Return Of The Living Dead 2 (DVD)

A few years after the Return Of The Living Dead was released it's first sequel was on the way. The main different between Part 1 and Part 2 is that Part 1 combined serious horror with humour. Part 2 on the other hand focuses more on comedy. The Plot. The story starts by showing us the army transporting some toxic waste barrels late at night. As the truck passes through a small town, some barrels accidentally fall off the back of the truck, and roll ...
...which is conveniently located next door to a cemetery. Later the neighbourhood bullies find the barrel and unwittingly release the safety catch and the poisonous Trioxin 2-4-5 infects them. The Trioxin also drifts to the nearby graveyard. Yes you've guessed it, the corpses start to raise, and that all to familiar cry of BRAINS! Is heard. Our heroes, young Jesse, his sister Lucy and a cable installer Tom, find themselves in deep trouble when the army ...

Review of Return Of The Living Dead 2 (DVD)

...I remember them. Return of the Living Dead part 2 (1987) This is a very disappointing sequel. The acting is more hammy, the jokes are too obvious, the special effects are too cheesy, the characters more clichéd and they have committed what’s normally a cardinal sin of horror; the introduction of children as central characters. A feat pulled off by very few, The Shining and The Lost Boys spring to mind. But they had the resources of good actors, ...
...and Freddy from the original) return as Ed and Joey; the grave robbers. They start well but soon succumb to a lot of overacting (Lots of “wooahh , it hurts!” and the like). It seems they’ve done it all before and realise that this time it’s just a bit pants. Michael Kenworthy is Jesse, who gave a decent performance in The Blob (1988), but here is just another annoying kid. Suzanne Snyder (Weird Science 1985, Retribution 1988) is the grave robbers ...

Review of Return Of The Living Dead 2 (DVD)

This is another one of those dead brought back to life now they want to eat your brains kind of films. An army vehicle drops a barrel of something somewhere. Some young lads stumble across it and force it open. this sends a cloud of gas across the local cemetary (which just happens to be being looted at the time). So The dead come alive and walk around incredibly slowly in an attempt to each peoples brains. Why they would want to eat brains I don't ...
...the boys that discovered the barrel. He and his sister, and the cable guy, meet up with the 3 that were looting the cemetary and try to get away from the zombies. This is not a good film. The story has been done time and time before, the effects are pretty standard, and it contains no stars, unless yuo count Dana Ashbrook, he was in Twin Peaks! Watch this film if you like tacky horror. You won't be scared, but it might give you a laugh! ...

...One of my favourites is Return of the Living Dead Part 2. Basically its a zombie film. The army accidently drop a barrel contains the zombie gas, and it rolls into a sewer. A couple of local bullies discover the barrel, crack it open, which has diasterious results. The gas drifts over the local cemetary, and it happens to rain as well, which washes the gas into the ground. The gas has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and the cemetary ...
...have been evacuated, except for the people living on a new estate, which has been forgotten about. These people become the victims, and at the end there are only a few people left to try and fight the living dead. This film is a comedy film, its not serious, there are some really funny scenes in it, this is a great watchable film, thats quite enjoyable. Not something I'd normally watch, but yes a great film. ...

Review of Return Of The Living Dead 2 (DVD)

The story line tends to never really matter. All these films tend to be the same. There seems to be a prize in these sorts of films for who can create the best monster ungly creature for the good guy to fight against. This film is no exception. One man fights against the forces of evil and even has to resort to removing his hand as it becomes "evil" and replacing it with a chainsaw. This film is really only for people who love this stuff, George ...
