ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Realrockerhalloween Necrophilis is a scifi original dealing with an evil factory who produces trioxine and now a new generation of teens must take them on before they poison the entire world.While I appreciate the effort to give us a resident evil knockoff, it has none of the charm or style and good acting that made it a block buster.The kids are all good looking twenty year olds who attend high school, use four wheelers and walkies talkies to break in as if it were a walk in the park.The rules set up for the last there films are forgotten as a head shot now kills them and the has leaking from containers doesn't turn you into a zombie. It undermines the foundation these sequels are created on and could've easily been rewritten without hurting the pacing.It even rehashed the poor of three to use them in chemical warfare without worrying they could swell their numbers and take over the world.Acting wise it was standard television movie quality with stone cold faces and monotone voices. The chemistry was there in a few sequences, but their acting chops hadn't developed to keep it flowing.With a few rewrites, a new caste and a punk or alternative soundtrack it would be a fine sequel. The way it stands a guilty pleasure.
jlthornb51 Veteran director Ellory Elkayem is at the top of his game with this dark but comedic entry in the Dead series. Starring a cast of exciting and talented young people, the action never lets up and the thrills keep coming without let-up. From the discomforting opening scenes, filmed in the haunting locale of Chernobyl itself, to the darkly hilarious zombie battles, this is a motion picture made to please both the fans and casual audiences of the zombie genre. Especially effective is superb actor Peter Coyotee who gives a memorably inspired performance as a scientist bent on world domination. Coyotee is deeply menacing with a touch of humor in a portrayal that breathes new life into the mad scientist cliché. Most refreshing are the strong female characters in this film, very able to hold there own or more while facing the horror unflinchingly. The dialog is sharp and witty as the script incisively explores metaphorically the threat of the giant corporate mentality permeating American society. While not for the squeamish, Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis is a thoughtfully produced and at times brilliant film that is well worth the time of the most discriminating student of cinema and genre fan alike.
fnkdoyle I repeat: Did the people that wrote this move even see the first three??Anyone who is a fan of the first 3 films knows what I mean after seeing this movie.These zombies shamble around. They die when shot in the head. Are not even remotely smart (but the same can be said about the cast as well. Also the gas kills real fast unlike the first two films.As a zombie movie fan I would tell people this movie isn't worth the watch. If your a fan of the 'return of the living dead' movies, take my advice and DON'T watch it.
austinmanix It's not gonna win any awards, but it's fun to watch. Anyone who has seen the first two (Return of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead Part 2) knows that these movies are supposed to be something you laugh at and jump at a few times. You aren't supposed to root for the good guys because the good guys are stupid. The story is simple; a group of high school students who know how to ride dirt bikes, shoot machine guns and for the most part have mad fighting skills discover tons of zombies in a building that houses everything from WMA's to, well, zombies. A$$hole bad guy locks them in, good stupid guy shoots a lock...bam! Zombies. This movie has everything one has come to expect from the Return of the Living Dead series, the school bimbo (who looks about 30), the hot nerd chick, the annoying little brother, the bad ass, the hero, the hero's girl, the jerk and the one that never really says anything and he dies and you realize that you forgot he was even part of the group.Think of it like this. It's Troma meets Resident Evil meets Star Trek:First Contact meets MacGyver. Just watch it knowing that it it's a far cry from Dawn of the Dead (the 1978) but it doesn't suck even half as much as Anaconda and Halloween 3 combined.
