If you like the kind of uber-gory horror movie that is also satirical,campy and at some points utterly ridiculous then "Return of the Living Dead" is a good bet.It has been called "splatstick"and Joe Bob Briggs often hosted it on TNT Monstervision some years ago.
The loose plot revolves around two guys working in a medical supply warehouse who accidently unleash a chemical from a US Army 55 gallon drum and the vapor cloud promptly re-animates human and animal cadavers in the warehouse "cooler" and the chain reaction that ensues.A bunch of 80's punk-rocker kids are pals with one of medical supply employees and they decide to party in an adjacent graveyard while waiting for his shift to end-and then the "party" begins!Zombies abound!This movie spawned several equally campy sequels,but nothing holds a candle to the original!Unlike all other similar movies,being bitten by a zombie will not transform you-only exposure to the lethal gas will do that.Like many movies of that genre,there is an implication that some secret government conspiracy is behind the outbreak.Its not to be taken serious but its worth a look!
