Review: Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005)

Stars: Peter Coyote, Cory Hardrict


Directed By: Ellory Elkayem

Budget: $6 million

Oh god, Oh Jesus, what is it this rubbish?
Well lets go shall we, well someone decided to make this crap that has very little to do or in common with the past 3 films.

The zombies still crave brains that's a weird given they seem to stuck to in this travesty. Aside from that they have nothing to do with the previous RotLD type zombies at all. They can be killed for a start and quite easy too.

So onto the plot it's super stupid and super simple and makes no sense at all. The previous RotLD only had a third of this ones budget, yes it was almost ten years ago but they made a great movie (compared to this one). Here we go i'll do my best to tell you about this film.

So We see Charles Garrison (Peter Coyote) who has traveled to Chernobyl in Russia. He is a scientist and has procured the last known few barrels of Trioxin 5, yes the zombie gas filled barrels. One of the lackeys gets infected by some goop leaking from one and turns all zombie on the others. Charles kills him with a simple shot to the head (uurgh) and gets away with the barrels.

So he experiments with the gas in his company hybra tech, in which his nephews some how get involved in stupid and convoluted ways. With their friends too, some get turned into strange zombie machine hybrids. SWAT teams show up and pretty much save the day literally that's the plot of this film in a nutshell right there. Yes there's the whole love interests and nephews having a confrontation with their uncle over their magically disappearing friends and family.

That's it this movie is so bland and shallow there's hardly anymore reason to explain anything else. Seriously watch this if you want to continue the series with very very lose connections to the previous 3 films. The uncle manages to get away with some of the Trioxin at the end which inevitably means sequel, yes we got ANOTHER one to go and guess what it's quite quite worse than this shit.

THN is proud to tell you to keep the hell away from this travesty that pretty much spoils the franchise from this point on, and gives it a low low 2 stars out of 5
