Now this flick brings back hazy memories of the lack luster mid-80's and the wonders of the Mom & Pop video stores I loved back then. I always considered this a sorta minor zombie classic and really enjoyed the story and the FX. Good to see a decent DVD release of this. Let's see, it was directed and written by Dan O'Bannon and you get to see a lot of Ms. Quigley's down under during the films running time. She was young and hot here too and those lil' tittys looked mighty fine in '85, even when coated in pasty white make-up. Everybody in this thing does a damn good job pulling off their characters and the mix of comedy and gore is awesome. So many funny gags here, Uneda Medical Supply, Resurrection cemetery, and that wacky ending of nuking off everything. Damn good plan I guess, too bad it rained right after which caused the initial zombie mess in the 1st place. The first 20 minutes are a riot and the rest just gets better. Return finally told us what zombies really want...brains! From the mouth of the corpse, we get the 411 on the pain of being dead and how fresh brains ease the suffering. OK, so at least they have a legit reason for stalking and eating, but can't we all just get along? I think we could just serve up really stupid ass people and keep everyone happy. I felt truly sorry for the helpless twosome that got sprayed with the government chemical that causes the zombie shit. The poor old guy at the end cremating himself was truly sad. Filled with plenty of 80's stereotype and fun, you simply can't go wrong with this flesh-eating frenzy. The sequel lacked this films energy, luckily we can still enjoy this one, even in the new millennium.
