Movie Info

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

It's kind of inept, but it wants to be better than it is, and that's sort of charming.

Audience Reviews for Return of the Living Dead 3

The third outing in this undead franchise is still just about hanging in there in terms of a decent film that will keep you hooked. This film unfortunately has taken the plunge into the deep dark realms of the 'straight to video/DVD' which does give you a bad feeling but fear not as despite the mawkish plot, bad acting and obvious reused sets the second half of the film gets back on track with plenty of zombie action. It is important to note that this is the first film in the series that takes itself seriously and becomes more of an outright horror leaving out the comedy aspect plus it moves away from the first two films and tries to be a stand alone feature, wether that's the right way to go I'm not so sure as the horror comedy was the best part of the original films.

Effects by the wizard Steve Johnson saves this film from the abyss of crapola with some of the best creepy looking undead makeup in the whole franchise, the imagination and gross factor is high as Johnson really gets to create anything he can think of, think of 'Evil Dead: Army of Darkness' and you will get an idea of what the crazy undead hordes look like. In short this film isn't great until the last 30min when everything breaks loose.

A small-scale zombie movie with good gore and makeup effects. There weren't the hoards of zombies, which was disappointing. I liked some of the ideas in this forgettable movie.Tied to the first two movies, the barrels of green gas are being used to bring the dead back to life at a military research facility. Rather than escaping, it is used to revive a hot lady after she is wounded in a motorcycle accident. Isolated gorey scenes follow, with a liquor store robbery, a much-fest in some sewer tunnels, and a final battle at the lab where twisted zombie experiments were being done. Good ending, I'd say. Too bad a part 4 was never made.
