THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985)
U.S. | 91 mins | Dir. Dan O’Bannon | 35mm
When Frank and Freddy, employees of the
Uneeda Medical Supply company, decide to check out the rumors surrounding the
metal cylinders stored in the basement – cylinders reportedly containing the
bodies of captured zombies – they’ve no idea of the horror awaiting them. Frank
confidently slaps the side of the cylinder, and to both their horror, a putrid
green vapor spurts out. The men are overcome by the fumes. Inside the cases,
bodies begin to stir. Their hunger for human brains is as urgent as ever.
The living dead start chanting for “live
brains”. And they get them, in one horror scene after another.
RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II (1988)
U.S. | 89 mins | Dir. Ken Wiederhorn | 35mm
In Return of the Living Dead Part II,
grotesque zombies return to terrorize the inhabitants of a small town. The
horror begins as mysterious barrels bounce off an Army transport as it passes
through a new housing development and land near an abandoned cemetery.
Mischievous neighborhood boys discover the barrels and open them, unaware of
the evil that lurks within. A sinister green vapor escapes and turns the living
into flesh-eating zombies and wrenches the dead up from their graves, transforming
them into living, human-preying nightmares. As these hideous creatures hunt
down the fresh human brains that they desperately need, man is pitted against
man, and the living against the dead. It is a macabre struggle for survival and
a race to destroy the gruesome zombies before it is too late!
