Amazon.co.uk Review
Return of the Living Dead III is the third go-round for a premise intended as both a sequel to and a satire of the George A Romero Living Dead films. This could just as easily have been an entry in director Brian Yuzna's Re-Animator series, and indeed the plot nugget seems derived from the last shot of Re-Animator itself, as a devoted youth (J. Trevor Edmond) revives his freshly dead girlfriend (Mindy Clarke) with trioxin, a military zombie-making gas, and learns to regret his actions. Though it has some left-field ideas--the heroine turns herself into a DIY Hellraiser Cenobite poster-girl with extreme body piercing to distract herself from the desire to eat her boyfriend's brain--and effective action, it is still confined by its low budget and thus stuck with ordinary acting, a minimal plot and too many dumb developments.

The central thread is the necrophile/SM romance, which ends up in a liebestod clinch in the army base's furnace, but there's a sub-plot about a quartet of zombified gang members which serves mainly to get some violence going every few minutes. Clarke is a striking presence, studded with bits of metal like a punk porcupine, but her performance flat lines even before her death in a motorcycle crash and revival as a zombie, while the rest of the cast--with the honourable exceptions of Kent McCord as a senior officer and Basil Wallace as a mystical down-and-out--are typified by Sarah Douglas' strident militarist mad scientist, who wants to put zombies in armoured exoskeletons and deploy them as combat troops. Nevertheless, this is gruesome fun for the fans, with some imaginative zombie mutilation effects.

On the DVD: It's a no-frills full-screen transfer. The only extra is a 50-second trailer.--Kim Newman

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first two, 17 May 2006
By Ms. B. Williams "Beth" (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I disgree with a number of reviews on this film. I believe that this film is superior to the first two films in the Return of the Living Dead series. The story is based around a teenage boy named Curt (J. Trevor Edmund) whose father works in the military on a secret project. The secret project is the use of zombies in warfare and ways of keeping them under control while not in use. Curt sneaks into his father's military compound with his girlfriend Julie (played by Mindy Clarke) to see just what it is his father's up to. He is told by his father that they are to move as he is being reassigned. Curt, who has had a lifetime of being moved around and losing friends as soon as he's made them decides to run away with Julie on his motorbike. Whilst doing this Curt crashes his bike and Julie dies. So distraught is he by this, he proceeds to get his girlfriend into the compound and revive her using Trioxin. The film then follows with the struggle of Julie slowly losing her grip on humanity as her lust for blood and brains gets out of control.

The film is not really a comedy as the first 2 films were. It's more a love story that still transcends the fact that she now is essentially a zombie with human qualities. Both main characters give a good performance. Return of the Living Dead 3 is totally different in style and story to the first two. The majority of this film is very personal to the two main characters and the influx of comedy zombies screaming for brains only really comes later in the film. If you want a jokey film you're probably better off watching one of the first of the trilogy but this film is more love story than comedy horror.
I think the way in which you can judge a film is by how much of the film you remember years later. I watched all of the films when they first come it. This one I remembered the most.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best!, 22 Oct 2001
By Robert Gwilliam "The Film Goer" (Sleepy Suffolk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Zombie flicks are not supposed to be sophisticated, and serious films. They are great when, like this, they are made very tongue-in-cheek, with almost-comic special effects. Seeing the spanish guy as a zombie with his head and spine ripped and extended and thus able to fit through the hole in the door is great!

The other major plus in this film is Mindy Clarke, who has to be the sexist, and best-looking zombie ever!!! The acting isn't half bad either but that realy isn't why you'd want to watch this. The plot, yes it has one, is simple but well played out, and it does get away from being a simple hack and slash zombie movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST IN THE SERIES, 4 Oct 2008
RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 surely beats the lame first two parts of the series and ranks high as one of the best zombie films ever made - at least in my opinion. And that is because it's DIFFERENT. One of its taglines was "Romeo and Juliette meet the Living Dead" and that's exactly what it is. It's not a shocking movie - although ultra gory with GREAT SFX - combining comedy and horror and it cannot be taken seriously at all.
