Review of The Return of the Living Dead (1985) by Daniel S — 16 Oct 2010
Great movie! Here is an interesting zombie flick brought forth by Dan O'Bannon. The beginning sequence of the movie is simply superb, and gotta love that bell chime and synthesizer that rolls with the opening credit.
The overall story plot reflects a group of teens wanting to find a place to hang out and have some fun, so they choose a nearby graveyard while waiting for their friend to get off work. While their friend Freddy is dealing with his own problems at work, they start to notice that things are starting to happen in the graveyard with the 'dead' returning from their graves.
The overall movie depicts the groups' efforts in staying alive, with a bit of humor to boot. The group of friends are an interesting sort, and it is topped off with Miguel A. Nunez Jr.'s character "Spider".
Great zombie effects and characterization. Good music. Absolutely love The Cramp's 'Surfin Dead.' Definitely worthy! This is definitely the best of all the 'Living Dead' collection.
