Leave your thoughts about The Return of the Living Dead.
| House Next DoorSimon AbramsThe Return of the Living Dead is in fact the real deal. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.For pure eighties, punk rock, walking dead, brain eating mayhem, this is the film to watch. |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydEd O'Bannon and John Russo may have intended The Return of the Living Dead as a comedy, but it's just too damn gory, too scary and too good to be dismissed as a zom com. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeThis isn't a sequel - it's a reinventing of how zombies had been seen on the screen |
| The Blu SpotJeff BeckDan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is a classic of the zombie genre that delivers a good laugh with its silly, over-the-top nature, while also giving you several thrills along the way. |
| Film ThreatPete Vonder HaarA fresh and immensely entertaining take on the zombie genre |
| Slant MagazineJeremiah KippSuffice to say, this small offering from the horror genre is a hoot to watch, with never a dull moment. |
| ESplatterSteve BiodrowskiAn amusing, punk variation on the familiar zombie theme. |
| Under the RadarAustin Trunick[Return of the Living Dead] stood the test of time because it blended real scares and a few honest-to-goodness, heart-wrenching moments in with its humor. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyAny film which features a dead, bald and very hungry punk lurching towards the camera screaming 'More Brains!' gets my vote. |
