Very uneven. Could have been a great but is far from it. What is a great actor like Peter Coyote doing in a film like this? This fourth entry of the ROTLD series is no good because if offers very little except some nice makeup.
Basically, this is a very cheap zombie movie that is only called ROTLD because in the very beginning we see those famous Trioxin tanks. But in fact, in some way, this film contradicts the whole series because here see the zombies dying by getting shot on the chest. WHAT??
The acting is mediocre and many situations are quite ridiculous. I have no idea why a fine actor like Peter Coyote is doing here. His character is the typical (and stereotypical) evil scientist attempting world domination. When was the last time we saw that one? Duh!
Bad acting and bad screenwriting usually are the key to disaster.
DO NOT BUY THIS , DO NOT RENT THIS , IF YOU SEE THIS IN THE STORES RUN AWAY This is simples the WORST movie about zombies ever made , it's as bad as house of the dead * and i thought that wasn't possible O_O
Another Very Scary Gen Y Horror Movie (NOT!) Yep, in the immortal words of Borat, "not" just about sums up this disaster of a movie. Let's get one thing straight, the dorky kids in this flick all should give up any hope of an acting career. They are insanely terrible. I mean the type who are so bad every line makes you cringe as you think to yourself "a deaf, blind, and dumb person could have delivered that line better." I'm not going to discuss the plot because that would indicate there was a plot. Let's just say this movie fails on all levels; whether it be the script, the acting, the effects, the pacing, the cinematography, or yes, the plot. Its biggest crime is being a horror movie that isn't scary in the least.
Is the Sci Fi channel the worst thing to ever happen to the horror movie as we know it, maybe. They routinely crank out horrible flick after horrible flick. When you see the words "Sci Fi original" you just know it's going to be awful. I really think they take pride in making their movies crappy, as there is no explanation why they are all so bad. This one is no exception. You have been warned, watch at your own risk!
Just awful.... If you're looking for a cool spin on the original comedy/horror Return of the Living Dead, look elsewhere. This movie is definitely not a keeper, might be worth a chuckle or two once or twice, but if you're a zombie-fan don't waste your time. Shaun of the Dead is a much better zombie comedy/horror flick---much, much better.
Deserves MST3K treatment! Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of ROTLD and ROTLD 3 (Mindy Clark is AWESOME!!!!) So I had somewhat high expectations of this movie. Now I realize that I was not going to be blown over with awesome production values or ILM special effects, I did however expect for a plausible storyline. I'm afraid to inform you that the writers of this movie didn't comply. Ridiculous! Avoid this movie like the plague!
