Good features and film. rated? umm...?

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013

This movie is probably the best 1990s B movie/low budget horror movie made in its time. Today it still holds its own as a stand alone film. It dosent matter if you havent seen the other 2. The other 2 films were horror comedies with some gore. This one however is strictly true horror. It deals with the questions of what would happen to your mind if you became a zombie. Its best to call these zombies government mutant bio weapons. One thing the film does is introduce the military exoskeleton sytem, which the military uses today. It also makes you think about what type of experiments the government is doing and how far they can push the boundaries before its considered too much. The film has love, passion, lust, depravity, decay, paranoiya, sickening gore, and spine chilling practicle effects. No CGI was used in this film. Probably the last horror movie that had only practicle effects.

The reason I negated a star was for the fact that the movie was rated R and the unrated original release is still only on VHS. So if you have the VHS i would recommend that you hang onto it. The R rated version only cuts out some of the more political inncorect gore, and some of the more bloody and piercing scenes. No dialogue is missing as far as i know.

About the cast:
Mindy Clarke- she could have easily been a playboy centerfold for the 90s. Her acting is top notch and she sells the whole idea of the horror of being dead and brought back to please her boyfriend. some guys are Guilty of forcing their ideas on their girlfriends and the girls usually goes along. thats what her acting potrays very effectivly.
J.Trevor Edmond- he portays the consequence of forcing your girlfriend into doing something your girlfriends dont want to do but do it anyway to please the boyfriend. His acting is pretty good and he sells the feeling of what its like to lose someone you love and dont want to let go but have to.
Basil Wallace- now this guys acting is far better than any i have ever seen in horror films. He plays a poor homeless "riverman" that only wants to help people out and do good in life but is cought up in the horror of governmental weaponization subdermal mechanical bio human control and is being forced to do things that in his mind would be horror. Its like hes waking up to his worst nightmare and he totally sells it in his eyes. I mean what other actor can sell all those emotions with only their eyes.

Hats off to the director and makeup effects artists as all story line and effects are top notch for a B movie. Hech the effects are good on an A list horror movie with monster budgets. This film is in my opinion the last great horror movie of the 90s. and because it still holds up alone today i would say its a classice B movie that should be ranked up there with dawn of the dead and the evil dead. I hope to see a fully restored unrated remastered bluray version of this film. I hope you found this review helpful and i would very highly recomend this movie to people that have paranoiya about government zombie experiments and zombie love story. Enjoy and remember "shes to die for"

A divergence from the previous films

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

The Return of the Living Dead is a classic both for its reinvention of the zombie genre and because it's just an over the top good time. The second in the franchise delivers pretty much exactly what the first one did without breaking a lot of new ground. This third installment, though, manages to reinvent the franchise in some new and interesting ways.

While the first two films are all about zany zombie violence, this film manages to provide a deeper and more introspective look at what it means to become a zombie while still retaining much of one's own mind. In that regard, it was well ahead of its time and arguably even more frightening than its predecessors. However, I think a lot of people were expecting the third installment to follow the same pattern as the first two, and so may have been somewhat disappointed by this one.

Admittedly, some of its deep and artful content is undercut by its over the top visuals, but that somehow doesn't seem to lesson the quality of the film as a whole. It's definitely a divergence for the Living Dead franchise, but I don't think that's a bad thing, and I still highly recommend it.

A terrific blu-ray release of a 90's horror classic.

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Lionsgate finally gives the 1993 horror cult classic "Return of the Living Dead 3" the red carpet treatment for its long overdue blu-ray release under their lauded Vestron Video Collector's Series label. Even better the version contained on this disc is the unrated director's cut and not the heavily censored R rated version which had been released years ago on DVD.

The film is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio and looks pretty good overall. While a massive improvement over the ancient DVD release, the blu-ray transfer looks a bit soft in places but overall sports nice detail and strong colors. The bit rate is healthy staying in the upper 20's so no compression artifacts are to be seen. This is probably the best the film has ever looked and fans should be pleased. Everything is contained on a dual layer disc. Audio is presented in lossless 2 channel stereo and sounds quite punchy throughout with nice definition.

Extras are as follows and are quite extensive with the commentary tracks ported from the DVD release while everything else is new.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2012

Much like Part II, this is a sequel that will not please all ROTLD fans, let alone all horror fans, let alone all viewers who might stumble onto it. Unlike Return of the Living Dead Part II, this one isn't much of a spoof and any comedy is pitch black and pushed right into the background. Classic comedy in this one is relegated to the "Gallow's humour" variety, such as the boyfriend propping his girlfriend's corpse up on his bike, Weekend at Bernie's style or the asian shopkeeper who hops into Curt's van, hoping to get away from some thugs, only to find a brain-eating zombie in the van and crying "OK, YOU LET ME OUT NOW!". Let's not forget the girlfriend, Julie's, "reprimanded-puppy-dog" expression in the classic moment where she is told she cannot eat brains. However different this may be, I would not go so far as to say this film has "nothing to do with the first two Return of the Living Dead films" or "has more in common with Brian Yuzna's Re-Animator series" as others have done.

Here, director Brian Yuzna and writer John Penney (also the editor of The Return of the Living Dead back in 1985) have crafted a story which is largely gleaned from elements of the first film. Essentially what they did was take the "Freddy/Tina" arc from Return of the Living Dead (and, to a lesser extent, the "Joey/Brenda" arc from Part II) of a lover watching their loved one die and return from the dead, reversed the genders and then examined it more seriously and closely. Throw in a dash of George A. Romero's original concept for Day of the Dead (the military using the dead as soldiers), a slice of Hellraiser's sadomasochistic Cenobites and a chunk of Pet Semetery for the setup and voila! Return of the Living Dead 3.
The military, which lingered in the background of Part I and came forward considerably for Part II are a major part of the story here and it's nice to see some small continuity from Part II in regards to how electricity relates to the living dead in this series and how it can also be used to stun and kill them. The only part of the writing I can't stand, and it's more subdued in the film than the advertising and interviews with the crew would have you believe, is the idea that this is some kind of profound, doomed love. I can appreciate it as a metaphor for grief, but trying to tie Kurt and Julie to "star crossed lovers" is a bit of a stretch. I don't consider Sid and Nancy to be a great romance, either, but I digress.

Acting is a mixed bag. J Trevor Edmonds (Pumpkinhead II) plays an aspiring grunge musician named...Kurt (could they have chosen just a slightly less obvious name?) and he does alright really. His part isn't written the best, but it's a fairly difficult role for a young person in a horror film and he certainly doesn't embaress or detract from the film and at parts you do feel for him. Speaking of parts today's MTV ready Horror actors and actresses could not play, the wonderful Mindy Clarke (KILLER TONGUE, the penultimate episode of "FIREFLY") gets the impossible task of playing a resurrected young lady with the inexplicable desires to eat brains or to mutilate her own flesh in order to stem the desire to eat brains. How's that for a motivation for an actress? As ridicululous as it is, she does a fine job, even making me gloss over the bad judgement on some of the dialogue and the body mutilation, which I have heard described as "sexy" (count me out) or reminiscent of body piercing, here seems to serve as a kind of metaphor to my mind. It's as if David Cronenberg's influence on Brian Yuzna did not run dry after SOCIETY, and here the body piercing reminds me of the abstracted-fictional drug in NAKED LUNCH or the unlikely car-crash fetish later in CRASH (which, admittedly, comes from JG Ballard). She has to keep doing this improbable thing to feel alive and to keep her own identity!

Also in the cast; Kent McCord as Kurt's father, who looks like he should be playing a general in an episode of The A-Team but manages to make it work to highlight the generation gap between his character and Kurt; Sarah Douglas, something of a specialist in bad sequels (and Superman II), playing a sexy go-getting soldier with some bad ideas for the applications of Trioxin ; and Mike Moroff, whose name won't ring a bell, but had memorable turns robbing a convienience store in ROBOCOP and playing a drug lord in DEATH WISH 4. Here some interesting things happen to his spine...

Continuity is pretty good. The design of the TRIOXIN drums is close to the previous films, but without the protective top (and the phone number has changed, but I digress), added to the backstory laid out in Part 1 and hinted at in Part II is the idea that the army had a lot of Trioxin drums with no way to dispose of them and so now are experimenting with them. The idea from Part I that the dead eat the brains of the living as a kind of drug to numb the pain of rot is combined with the use of electricity as a method of dispatch in part II so now we know the electricity-charged neurons of the human brain are what the dead crave. If I may indulge in pedantry, there is some discontinuity with the first two films in some important areas, though nothing like what will happen in parts 4 and 5...Firstly, in Return of the Living Dead 3, a bite from the living dead is enough to communicate, erm, zombification. Earlier in this series, only dying *and* being exposed to the gas (or vapors derived from something exposed to the gas) would make a person a zombie, dying or being bitten just would not do it. If you pay attention here, while most of the "returners" are exposed to the gas in addition to dying, and some who are killed by ghouls do not return, there are definetely three or four that do return after bites without being exposed to 2-4-5 Trioxin...Brian Yuzna correctly notes that in the original Night of the Living Dead by George Romero, any dead person would return to life and any non-lethal bite would just be a flesh wound. However, in Dawn, Day, Land et cetera, it was changed so that a bite would turn someone and simply dying, apparently (if Day is anything to go by) is not enough. Since I didn't have a problem there (indeed, did not even notice until directed to by Mr Yuzna's remarks), I can't hold it against this one. However, remember in The Return of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead Part II, the classic scenes where Thom Mathews and James Karen unknowingly die from exposure to the 2-4-5 Trioxin gas and slowly transform into the living dead? Hilarious scenes, yes (even if Part II doesn't make much sense on this count), but we also learned, in both films, that despite moving and talking, they had no "blood pressure, no pulse, no reflexes, no pupilary response...". Well, in the first scene here, a heart monitor is used to gauge when a zombie is revived. If I can accept in Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND that a heart monitor would be attached to a corpse for literally no conceivable reason, apart from giving the audience a signifier of revival other than showing a chest heaving with a pulse, then I really shouldn't be upset about it here, but it does annoy me slightly.

Moving on to the bad aspects of this film, chiefmost would have to be the music, or at least the main theme. As was unfortunately common in genre films of the time, such as JASON GOES TO HELL, DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE/CEMETERY MAN, Brian Yuzna's own BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, the score is often a synthesised imitation of an orchestral score. Now, I love synthesiser scores - the previous two films in the ROTLD series made good use of them, Twin Peaks would be nothing without it's synthesised pieces - but it will never replace an orchestral score and attempts to are always the worst of all worlds.
Here, I have grown SOME appreciation for the music when I heard Brian Yuzna describe the score as being influenced by Christopher Young's HELLRAISER score. A lot of the film features unremarkable, but effective, riffs on the kind of synthetic score Brad Fiedel did for Terminator 2. When it comes to the big crescendo in the opening and end credits I still don't like it much, and the final scenes ape the cues "Futile Escape" and "Bishop's Countdown" from James Horner's ALIENS score far too closely for my liking. As for soundtrack songs in the mode of the previous two movies (part one had punk, new wave and rockabilly, part two had thrash metal, hair metal and general cheese), there's two or three light-grunge songs (presumably made for the film), one of which I've learned is to replace Guns 'N' Roses' version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" (hey, it could have been worse after all!) and that's it. Brian Yuzna tells in the Complete History of Return of the Living Dead (a great, great book you should get) that he originally wanted wall to wall Ministry songs for the soundtrack!

The budget for this one is allegedly $2, 000, 000, half the budget of the original and a third of the budget of Part II, but still not really small fries. However, while what's on screen is GENERALLY quite good, there is definetely a step down in the scope of this one. It serves okay because the story is much more intimate this time out, with a zombie BREAKOUT of the first two films being mostly absent from the film, but it is also definetely noticeable. The effects are a mixed bag - the design is pretty cool, reminding me of the vampires from FROM DUSK TILL DAWN at times, with a more serious take on the rotten designs William Stout, Bill Munns, Kenny Myers and Tony Gardner did for part one, with little of the cartoon spoofery of Part II. Puppets, which had minor roles in the first two films, do show up here and they look pretty cheesy. Since these lack the goofy feel of the Half-Lady corpse or the first zombie in Part II, it does not work for the film. The design, particularly of the TARMAN (whose arm and face are fused to his body until he painfully pulls them away), is memorable enough.

So, in the end, what you have is definitely a worthwhile watch. Your reaction may range from love to hate or somewhere in between. I'm halfway between love and indifference. The problems keep me from moving any closer to love, but I do respect it a lot and enjoy it each time I watch it. If you've never seen any of the films in the series, see Part I first, then if you choose to proceed, I recommend watching Part II and 3 back to back. Their conflicting flavours help each other, like I find with juice. Blueberry is too sweet (Part II), Cranberry is too bitter (3), but mixed together you get something very refreshing.

Collectors edition bluray review

Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a horror film and tragic love story and arguably one of the best zombie films to come out of the 1990's, a decade in which zombie films weren't that popular and so they were few and far between. But even with that this film can still hold its own against many of the zombie films to come out this century. It's also the best sequel in the return of the living dead film series (FYI no sequel can touch the 1985 original)
J. Trevor Edmond and Melinda Clarke deliver good performances as they play teenage couple Curt and Julie, who sneak into the experiment area of the army base where Curt’s dad works. There they witness a corpse being brought back to life by the Trioxin gas. Later that night Julie is killed in a terrible motorcycle accident. Curt sneaks her back to the base and uses the Trioxin, bringing her back to life with a few side effects, such as eating human brains and shoving pins and needles Into herself to dull the pain of being dead. And when they have a run in with some trouble makers the zombie plague begins to spread.
It wouldn't hurt but you DO NOT need to have seen the first 2 films in order to watch this one. Return of the living dead 3 can easily be a stand alone film.
For a low budget film it as a lot to offer, solid performances, good story, terrific characters and really good makeup effects. Horror fans will love the gore in this uncut version. The ladies will enjoy the love story and cute star J Trevor Edmond, the guys on the other hand will love the very sexy Melinda Clark.
This bluray collectors series edition looks great. The best video quality released to date. It contains a wealth of special features including:
-Audio Commentary with Director Brian Yuzna
-Audio Commentary with Star Melinda Clarke and Special Effects Supervisor Tom Rainone
FEATURETTES:
-Ashes to Ashes (1080p; 26:48) is a fun conversation with Brian Yuzna and John Penney.
-Living Dead Girl (1080p; 18:56) features interview with the still beautiful Melinda Clarke.
-Romeo is Bleeding (1080p; 17:21) is an interview with films star J. Trevor Edmond.
-Trimark and Trioxin (1080p; 13:33) is a kind of interesting retrospective which offers some history on the production as well as the then nascent home video market.
-The Resurrected Dead (1080p; 18:47) focuses on some of the make-up effects, with some great archival behind the scenes footage.

Ultra splattery straight to video retelling of Romeo and Juliet by way of Jean Rollins Living Dead Girl from director Brian Yuzna (Bride of Reanimator, Society).

It's pretty well regarded by genre buffs, and although it aims for straight shocks compared to Yuznas other films (or entries in the series) ROTLD 3 retains the directors signature gleeful disregard for human anatomy and contains some memorably gross set pieces.

Mindy Clarke (who would later star in the popular OC tv series) plays Julie, the punk rocker lass who, after being involved in a fatal motorcycle accident, is bought back from the dead via a vat of Trioxin gas by her heartbroken, bratty grunge boyfriend Kurt (J. Trevor Edmond).

The undead Julie starts to mutilate herself in a bid to feel alive again and quench her seemingly insatiable appetite for human brains. In an interesting subplot, Kurts Dad is an army Colonel utilising Trioxin gas to create an army of zombie soldiers (with predictably hilarious and gruesome results).

It took five special effects teams to bring the many zombies and bloody fireworks of ROTLD 3 to life (a record at the time). The quality of the gore FX vary wildly, ranging from wince inducingly effective to wince inducingly joke shop.

These aesthetic inconsistencies coupled with a slightly cheap looking production design certainly dampen the impact of the visceral and emotionally wrought premise, although Yuzna helms the unfurling chaos with his usual enthusiastic/manic panache and energy.

This handsome Lionsgate bluray release features a restored uncut print of the film, some excellent interviews with the cast and crew (which clock in at over an hour) a trailer and production stills. The film comes in a glossy slip case, although there's no reversible cover or liner notes which, for contemporary purveyors of cult horror film rereleases, has become de rigeuer.

ROTLD 3 is certainly a country mile sized cut above the other straight to video horror dreck that was being excreted out during the early 90's.

Zombie fans will definitely get a kick or three out of it. Check it out!

Tercera entrega en la pentalogia El Regreso de los Muertos Vivientes, dirigida por Brian Yuzna en 1993, en esta ocasión dejan de lado la comedia para desarrollar una historia de amor, pero sigue siendo fiel a la original y los zombies siguen degustando cerebros.

En su momento iba a tener un estreno mayor del que tuvo, pero con lo mal que le fue en taquilla a Warlock the Armageddon, Tridemark decide estrenarla de manera limitada.

Pues como varias cintas, en su estreno no recibió la atención que merecía, pero 27 años después veo que empieza a tener el status que merece y no es para menos, es una cinta sólida, con un presupuesto modesto, la trama fiel a la primera parte, efectos prácticos bien realizados y gore para satisfacer a cualquier fan hardcore. ¡SÚPER RECOMENDABLE!

La primera es un clásico, la segunda fue lo mismo que la 1 pero no tan buena, y eviten a toda costa la 4 y 5.

El Blu-ray tiene audio en inglés y subtítulo solo en inglés.
NO contiene audio o subtítulo en español.
