Return of the Living Dead 3 is of course a silly horror film with a romantic twist; the performance by a young Melinda Clarke (credited as Mindy Clarke) is fantastic playing a still sexy undead.

PLOT SYNOPSIS


In Return of the Living Dead: Part II, the chemical Trioxin turned people into flesh-eating zombies. Now, the government is trying to control these unstoppable cannibalistic killers in Return of the Living Dead III. When a young man (J. TREVOR EDMOND) uses the chemical to bring his girlfriend (MELINDA CLARKE) back to life after a motorcycle accident, she is driven to eat the only thing that will nourish her… human brains! She tries to stop her own feeding frenzy but a chain reaction has already begun, as hordes of undead are unleashed from their graves!

VIDEO – 3.5/5


Return of the Living Dead III comes to life courtesy of Lionsgate’s Vestron Video Collector’s Series. Presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer (AVC codec), the picture with some decent colors and detail looks relatively sharp. The only downside is there were the occasional dust marks however nothing overly distracting.

AUDIO – 4.0/5


The movie has been given a DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo track which sounds quite good providing for crisp and clear dialogue levels while still giving depth for those bloody-horror sequences. It’s nothing amazing but, as with the video, for a low budget film going on 25 years, it’s not half bad.

 


OVERALL – 3.5/5


Overall, Return of the Living Dead 3 is of course a silly horror film with a romantic twist; the performance by a young Melinda Clarke (credited as Mindy Clarke) is fantastic playing a still sexy undead. The Blu-ray released through the Vestron Video Collector’s Series offers a nice selection of bonus material and good video/audio transfers.
