Return of the Living Dead III [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

After the events of the first two films in the franchise, the military are looking into the wartime possibilities of 2,4,5-Trioxin and the undead. On one side is Col. John Reynolds (Kent McCord) and his plan of reanimating the dead and setting them loose on enemies, then freezing them for reuse. On the other is Col. Sinclair (Sarah Douglas) and her idea to outfit the dead in biomechanical suits. The battle between the two officers is taking its toll on Reynolds’ relationship with his son, Curt (J. Trevor Edmonds). Curt, meanwhile, has secretly stolen his father’s top-secret clearance keycard and decides to take his girlfriend, Julie (Melinda Clarke), to see just what his dad is working on. After witnessing an experiment gone horribly wrong, the duo escape and decide to run away together in response to Curt’s father’s grisly experiments. Unfortunately, along the way, Curt and Julie suffer a horrible motorcycle accident. Curt comes through relatively unscathed… but Julie isn’t so lucky after making contact with a telephone pole. Curt is heartbroken, but he remembers there might be a way for him to have his girlfriend back. Will he be able to reanimate the love of his life? And how will the process affect her?

The Return of the Living Dead franchise began with an absolute acknowledged zombie classic in 1985. Three years later, it was followed by a watchable but seriously flawed sequel and would later end up consigned to made-for-tv fare on the Sci-fi Channel with fourth and fifth films in 2005 that hit DVD in 2006 and are generally considered bad enough that the franchise is normally discussed as a “trilogy”. That trilogy ended with cult favorite Brian Yuzna stepping into the director’s chair for 1993’s Return of the Living Dead III. The final product is decidedly different from the franchise precursors and is one of the more underrated horror sequels. It replaces much of the comedy in the series with a brilliant, character-driven love story and is powered by some scene-stealing performances. Oh, and the outstanding practical effects don’t hurt either
