Blundering medical supplies warehouse workers Frank and his young trainee Freddy unwittingly set off a mysterious US military chemical that brings the dead back to life. And they've got a real hunger for human brains. Enlisting the help of a local crematorium, they set off a chain of events that could lead to the end of civilisation. Can they defeat the growing army of ravenous zombies? ‘How do you kill something that's already dead' It's not a bad question Bert.

The film that saw John Carpenter's college friend and former collaborator Dan O'Bannon make his own distinctive mark as a director, the 1985 The Return of the Living Dead went on to become one of the cult films of the 80s, and remains one of the most fondly regarded of all zombie movies. Complete with a raucous rock soundtrack by the inimitable The Cramps, The Return Of The Living Dead is a zombie gorefest at its finest and wittiest.
