This film brought some things now commonly associated with zombies, but the original Living Dead trilogy and Night of the Living Dead (1990) are better.
Still very entertaining.

Melting zombies are the best ones.

Night of the Living Dead claimed to be based on true events, but they had to change a lot of it under pressure from the U.S. military. 1984's The Return of the Living Dead sets the record straight as the zombies make their return in a film that trades very well on gallows humor - the medical equipment warehouse, the entirely-too-prepared mortician - and is undeniably having fun with its subject matter. Who can take split dogs seriously? Or zombies calling first responders so they can get more brains on site? The group of 80s kids, all styles like they come from different movies and would never hang out together for real (including the consistently naked "Trash" played by fitness tape scream queen Linnea Quigley), are part of the joke, surely. The practical effects are all over the place, from cakey make-up to full animatronics, going through a very bad yellow dummy that got a special effects man fired on the spot. But again, part of the fun. The attack on the cast, their response, sometimes hapless, often well reasoned, and the well thought-out consequences do not, however, entirely erase just how shouty the movie is. Screaming, I expect. Shouting, okay, dial it down a bit, guys.
