Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993)
Member Rating:  
A more straightforward horror film than the darkly comic Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988), this third chapter in the "Living Dead" saga was directed by Brian Yuzna and is quite similar plot-wise to his earlier film, Bride of Re-Animator (1990). J. Trevor Edmond and Mindy Clarke star as Curt Reynolds and Julie Walker, a young couple in love. Curt's father is Col. John Reynolds (Kent McCord), a scientist working on a top-secret project at a nearby military compound. When Curt steals his dad's security pass and sneaks Julie into the base, they discover that the project involves bringing corpses back to life using the powerful gas Trioxin, responsible for events in the previous films. The military hopes to use the mindless, flesh-consuming zombies as weapons, but the experiment goes gruesomely awry. Later, Julie is killed in an accident on Curt's motorcycle and the grief-stricken boyfriend brings her to the base and exposes her to the gas. As she begins craving human flesh, Curt must try to keep her alive while also facing down a local street gang he's unintentionally crossed, as well as the soldiers seeking Julie, led by his father. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    Beats the heck out of Part 2 of this Series and parts 4 and 5 of it/ It is the only one that should go along with the original one/ I liked it/

    The first one is excellent and set the pace for future zombie movies. The second was just a pale carbon copy of the first, and it even has some of the same lines as the first and similar characters from the first movie delivering these lines. This one is a big improvement over the second, with a plot concerning the military hoping to use zombies as weapons. You get to see said zombies being mutated, and that makes them even creepier. And you get to see a young Melinda Clarke (a.k.a. Mindy Clarke) from The O.C. and Spawn as a pivotal character. I'd put this as an easy second in the ROTLD movie series. All the others don't seem to make much of a mark.

    The first ROTLD is a masterpiece (in my genre-loving opinion) and the second one is pretty good too (in a cheesy-slapstick kind of way). This one is horrible, and things just get worse in parts 4 & 5. Rent the first one if you haven't seen it. It's a must see for any horror fan.
