Brains...

"The Return of the Living Dead" is an entertaining movie even though it is a bit old. But it is one of the more important of movies in the zombie genre, and it did of course introduce Trioxin and the tar zombie to us zombie aficionados.

It has a good story which is entertaining from beginning to end, and it is nicely paced. Sure, it is a predictable story to be fair, but it still delivered entertainment where it mattered.

The characters in "The Return of the Living Dead" were colorful and memorable. And even with years passing between watching the movie you will still remember these characters. And what is not to enjoy with a cast ensemble that includes Clu Gulager, James Karen, Don Calfa, Thom Mathews and Miguel A. Núñez Jr.?

The effects were quite good for its age, and still do hold their ground by todays standards. "The Return of the Living Dead" introduced zombies groaning "brains..." which is a detail that you will come to find amusing.

"The Return of the Living Dead" is a movie that rightfully belongs in the movie collection of any zombie aficionado.
