More Crap from Brian YuznaSaturday, April 09, 2005
Brian Yuzna is what George Lucas is to the Star Wars prequals. He "almost" pulled off Re-Animator in feel, if only it did not come across like a TV Soap Opera.
He made Society, which I guess was making a social commentary, but without ANY Romero wit, let alone character development, or reason at times.
He made Re-Animator 3, and packed that with layer upon layer of bad acting, and boring script.
I dunno, I realy feel that this guy lacks talent, he's like some 10 year old who's only passion is to drool over b-rate latex effects, which I've got to admit are always interesting, and once and a while actually good like Evil Dead good, but the story and characters always suck.
This movie happens to feature the army who now wants to enhance the zombies, and give them ex-skelotons and the like, and make them into un-stopable war machines. Anyhow, the boy's father works for the army, and he steals his dad's security pass, and sneaks himself and his immature confused goth/pop girly friend, and stumbles upon an experiment with the living dead, eventually he runs away from daddy, wrecks into a pole, kills his chick, revives, her, she becomes sadistic, they go on and adventure in south centeral and battle cheesey 80's stereo typical latino gang members who as usually hang out at 7/11, drinking slurpyies, and playing pac-man whith there whores. And so the movie goes on. The only thing I like about this film is some of the effects, as b-gore is always great, unless ruined by horrible plot, casting, and acting, which is the case here no doubt!
The bumb is awsome too, infact he is one of the coolest characters to ever grace the horror movie screens!
If you don't know by now, 4 and 5 are on there way, and they are going to suck! Tobe Hooper was trying to direct them, but instead they hand the crap over to the guy who directed 8 Legged Freaks. I guess they assume that the masses want it to suck like 2 and 3, rather than amaze as part 1 did!?!?
THIS FRANCHISE IS DEAD! Though fun if you got a blunt and nothing better to do. Just for the gore.

She's to die for.Friday, January 21, 2005
This unique sequel finds two teenage-lovers Curt and Julie looking for a thrill, and they find it in a secret Government research lab where Curt's Dad works. There, they learn the chilling factor that the dead can remain living with the help of a chemical called '2-4-5 Trioxin.' Curt horrified, Julie amazed, both flee to Curts house to chill out. When Curts' father returns home they both get in an argument that causes Curt and Julie to escape on Curts' motorcycle. Unfortunately for Julie, there is a motorcycle accident and Julie is killed. Curt, afraid to live without her, revives her with the chemical Trioxin. But Julie isn't the same as she use to be, she feels different and very, very hungry. In a murderous accident Julie soon learns that only the taste of brains will norish her. Curt disgusted at what he sees begins to regret his actions. But then Julie learns that the pain helps, pain makes the hunger go away. With a Mexican gang on thier tails, the teenagers escape and find a new friend called 'River-Man.' As Julies' urges for brains grow stronger, she goes to drastic measures and does some serious decorating on her own body using metal, glass, chains and more to create enough pain to sustain her.
With her urges growing stronger to attack Curt, Julie must under-go a painful transformation, if she ever hopes to leave Curts' brains in his head where they belong.
I really enjoyed this movie, I found it as good as the first and way better then the horrible Part 2. The plot-line had a good speed, it didn't drag nor rush into things. The acting by Curt and Julie is fantastic and 'The new Julie' looks very cool and gross. If you're a gore hound then I highly recommend this movie. If you want more gore, there is an uncut version located on the UK Amazon site, hyperlink at the bottom of the page. The uncut version is well worth buying, but I recommend you make sure your DVD player is multi-region first.

Good additionThursday, December 30, 2004
This movie was as good as the first and better than the second. The lead female role helped make the movie. It is a bit different than the first two but not in a bad way. It just makes it it's own movie. It's a movie you will either love or hate. I love it.

Where the hell are Frank and Freddy???Thursday, October 21, 2004
This movie just plain blows. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Yuck...don't waste your time. Either get the first two Return Of movies, or get the Romero trilogy...don't waste your hard earned dollar on this piece of tripe.

an orginial zombie filmSunday, July 25, 2004
This has got to be the most orginial zombie film ever.No world wide zombies,just a handful of zombies roaming the streets.And one of the most hottest zombie chicks i have ever seen.Also a great "gothic" romance.A living boy still in love with his dead girlfriend.I find that to be really really sweet.
