Review of Return of the Living Dead III (1993) by Craig L — 02 Aug 2009
I remember being impressed by this film as a youth, so the first half or so made me cringe. ROTLD3 is low-budget in a bad way, a way that entails alarms at a giant military base being answered by TWO guards (because that's all the actors they could afford).
Plus the creatures look like the monster mannequins they use at county-fair spookshows and are inexplicably shot in the most flaw-revealing floodlights possible. But it gets better about midway through, once the setting changes and the focus is on Kurt & Julia.
Then this becomes Romeo and Juliet with Zombies and, helped by (some of) the actors, strikes enough of a chord that the denouement is kind of emotional. Worth watching if you are a forgiving viewer and can quash thoughts like, "It was not a really great idea to put a simple on-off switch on the backs of your flesh-eating zombie prisoners.
".
