RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 ( 1993 )
A sequel in name mostly – but a worthy entry into the zombie movie hall of fame. It’s one of those little straight-to-video gems that garners a sizeable cult following. When an army brat wrecks his Harley accidentally killing his girlfriend, his only recourse is to raise her Pet Sematary style with the reanimating agent secretly housed at the army base where his pop runs the show. What he ends up with is a living dead girl with a penchant for severe S&M accessorizing – the hottest thing since Linnea Quigley’s graveyard dance. Screaming Mad George’s gore alternates between being wincingly convincing and ridiculously silly. It’s a creative direction for the zombie genre and an entertaining and sometimes unnerving late-night experience. Bonus points for nudity, a latino zombie gang and some good lookin’ zombies.
