The Return Of The Living Dead (1985) *****
The Return Of The Living Dead (1985) is one of those films that no matter how many times I've seen it, no matter what mood I'm in, and despite any flaws it has, I can't award it anything but a perfect score. It's one of my Top 100 Films, one of my Top 10 Horror Films, and simply one of the most fun movies ever made.
TROLTD is bleak but hilarious, the characters are indelible, the dialogue is endlessly quotable, the effects and gore are over the top, and the horror/punk/death/psychobilly soundtrack rips. It successfully spoofs its genre while also resting (maybe not so peacefully) alongside its contemporaries, a true cult classic that never goes out of style—etched into my braaain(s) for life.
