Reboot of the Living Dead
11 September 2019
Return of the Living Dead saga leaves the '80s, enter the '90s, and boy: does it TELL! Completely different entry, both in style and tone, linked to the previous chapters just by a tiny detail, the presence of the infamous Trioxin compound. Everything feels different; no more zany survivors trying to escape the hoard of undead (there's no hoard at all, just a couple of infected people), comedy tags replaced by tender love moments, and last but not least the worst change of them all: while the in-universe canon established in the first movie that reanimated corpses are in constant pain and seek human flesh to soothe it, now they apparently seek pain to stop the constant hunger. Ok but not ok. Honorable mention for a 24yo Melinda Clarke, not only beautiful to look at but also capable of decent acting.
