Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993) \u2013 Lionsgate\/Vestron Video<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/em><\/strong>Brian Yuzna\u2019s underrated sequel takes the zombie series in a new direction and finishes the trilogy. No parts four and five don\u2019t count. Either way, this sequel expands on the Tina and Freddy centering on a pair of star crossed lovers. When Curt and girlfriend Julie get in a horrible motorcycle accident, Curt revives Julie with the help of Trioxin gas. Self loathing and filled with an insatiable hunger, Julie seeks to ease her pain by bodily mutilation and eating the brains of anyone she meets. As Curt tries to keep her humanity in tact, the pair has to face off against the fall out of Julie\u2019s zombified victims. I would have suggested the original film now available from Shout! but everyone has that release. This deserves another chance for its sincere attempt at an emotional narrative, and some neat callbacks to the original film.<\/p>\n
