Review of The Return of the Living Dead (1985) by The Critic ( — 20 Apr 2013
"Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!" warns medical supply warehouse worker Frank (James Karen) in this very tongue-in-cheek zombie romp.
Excellent special effects help deliver some genuine scares here with a superior young Thom Matthews in the centre of the action and showcasing some wonderful range for this sort of fare, though a number of his co-stars overact to a laughable extent.
Lots of fun from beginning to end, some of the cast continued to reappear in horror films throughout their careers, contributing to the 'Friday the 13th', 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Leprechaun' franchises.
