Return of the living dead part 3

Brian Yuzna

1994

I'm a huge fan of this series as I love almost every zombie film I've ever seen,the first was a classic,the second while having some large flaws was still a laugh although the ending's s a pure cop-out, and the third continues the tradition well although its still far weaker than the first film.

Medical experiments are being carried out on the living dead with the aim of using them in warfare as an unstopable army, the military's big mistake is thinking they can control the living dead guinea pigs.The son of one of the army's top brass smuggles himself and his girlfriend into the top secret military base and witness the scientists bringing the dead back to life using deadly gas. This knowledge comes in handy very quickly as his girlfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident on the way home( what a coincidence eh) and so he brings her back to life in the same way.Great news, it works and she comes back to life, unfortunately she slowly starts turning into a flesh eating nutter. Good in places with some great gore fx it doesn't let the series down although I prefer the larger scale of the first movie where the whole earth was being over run by the zombies and the fantastic ending where the zombies win.Amust see for zombie film fans.

Gore Highlights

The best bit has to be when the guy has his whole chin bitten off (very nippy)

The usual brain eatings .

Some nasty medical experiments with the zombies .
