Review: Return of the Living Dead is one of those classics that has stayed with me for so many years as one of my favorite horror comedy films ever since I saw Joe Bob Briggs host it on Monster Vision. Finally we get an in depth look behind the making of this cult classic from the perspective of the cast and crew, well those who are still with us! Also you do get a very similar but shorter look at the 2 sequels, yes I do not count anything after Return of the Living Dead 3 a sequel! The people behind this documentary are some of the same people who brought us the documentary "Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy".
This documentary also is around 4 hours total after you add the main feature with all the other features as well, so you do get alot of entertainment and a great lesson behind the films as well. Of all the content you get the one thing I enjoyed the most besides the main feature was the last interview with Dan O'Bannon. It's one of those things that any horror enthusiast will love to see and trust me those who are will love it. Also you get a pretty cool feature that's about 10 minutes long where 2 actors from the film (Beverly Randolph & Brian Peck) go to some of the places where Return was filmed and show them how they are now.
Like the Never Sleep Again documentary you get a very big amount of information and knowledge behind the films and a great understanding about what they went through to make these films. Really there is nothing that I did not like about what you get on this release, this met and even went above what I was expecting. Also I must mention that even though it does run 2 hours on the main feature it goes by smoothly and does not slow down to the point of loosing your attention. overall this was a very well put together documentary that once again shows you and teaches you everything you ever wanted to know about the Return of the Living Dead trilogy and then some! If your a fan I suggest you go order this one now!
