Bastard Son of a Prodigal Son: Interview on The Complete History of The Return of the Living Dead
Ed O'Bannon and John Russo may have intended The Return of the Living Dead as a comedy, but it's just too damn gory, too scary and too good to be dismissed as a zom com.
An amusing, punk variation on the familiar zombie theme.
Equal parts horror and comedy, Return of the Living Dead finds success on both fronts.
Effectively announces itself as a horror movie deliberately pitted against customary cinematic values.
Here's a bit of saucy punk dialogue that sums up the movie. Boy: "Hey Casey, do you like sex with death?" Girl: "Yeah, so **** off and die."
A tongue-in-cheek, splatter-laden homage to George A. Romero's zombie pictures.
A fresh and immensely entertaining take on the zombie genre
It's a shame that the franchise went straight to Campsville, because it had a good start.
The definitive splatterpunk movie. Takes perverse delight in being disgusting. Dan O'Bannon's screenplay hits your funny bone with a meathook and doesn't let go.
Gore, laughs and a kick-*** rocking soundtrack!
