Return of the Living Dead III

Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993)

The Plot: A young man uses a top secret government formula to resurrect his dead girlfriend


  Life is full of choices. Some are easy, and some are not, but all have consequences. Curt Reynolds was driving his motorcycle when he crashed, killing his girlfriend, Julie. It is at this point that Curt had to make some heavy decisions. He could've A) taken responsibility for his actions and reported the accident to the proper authorities, or B) used his father's stolen security badge to sneak into a military base and use a top secret formula to raise his girlfriend from the dead. He chose B. He had good intentions I am sure, but what he couldn't see would be the side effects which turned her into a brain eating zombie who turns to body mutilation and physical pain to mask her unquenchable thirst for human brains. Hey! It happens. 

just a dude and his zombified girlfriend cruisin' the strip


  This movie also does not shine a good light on the military. First off, the security in the base is sloppy at best. They admit Curt's Colonel father into the base without an ID. They allow him to use another officer's badge to gain access to rooms. They fail to catch Curt when he arrives and uses his dad's ID. They allow him to return with his dead girlfriend on the back of his motorcycle. But the kicker is the military is working on a top secret formula that will reanimate the dead so they can use them as an ever growing army of the undead to fight their wars. This may seem far fetched, but I guarantee that if this technology is possible in real life, each nation of the world would be fighting wars with hordes of undead. 
Your tax dollars at work
  Eventually, the base is overrun by zombies. Which is a chance anyone takes when housing zombies. The military seals it off and then Curt has one more decision: abandon Julie to the fire that is consuming the base or flee with his father. He culminates his bad decisions by staying to die with Julie, which since he was bitten in the final melee himself, seems like the only logical choice left to him.
Do I have something on my face?


 I give Return of the Living Dead 3 5 barin eating, zombified girlfriends.

Slugs, The Movie

Image
Slugs (1988) The Plot: Toxic waste mutates slugs and the townsfolk get more than they bargained for.   Slugs. Gross but harmless, right? Sure! Until they are exposed to toxic waste, and then they mutate...into killers! Oh you may think they are slow, and that their brains may only hold the most limited ability to only process the most basic functions to survive; but that would only apply to the garden variety non-toxic waste exposed slugs. (pun intended) Mike Brady, yes, Mike Brady,is the head of the department of health in a sleepy little town who gets caught up in the investigation of some mysterious deaths in town. He is the first to theorize that slugs are the culprit.  Of course, most people think he's nuts. But Mike Brady always gets his gastropod mollusc. These aren't your garden variety slugs   These slugs show no mercy. and the death toll is high. 11 people. Yes, 11 people die by slug in this movie. The hunt in packs so the question is, are there a g...

Candyman

Candyman (1992) The Plot: A graduate student working on her thesis on folklore legends finds more than what she bargained for!   Despite the title, there is no candy in Candyman. Instead we get bees. Many, many bees. The worst of which are the bees filling a toilet. Toilet bees should not be a thing. It's probably the most disturbing thing in this movie. We should thank our lucky stars that we don;t have to check our toilets for bees on a regular basis.  My God! Toilet bees!   Candyman tells the story of a boogyman with a hook for a hand that appears when his name is said 5 times while gazing into a mirror. Go ahead, try doing that. I dare you. BWAHAHAHA! Virginia Madsen  doesn't believe this so she does that...and hilarity ensues! OK maybe not, death ensues. But not before she gets kissed by Candyman who has a mouthful of bees! Bee kissing! first bee toilets, now bee kissing. Don't watch this movie if you are scared of bees.  Check out these m...

Teenagers From Outer Space

  Teenagers From Outer Space (1959) The Plot: A teenager from outer space arrives on Earth as a precursor to invasion but has a change of heart once he meets some Earthlings.    When a teenager from outer space arrives in your neighborhood and introduces himself to you, I bet you would think he would have a weird name, Zortar or Trxtgrwkjj; anything but Derek. But here in this movie, the 2 aliens that arrive are named Derek and Thor, which is not a vaudeville act that toured exclusively in Minnesota in the late 1930s but rather 2 teenagers from space (although they look vaguely early 30ish, perhaps there is something in the water on Derek and Thor's home planet that ages them prematurely). Thor uses his fantastic focused disintegrating ray to kill a dog. This is a line that Derek will not cross. The disintegration of Sparky forces Derek to re-evaluate the choices he has made in his life. Why is he here with doggie disintegrator Thor millions of miles from his home planet ...
