"Essential, enormous fun."-Chris Hewitt, Empire Magazine

"Any film which features a dead, bald and very hungry punk lurching towards the camera screaming 'More Brains!' gets my vote."—Geoff Andrew, Time Out

"A tongue-in-cheek, splatter-laden homage to George A. Romero's zombie pictures."—Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cemetery, those brain-eating zombies are back and hungry for more tasty mortals. A fiendish mix of outrageous humor and heart-stopping terror, The Return of the Living Dead is filled with skin-crawling jolts, eye-popping visuals and relentless surprise! On his first day on the job at an army surplus store, poor Freddy unwittingly releases nerve gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates a corps of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten!
