Return but not a part 4 so to speak but a prequel. Part 3 had it's moments, as I sit and write this review I am looking at the movie poster with a heavily pierced Mindy Clarke Staring at me, The Moments it did have were far and few between. This is in my opinion not a worthy sequel to the series do to the ill-fated Romeo And Juliet back Story, Sorry but Zombies and Romance hardly go Hand in Hand. I waited 5 years for this sequel and even drove to Philadelphia to see it on the Big Screen. Yes it was better than Part 2 as far as it abandoned the over the top camp that was a very special Part of Part 2, but had trouble sticking to the mythology of Dan O' Bannons Original. It is a good edition to any Dvd collection but will not sit well with True "Return Fans".
The Special features are not that good, it only contains the Video Release trailer, and other trailers of horrible Trimark movies clutter what could have been behind the scenes features, and the commentary is just blabber. However an interesting note is that the budget was only 1 million dollars for set design and you can see they did spend it they best they could, but it did have a 3 million budget they could have spent a little more. The DP did a very good job with the lighting of the film, it comes across very crisp and clean, The audio track is Dolby Surround and the Score in the film was very good, However the Poor romance story in the film needed to be cut and the producers should have stuck with the original formula which made the Return series a cult fave.

Summary: What Happened here?
Review: I have to say that this was a real disappointment. I am a big fan of the first two films, but after viweing this one, it seemed as if the creative team was running short on ideas. THe heroine of the story is infected, and eventually dies...ok, thats acceptable. Then she comes back to save to save her boyfriend...hmmmm...However the worst part of the film is when she returns, she has for some reason decided to adorn herself with bits of glass and metal that she stuck in herself. This film loses momentum minute by minute. A terrible conclusion to a fine series. ONe can only hope that a fourth installment is released to save this series!

Summary: Excellent addition to the ROTLD series!
Review: This was always one of my favorite horror movies. I mean you have zombies, a hot chick, extreme gore, piercing, and love story. What more could you ask for? No but seriously, this is a great addition to the ROTLD series of movies. I have read reviews where people were mad because the storyline didn't follow the same form as the first two movies. Yes it does deviate from the storyline of the first two movies, but it is done in a really good fashion. The acting in this movie is really good and so are the special effects. Not to mention that Mindy Clark is one of the hottest women alive. This is a really good movie for a product of the 90's. I think that is when movies started to take a downhill slide. New horror is just plain bad. Producers need to go back to their old format ie. 80's horror.
