This is a classic zombie flick, and I urge any genre fans who haven't seen this to get their hands on it soon. The perfect blend of gruesome horror and dark comedy makes Return of the Living Dead a real gem - it's not a total spoof, but it doesn't take itself as seriously as a R...( read more)
Return of the Living Dead is a parody of the George Romero Living Dead films that instead of a depressing, feeling of dread throughout the picture, we get an almost comic book style film with wit.
In Return the film Night of the Living Dead is actually a fictionalized account of...( read more)
Another 'fondly' remembered 80s extravagant b-movie on purpose with hilarious situations and dialogues.
The guys from 'Shaun of the dead' owe a lot to Dan O'Bannon and the good old Tar-man.
I kinda like the humour of it all; so this is not only a zombie movie classic it also has a lot of fun to it.
A great comedy based on Romero's classic Night Of The Living Dead. I loved the overly campy performances and extravagant costuming. The effects were amazing, some of the best of its time. The music fit in perfectly with the style they were going for and made everything a lot more...( read more)
This was one of the first films that used the Zombie genre format to transcend just the mainstream typical horror and bridge the gap with a new brand of Zombie Comedy / Horror. This movie is a pseudo-sequel to George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", a typical difference betwe...( read more)

Finally a zombie movie that explains how they rose from the dead. Clearly the best zombie flick of all-time.
sry but i havent the slightest clue whats supposed to be so funny in this thing. this is 1 of 2 of the lamest zombie movies ive ever seen. i plan on disposing of it right back to the thrift store where i got it (maybe not the same store). the xtreme language/nudity bothers me & "split dogs" & the 1st yellow??! zombie who took a real hard time destroying just plain weirds me out. i didnt even know this movie was supposed to be funny till i read the description on here. (maybe thats why i never found it funny) on the cover it claims to have major gore: the only major gore i saw was that super-gorey zombie in the basement. despite the language, id rather own shaun of the dead over this. it actualy made me laugh-but maybe only cuz i was aware it was a "romantic comedy".
