| | Posted: | | | | I've been thinking about it for a month or so. I thought it was called "Night of the Living Dead," but I found that one at my local DVD-pusher today, and the overview has nothing to do with what I remember...
What I remember: I believe it is from the 80'es. Is is about a group of people that barricades them self in a crematorium, as some acid-like rain, caused by burning a zombie, starts to "wake up" the nearby cemetery - and of course, these zombies are out to get fresh meat, specifically brains, IIRC. The genre, I believe, is best described as "splatter-comedy"...
Well, anyone remember the title of this? | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

Are you thinking of Return of the Living Dead, perhaps? The description is Return of the Living Dead to a T. If it's another movie, it's a rip-off of ROTLD and should be destroyed and replaced with ROTLD.  An all-time favorite of mine. I love it as much now as I did when I first saw it in 85 or so (first VHS release). Unfortunatly both R1 dvds have a "re-mixed" and "upgraded" soundtrack. Purists like myself aren't too happy about the lead zombie voices being different, but that's what the director wanted so I guess it's O.K. Didn't affect my enjoyment anymore than a second of thinking "that does sound way different". |

The 3rd is half decent, directed by Brian Yuzna ( Society, Re-Animator series). The 4th and 5th films were made-for-TV and not so good. | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

| | Posted: | | | | "Not so good" is a gross understatement for parts 4 and 5, especially if you've got to endure the cut versions released here in Germany. They're terrible and IMO even Uwe Boll couldn't have delivered a worse job.
I agree that the first two are good (Pt.2) / very good(Pt. 1) movies, part 3 is ok and lives off the "Yuzna-Myth" a lot (something I oftentimes fail to understand). | | | | Lutz |

| | Posted: | | | | Now... I admit I am easy to please... but I personally enjoyed the first 4 of the 5... the fifth one I wouldn't recommend to anyone. | | | | Pete |

I didn't think 4 was too good really, but I didn't exactly hate it and have seen much worse DTV junk before. The fifth film was indeed atrocious... | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not a huge fan of any past the first, although I'm a fool for hot redheads and Melinda Clarke is smoking hot in part 3 (and naked for a scene!)
5 was Rave to the Grave right, with 4 being Necropolius? I have Rave cuz it was $2 when Hollywood was shutting down. I like it more than Necro, which I rented and couldn't stand.
I'll have to give part 2 another try soon. I haven't seen it in years but remember thinking it went too far on the comedy and didn't have that perfect blend of comdey and horror like the first did. |
