Small, succulent bites of zombie review.

Return of the Living Dead (1985)
6th March
The film that pioneered the zombie need for “Braaaainnnssss!”
- Zombie Speed: Running, jumping, sumo-wrestling.
- Zombie Catalyst: A poisonous gas.
- Zombie Contagion: Exposure to said gas.
- Zombie IQ: Powerfully smart, apart from when it interferes with the plot
- Protagonists: Four blue-collars and a bunch of teenagers
- Apocalypse Vibe: Minimal and obscured by bad acting
Invincible zombies crack jokes and crank call 911 while biting directly into the blood-gushing skulls of naked teenagers. No doubt it appeals to a certain demographic.
Verdict: Worse than the time my Mum called me “sweetie” in front of Susie Watkins
