Review of Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005) by Jason D — 09 Apr 2008
And another franchise bites the dust. Having claimed all sorts of fame and glory from directing the academy award movie Eight-Legged Freaks, Ellory Elkayem tackled the Return franchise by creating this dull and stupid film about the government still trying to work with the deadly trioxin gas, using various people as guinea pigs and it's up to a renegade squad of 30 year old high schoolers who couldn't act their way out of a plastic bag to stop them.
All sorts of zombie action and machine gun tomfoolery ensures and isn't enough to make this film memorable at all. Hated it to know end. Guess what though? Ellory was directing back to back return of the living dead films! Hooray.
Peter Coyote is utterly wasted in this film as the evil uncle, but hey, he lives, so maybe he can cause more trouble in the next one.
