Review: This has got to be one of the all time best zombie movies ever!! I remember watching this when I was a kid and seeing the disclaimer in the beginning about the movie being based on true events and totally freaking out! I love the "tar man," zombie, which was actually played by a live actor. Freddy and Frank are the most hilarious characters in the movie. The split dogs coming back to life was totally sick-especially when I was a kid watching it. The music is awesome in this movie-very original and easy to listen to.
I definately recommend this movie for any horror movie fanatic!

Summary: The Choice Zombie Flick of the 80s!
Review: See horror! See comedy! See rotting corpses run around yelling "Brains!" See Return of the Living Dead in all of its loving glory!
Yes, Return of the Living Dead is the perfect mix of horror, hokeyness, and comedy in one heckuva fun movie. Thanks to the curiosity of two medical supply warehouse employees, the tanks that housed zombies from the "real event" that Romero's Night of the Living Dead was inspired by, are opened and the putrid gas is melted into the ground thanks to rain. And up come the dead! A group of misfit teens, the two employees, and another creepy looking guy who gives on the minute humour are trapped in the morgue / warehouse as the dead want their brains. Return of the Living Dead could have easily been misinterpreted and be thought of as a downright cheesy, useless horror flick. But I - along with many other people - find RotLD to be the definite zombie flick of the eighties. Dan O'Bannon treated us to a great flick. First off, the horror is definitely there. Suspense kicks in just as soon as the zombies rise, and you never know who's going to be next. Comedy is present, and throughout most of the film. And it's never tired. What also made RotLD interesting is, there's no one main character. There may be some more focused on, but there's no complete protagonist. The group of humans is the protagonist, and the zombies are the antagonist. Also, a great scene is with the captured half-zombie chick and her giving the explanation of why the dead do what they do. Creepy. Thanks to MGM for giving the fans a decent dvd release. Most of the supplements feature on the designing of the zombies and such, but they're interesting for die hard fans. The trailer and tv spots are fun to watch, but I warn that the tv spots are quite repetitive. The picture transfer is pretty good, with only a flew glitches and audio is good. With its perfect mix, Night of the Living Dead homages, and fun cast, Return of the Living Dead is the choice for 80s zombie movies.

Summary: It's About Time!...
Review: It's about time this movie was brought to DvD. Return of The Living Dead is one of my favorite zombie movies of all time. I love the punks in this movie and the graveyard scenes! The picture and sound quality are very much improved on the DvD. This has been a hard to find movie on video and any copy I've ever rented had very poor quality. I wish there were more extras like deleted scenes and outtakes but maybe there will be a special edition someday. Us zombie fans can only hope! If you like this movie I'd suggest buying Return of The Living Dead 3. There's less comedy and a whole lot of gore!...

Review: this film is Funny and has some Great looking Zombies in it, especially the "Tar" Zombie! its great to see a movie that was part of your childhood and say, WOW, it looks and sounds Great on DVD! that and its the first of a set of sequels that pay homeage to the big daddy of zombie flicks "Night of the Living Dead".
This film is mostly tongue in cheek but don't let that scare you off!!! It still has enough thrills, and gore to appease the mighty gorehound... This film is a Classick!

Summary: "It worked in the movie!"
Review: Re-animated corpses, swearing, blood & gore, full-frontal female nudity, iconoclastic jabs at American culture, and lots of gallows humor--what more could a horror fan ask for? Any genre fan who has a morbid sense of humor is sure to enjoy 1985's THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. In the same vein as other tongue-in-cheek horror shtick such as the Chiodo Brothers' KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE and Sam Raimi's ARMY OF DARKNESS, this one's specifically a spoof of George Romero's classic and highly revered zombie film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Director/Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, probably best known for having penned the original ALIEN movie, does a fantastic job of lovingly poking fun at the Horror and SF genres while at the same time satirizing everything from the U.S. Military to Punk Rock. This movie is not only funny, it's got plenty o' "brains"! And you can't beat the financial value of the DVD edition. Not only does it cost less than a lot of other full-length, widescreen DVD thrillers--including some that are hardly worth the plastic and aluminum it took to make 'em--but it also includes these cool extras: an optional audio commentary by O'Bannon and production designer William Stout; both the G-rated and R-rated theatrical trailers; over 5-minutes of various TV spots; some storyboard-like production stills; and a really cool "Designing the Dead" featurette, in which O'Bannon and Stout discuss the evolution of the final look and feel of the movie (lots of great shots of Stout's EC-Comics-like designs for the zombies offered in this one).

Review: I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU SIT AROUND ON YOUR [BEHIND] AND READ A LONG STATEMENT BEGGING YOU TO BUY THIS MOVIE OR PROVIDE FACTS THAT DON'T INTEREST YOU WHATSOEVER OR GIVE YOU TOO MANY DETAILS ABOUT THE PLOT, BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST ZOMBIE MOVIES EVER!!!!! IF YOU LIKE SOME FORMS OF SLAPSTICK COMEDY OR WELL TIMED JOKES DIFFUSED INTO YOUR HORROR MOVIES, THIS ONE IS IN A CLASS ALL ON ITS OWN. I'M NOT GOING TO SPOIL YOU WITH THE PLOT, SO YOU CAN JUST READ THE SUMMARY OF THE STORY. BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE.

Summary: MEMORABLE ZOMBIE FLICK
Review: I HAD SEEN THIS ONE YEARS AGO. FOR MANY REASONS IT STANDS OUT. IT'S QUITE DATED IN APPEARANCE AND THE ACTING IS WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT. HOWEVER, IT'S VERY UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE. WHEN I DID SEE THIS MOVIE I REMEMBER LIKING IT..BUT SOME TIME PASTED AND IT GOT LOST AMONGST HUNDREDS OF OTHER ZOMBIE FILMS. WITH IT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KEPT AN EYE OUT FOR IT AND HOPED TO COME ACROSS IT SOMEDAY. WELL I JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED IT ON DVD AND MADE THE PURCHASE. AFTER WATCHING IT I WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MID 80's AND SWEPT UP ONCE AGAIN IN THE CHILLS AND HUMOR. MY FAVORITE SCENE IS WHEN OUR HERO'S PULL THE CHOPPED IN HALF WOMEN THROUGH THE WINDOW. I LOVE HOW SHE EXPLAINS THE PAIN SHE IS SUFFERING AND HOW "HUMAN BRAINS" IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP IT. IN THE END THE MILITARY GUYS NUKE THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE (where i just happen to live) AND THE REAL CHAOS BEGINS. AFTER YOU WATCH THE ORIGINAL SEE "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD II". IT IS CERTAINLY NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ZOMBIE TRUFFLE, BUT ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THE DISASTROUS 3rd FILM. AVOID THAT ONE.
