Not my idea of a zombie film....
|
I recently had a itch for all things zombies. I found that I loved George A. Romero's trilogy and I had a hunch to try other films too. My understanding of "Return of the Living Dead" is that it follows Romero's first film, "Night of the Living Dead." If you're looking for a Romero, you're going to be disappointed with Return of the Living Dead.
Okay, I admit I laughed at some times in this movie. The part where the paramedics came out and tried to explain to a group of people that they were legally dead (blood pressure 0, body temperature is room temperature, and pulse is 0) was hilarious. Other parts were creepy, but the overall atmosphere of the movie is supposed to be funny.
Viewing this movie on the whole, however, is not so great. The zombies were not believable - unlike Romero's zombies, the zombies in this movie are fast moving, fully able to understand the living and able to keep coming even after being shot in the brain. I also liked the satire element of Romero's film, which wasn't present in Return of the Living Dead.
Overall, I think the movie would appeal to someone looking for a comedy about the living dead. I wasn't, and therefore I was not pleased with this film. I give it a three because it's funny, but I didn't like the fact that it had basically zero value attached to it. I think one should stick with Romero if you like Romero's film.
