Curious kids open a barrel of green gas linked to a mysterious military experiment, and soon a tenebrous green cloud of fog is making its way through the creepy town cemetery. Knowing exactly where this is headed is, of course, part of the fun in this tongue-in-cheek zombie sequel. Maybe it's not as fresh as its successful predecessor, but all of the key zombie ingredients are still well preserved in this second installment: ravenous "undead" in search of human brains, severed limbs with a life of their own, and lots and lots of shrieking! Taking a hackneyed premise that is a close retelling of part I, director Ken Wiederhorn (Freddy’s Nightmares, Shock Waves) rejuvenates the genre with sporadic genuine scares, lots of plain old silliness, and some literally eye-popping special effects. Followed up a few years later with the equally enjoyable Return of the Living Dead Part III, this is a fun franchise that reminds you of what '80s horror was all about: bad synth music, and perms. --Matt Wold

1.0 out of 5 stars Movie gets 4, but the DVD gets 0, October 6, 2004

By	Melkor "dark lord" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The people who put out this DVD have totally messed up the soundtrack. It all has to do with noise. First off, there's different music in the movie. Next, there are all these new and odd sound effects that are out of place. Why bother releasing the DVD at all, if they're not going to do it correctly???

3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted this to be better, February 20, 2006

By	Ron (Jersey) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I really enjoyed the first Return of the Living Dead. It was silly in some places, but it had some nice zombie effects, and a killer dark ending. The second picture is a little too over the top for me with the silliness. Just the bad 80's hair and music is enough to make you cringe. Thom Mathews and James Karen reprise (sort of) their roles from the first film. The ending leaves a bit to be desired. The third installment of the series is much darker and better than this one. But to be fair, part 2 is light years ahead of the recent direct to dvd sequels 4 and 5.

1.0 out of 5 stars What's up with the Score?, October 6, 2004

By	Mark Cruickshank "mark32570" (MI, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I should have listened to Harry from Ain't It Cool News. He warned fans that the music was differant on the DVD. But I thought he meant the songs. Losing the rights to songs, and putting different songs in their place for home video is nothing new. But it is the entire score that is different. And the new score is mind numbingly horrible. It completely ruins the movie. There is also a voice over narration at the beggining of the film that I don't remember being there in the theatrical or VHS version. And even more strange, is that when you switch over to the French language track, it is still the original score. This makes no sense at all. Warner Bros. really messed up with this one. I hope they re release it with the proper score. In the meantime, since I know Circuit City won't refund mt money, I'm going to see if Warner Bros. will.
