Sharp direction from O'Bannon, and an absurdly funny screenplay, help this solid piece of silliness score a bullseye. While not especially scary or even unsettling (the split dogs are the closest thing to a shiver moment), this has a cartoonishly energetic spirit all of its own; it's like Karen's jacked up to a 100 performance was the tuning fork that everyone else followed. If nothing else, the rare chance to see Karen in a leading role makes the movie a must-see.

Split dog, the movie lied, you think this is a costume, if you like this job, things are getting out of hand, send more paramedics, Trash, Colonel Glover: a lot of memorable moments and ideas in this undeniably fun bit of eighties silliness.

Luckily for me, this 80's cult classic zombie horror/comedy managed to live up to all the high expectations I had built up for the movie over the years, never actually seeing it. Fortunately, it was love at first sight, as this insanely quotable, campy, punk rock, black comedy was just a delight, and should practically be a must see for genre fans. Maybe my favorite line/exchange in a movie in a while: "It worked in the movie!" "Well, it ain't working now, Frank!" "YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED?"

The Return of the Living Dead scratched my Evil Dead itch pretty solidly. Though neither it's horror or comedy is groundbreaking, the two factors of this film bolster each other higher and end up forming a pretty solid flick.

Under Quarantine Film Reviews #66: A campy 80s zombie flick. Kickstarted a lot of the genre tropes but other than the killer soundtrack, it didn't do much for me.

Night of the Living Dead filtered through the punk rock sensibilities of Repo Man. Great stuff that manages to balance comedy and horror quite well.

It is amazing that Dan O'Bannon's horror comedy (with the emphasis on comedy) has nearly as many iconic scenes and lines as Romero's original. From its campy beginning to the lunacy that follows, ROTLD is an absolute blast.

Braaaaaains. I loved the punks and the setting and just the overall attitude and aesthetic of the film. It's fun and goofy while still maintaining a terrifying atmosphere and feeling that everything is fucked. My favorite part was the way that main zombie out of the tank moved. And its face. The Cramps on the soundtrack helps a lot as well

Opens like someone's twisted take on Abbott and Costello Meet the Living Dead. Pretty damn hilarious at times, pretty damn naked girl on a car at others. Not enough gets said about movies that feature crematoriums, but I can't think of a bad one.

I have more of a respect after seeing this in 2017 considering it does a lot of new stuff with zombies. There has been a nearly nauseating amount of other zombie movies/books/TV Shows/comics that I am burnt out of the super serious zombie stories. For all it's flaws this at least gives the zombies some character. Also the effects are fantastic.
