Console best movie i've ever seen.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

sol- Three kids accidentally unleash the noxious gas that spawned the first film's zombies in this very tongue-in-cheek follow-up movie. Horror sequels are notorious for shamelessly copying the formula of their original, yet this is one that does just that but actively acknowledges it too with James Karen and Thomas Mathews delightfully recast as different characters who nevertheless have the same employer/employees dynamics going on between them. There is a lot of fun to be had in the pair recycling lines from the first film and at its most meta, Mathews comments "it's like we've been here before". The film also gets a lot of zest out of its creative range of zombies and zombie impaling on display. On the minus side though, the zombies talk a lot more in this entry, and sound too much like living human beings, which in turns makes them less freaky than the zombies of Part One. Michael Kenworthy is also rather unappealing as the wimpy young protagonist with the film as its most lively when focus is on Karen and Mathews instead. The film has received some negative criticism over the years for not being as funny or daring (there's no nudity here) as the first film, which may well be true. It is, however, still quite entertaining as an unabashed clone of the first film, which in turn was an unabashed spin-off of 'Night of the Living Dead'.

Realrockerhalloween Going a different direction from where one left off the military lose a canister by a nearby graveyard and the dead rise again to boogie the night away.Returning are James Karen and Thom Matthews playing two crypt robbers who are infected. Relying on the situation comedy trope they bumble up trying to warn the city about the threat heading for it and help their numbers grow.The military has evacuated the town leaving a small group to try and fend themselves from the swarm. What the sequel fail to do is mixing horror in with humor making it a lampoonish cartoon, the characters often make meta references like I feel we've been here before and I wanted to see the nuclear wasteland so I may be biased. The pacing is all over the place leaving you exhausted and has the least re watch value.Feeling the most dated it relied on current styles, music and technology which takes away from the horror that it could take place in any place or time. Not the worse sequel ever made, but it didn't offer anything new or enchanting to draw you in. The first was all about world building from rules of engagement for Zombies, characters, atmosphere and how the gas works. It was a quick cash grab on a promising potential script.

Scott LeBrun It's inevitable that this first sequel to the fondly remembered "The Return of the Living Dead" wouldn't be as much fun. It's mostly a more-of-the-same type of sequel, except that the comedy content is increased. Perhaps writer / director Ken Wiederhorn ("Shock Waves", "Eyes of a Stranger") realized that they couldn't top the original, so decided to take things in a goofier direction. The result is a number of gags that vary in quality. Sometimes the movie is amiable and funny, sometimes it's just silly and tiresome. But the actors give it 100% (especially returnees James Karen and Thom Mathews), and Part II does have some good energy and pacing. Certainly the zombies are made to look more cartoon like than stylized.The Army is transporting several barrels of that wonderful chemical Trioxin when some of them get mislaid. Curious kids look inside one, unleashing the deadly Trioxin which contaminates all of the corpses in a nearby cemetery. Among those who will have to save the day are plucky child Jesse (Michael Kenworthy, "The Blob" '88), his older sister Lucy (Marsha Dietlein), and cable TV installer Tom Essex (Dana Ashbrook, 'Twin Peaks'). Meanwhile, grave robbers Ed (Mr. Karen) and Joey (Mr. Mathews) buy themselves trouble by attempting to purloin human skulls.The cast of familiar faces also includes Suzanne Snyder ("Killer Klowns from Outer Space") as Joey's shrill, annoying girlfriend Brenda, original Morty Seinfeld actor Philip Bruns as the drink-loving Doc Mandel, and Mitch Pileggi ("Shocker", 'The X-Files') as Sarge. Other returnees from the first film include Jonathan Terry (who seems to be playing the same role here), Allan Trautman (who appears much too briefly as a less impressive looking Tarman), and Brian "Scuz" Peck, who plays a featured zombie here.Dopey dialogue abounds, and there are some notable gags: Brenda punches in the face of a zombie, another one trying to rise from its grave keeps getting stepped on, and a third getting blown in half, only to try to reunite its upper and lower body. The characters are generally a lot less interesting this time around, so the viewer may be more likely to root for the zombies.Not bad - it does deliver some modest chuckles - but "The Return of the Living Dead" would have been a tough act to follow anyway.Six out of 10.

utgard14 Much-hated sequel to the '80s classic Return of the Living Dead is better than most people give it credit for being. It's not on the level of the first movie but it's still a fun and enjoyable horror-comedy. The plot is pretty much irrelevant but here goes: a container with a zombie in it falls off the back of an army truck. Some kids mess with it and release a toxic gas that reanimates the dead.James Karen and Thom Mathews return, playing different characters than in the last movie. They're a treat to watch, just like last time. Karen is especially funny and gets many of the movie's best lines. The main part this time around is a kid played by Michael Kenworthy. He's pretty good in what appears to have been his biggest role. The rest of the cast is fine. It's a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all. I'm surprised it's hated as much as it is but the first movie was terrific so any sequel to it was bound to fall up short by comparison. Could've been a lot worse, though.
