Curious kids unearth the barrels that helped revive the dead of the first film, which proves the second time is an undead charm.
In a great many ways, this is not only a sequel to the first film, but something of a humorous riff on it. Which is even more interesting given that the first film was itself a humorous riff on "Night of the Living Dead". The joke of having two of the actors return -- and even repeat some of their lines -- was just brilliant.
We get a few choices moments -- "your brains are spicy" -- and the addition of Dana Ashbrook (who does not get enough screen time). While it never reaches the level of the original... it is world's apart from the garbage that is part four or part five.
