    Teen army brat Curt (J. Trevor Edmond) is so in love with wild, sexy punkette Julie (Mindy Clarke) that he decides not to let her untimely death in a motorcylce accident keep them apart. Thankfully his father (Kent McCord) works at a top-secret military lab experimenting on bring...( read more)ing the dead back to life. Curt sneaks in and uses the "Trioxin" gas to revive Julie, then spends the rest of the movie watching helplessly in horror at her mental and physical deterioration and increasing hunger for human flesh!

    Having very little to do with the two previous comic RETURN titles helps Part III overcome familiarity, while director Brian Yuzna delivers loads of brain-munching horror without losing sight of the compelling, tragic central romance. Excellent FX work by Steve Johnson and many others, including Julie's amazing transformation from whimpering ghoul to multi-pierced, S&M femme fatale zombie queen.

    This film was released in R and unrated versions. Shoot for the latter

    A really great storyline reminiscent of Wes Craven's "Deadly Friend" and "Reanimator" in that what is dead should stay dead.

    I can't believe this has ROTLD in the title. This movie was a total let down for me. I was expecting some more 80s style of cheese, but not a chance. Unlike the previous two this one focused on just one person who turned into a zombie and was trying to fight the urges of flesheat...( read more)ing by inflicting self injury to forget about the hunger. I'm only giving this 2 1/2 stars because the zombies did look cheesy which I liked.

    A true 90s splatter film. I like a lot of the themes depicted here. While it certainly isn't for everyone, I do think it's worth checking out.

    This is one truly repellent movie, so repellent in fact that I couldn't finish it. Not only is it trash, it is sick trash that explores very distrubing territory. This is all the more unepexcted as the original "Return of the Living Dead", while admittedly gory, was the first zom...( read more) com that I am aware of, and (in my memory at least) an extremely funny film.

    Here, the zombie premise is just a pretext for depicting a goth chick's slow descent into more and more atrocious forms of self-mutilation, which are shown in slow, sadistic close-ups (at least in the "uncut" version which I made the mistake of watching.) Obviously, the directors and SFX crew were inspired by the new breed of horror launched by Clive Barker's "Hellraiser", and didn't care much for the humour of the original.

    The characters are the type that made their appearance in the movies when zombies first started manifesting their taste for human flesh (meals on legs, you might call them) and the filmmaking is so amateurish that within the first twenty minutes, I had already seen the microphone twice and the rather persistent and moving shadow of a crew member on one of the actors.

    I don't want to say much more about this film as my head is still reeling with its disgusting depictions of body piercing and slashing. The only value that I got from it is a corroboration of my thesis that zombie films are a metaphor for the spread of cultural and moral corruption in our society: it begins with a father considering a punk chick a bad influence on his son, and then the punk chick gets zombified, and one scientist explains: "If she attacks him, he becomes like her."

    Don't let yourself get bitten by this nasty one. As for me, I'm returning to more wholesome fare.
