It's zombies vs. humans in this fun-and-gory comic horror film.

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

None of it makes much sense in terms of continuity, but it's pretty darn entertaining all the same.

This derivative sequel lacks the potency of its predecessor, which clearly possessed "More Brains!"

Still self-aware of the zombie nonsense, going so far as to include some slapstick routines, this sequel essentially just repeats the plot from before.

Sara Michelle Fetters

[It's] hard to imagine even die-hard genre fans who adore the original have much that's all that positive to say about this unfortunate misfire.

Return of the Living Dead Part II lacks the stinging humor Dan O'Bannon brought to the original.
