Return of the Living Dead

Written and directed by Dan O'Bannon.
Starring.....Clu Culager...and other people.



Based on the idea that the original "Night of the Living Dead" was true and that the government covered it up, this amazingly fun and horific film really brings the horror of the undead to a new level with the idea that they CANNOT BE KILLED. This is a new concept in the world of the undead, not to mention the creation of the idea that zombies crave brains. We cannot forget the 'tarman', which terrified many o'children of the 80's.
This was also one of the first horror films that recognized that music played an intrugal part in the films success. The songs on the soundtrack helped to further the films reputatition.

unfortunatly, the follow up, PART 2, treats everything established in this film as poopycock.



Seriously, I consider the "Return of the Living Dead" series unsurvivable.

You cannot defeat this breed of zombie.
You just can't.



oh yeah, did i mention that everyone dies.
i love happy endings.
