Return of the Living Dead
USA
1985,
91 min,
Dir: Dan O'Bannon
Our retro film for 2009 is this horror-comedy classic from 1985. A young man on his first day at a medical supply company hears a tall tale from his supervisor: the film Night of the Living Dead was based on a true story. The proof is in the basement – a canister of chemicals that reanimates the dead. When the canister breaks open, the dead rise to terrorize the hapless clerk, his panicky boss, and his punker friends at the graveyard outside. The film that gave us brain-munching zombies, Return of Living Dead is presented in 35MM for the first time since its release!
