Curious kids open a barrel of green gas linked to a mysterious military experiment, and soon a tenebrous green cloud of fog is making its way through the creepy town cemetery. Knowing exactly where this is headed is, of course, part of the fun in this tongue-in-cheek zombie sequel. Maybe it's not as fresh as its successful predecessor, but all of the key zombie ingredients are still well preserved in this second installment: ravenous "undead" in search of human brains, severed limbs with a life of their own, and lots and lots of shrieking! Taking a hackneyed premise that is a close retelling of part I, director Ken Wiederhorn (Freddy’s Nightmares, Shock Waves) rejuvenates the genre with sporadic genuine scares, lots of plain old silliness, and some literally eye-popping special effects. Followed up a few years later with the equally enjoyable Return of the Living Dead Part III, this is a fun franchise that reminds you of what '80s horror was all about: bad synth music, and perms. --Matt Wold

Customer Reviews

The NEW Soundtrack makes this movie Unwatchable!!!
As others have said before me in their own ways, this movie is no Casablanca or anything but was fun to watch when I saw it as a kid - and enjoyable enough to add to my collection to sit next to my eagerly and long awaited DVD release of the original Return of the Living Dead (1984).
I was very excited to see this finally get released on DVD and could not wait to purchase it - I bought it at Best Buy the day it came out!!! That said - I have tried to watch this movie at least five times since it's release in October of 2004 (now August of 2008) and cannot get any further than the first cemetary scene...THE SOUNDTRACK IS AWFUL!!! It truly makes this movie unwatchable!! No joke - seriously - I mean REALLY UNWATCHABLE!! What the hell were they thinking?! If they couldn't secure the rights to the original soundtrack then they shouldn't have released it at all...this new soundtrack is mediocre at BEST!! Please WB, recall each and every one of these DVD's and have them shredded...they should not be allowed to even be seen or heard. The new soundtrack is the scariest part of this DVD!! I can't believe someone could have actually TRIED to mix this awful music into the movie and feel, "Oh, yes, this is great - I'm sure fans of this film will love this new simplistic version of the soundtrack." I am aware I am going on a little bit too much about this 2 star movie at best but, well, I actually liked it back in the day (warts and all) and one of the best things about this movie back then was it's original "Score" (although, it was synthesized orchestrations - they definitely sounded WAY BETTER than this S**T!!)
Put the original score back and re-release it for us true fans, please.
Thanks...umm, anyone want to buy a DVD of ROTLD II...great condition...Practically unwatched...

A classic horror
In short, this movie mixes humor with good special effects considering the time it was released. This is a five star rated movie-

yummy!
ok maybe i confused the review i put for the first one with this one.but hey,this is still great:D
