Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave (2005) Reviews
Director and writers: What did I ever do to you?
Why..........why............why..........were these two movies made? Why did you get Fangoria to write an article that made these movies seem worth watching? The article was better than the movies. What were you thinking being somewhat reputable as B-movie writers, directors, and actors claiming in Fangoria that "Bill (Butler) wrote the Rave script dealing with the fans directly." What fans? We zombie fans aren't such a hard-to-please bunch, but I think that "the fans" would be offended to be in any way linked with this piece of crap and that other Necropolis disaster. These two movies made me saddened in general, but fortunately, Land of the Dead was being re-released in an unrated director's cut a couple of days later and the interview with Mr.Romero reaffirmed my love for good directors committed to bringing us, the fans, quality zombie film entertainment. Thank-you for listening.
...and you thought pt. 4 was as bad as it gets!
Man, there are gonna be some seriously ticked-off fans. I mean, I'm a fan of the first 3 films (mostly 1 and 3) but I'm talking about the "die-hards" who are gonna be even more ticked than me because after 2 years of "in-the-making", THIS is what they come up with. Sci-Fi channel can make all of the bad movies-of-the-week that it wants but making sequels to cult favorites like "Return of the Living Dead" is, well, they should really just know better. As if part 4 wasn't bad enough (and it was awful), we get treated to something even worse: part 5. Having absolutely no redeeming qualities, it essentially plays like a 2-hour demonstration of what not to do when making a movie. Not even once does it rise to "so bad it's good" status as it's clear the writer and director aren't aware of ANY of the rules to good "bad movie"-making...such as this one: "Plot holes can exist as long as there is enough action to distract the viewer from focusing on them," The makers of this film apparently think every viewer has the IQ of a coat hanger because the plot holes come fast and steady from the beginning through to the end. Within the first ten minutes, we find ourselves asking: "Why is it that some of the high-school students in the P.E. class look to be about 30 years old?", "Where did the note about the guy's uncle come from?", "How can the main character have lived in his house for years (judging by the dust in the attic) without ever knowing about that secret room?" and "What exactly did Peter Coyote do to deserve this?" and then later, my favorite: "What high school lets unsupervised students use syringes on laboratory rats?" Meanwhile, we get mostly bad dialogue scenes instead of action (or camera work, atmosphere, good music, good dialogue scenes...really, take your pick), to go with these glaring questions. Believe me, I'm not nit-picking. I normally don't mind plot-holes in otherwise entertaining movies. If I was able to overlook them while watching "House of the Dead", I'd say I'm pretty forgiving. I don't think a movie has to be completely in sync with reality, but come on, at least make an effort! Here, it's obvious that someone was just too lazy or too inept to fix them...and that is just one problem that needs fixing! What about the fact that the zombies not only talk, but when they do, they sound just like...humans?! (Well, actually, that was more the case in part 4. Here, they only really talk when the opportunity for a lame one-liner presents itself.) Still, what about the fact that they feel pain? Or that they run (but only when convenient)? Honestly, I think this was made by people who have never seen a single zombie flick. If you don't agree, then explain the makeup effects because, let me tell you: gray face powder and latex cheekbones do not a zombie make. Like I said, fans are gonna be ticked and die-hards may well storm the Sci-Fi Channel HQ. They would have been wise to change this to a stand-alone film instead of a sequel, but as it is, maybe "Return of the Living Dead 5: Dig Your Own Grave" would have been a better title.
This is the worst sequel EVER to a true Masterpiece like ROTLD
First I want to say, I am 22 years old. I first saw Return of the Living Dead (1985) when I was about 2 years old. Since then I have seen it hundreds of times, I have the DVD, VHS, and the Workprint version. I know about every line from the film, and it is my favorite film of all time, bar none. ROTLD 2 sucked, part 3 was not too bad, but lacked dark humor and was not as insane as the first film. I have waited since December 2002 for ROTLD 4 and 5 to come out. All that time...waiting. And finally I see it on the sci fi channel. This piece of garbage falls somewhere below the Preperation H commercials (the bad ones). Joe Versus the Volcano is a masterpiece compared to these "movies". First of all...zombies DO NOT die with a shot to the head!!! Second, Zombies DO NOT get into fist fights with morons, They eat your brains out of your skull! Zombies DO NOT have long conversations!!! And You cannot kill a zombie---you have to burn them completely until there is nothing left just like in part 1!!! Some humor is OK, especially black comedy, but these morons kept bantering on about the stupidest things, and the jokes were not even remotely funny. And 245 Trioxin is not a slime!!! Its a liquid or a gas. This flop had no riots with zombies, no real scary music, no real story, oh and by the way the ARMY should be searching for the tanks, not the Russians searching for them! the writers, director, and anyone who contributed to this piece of garbage should hang their heads in shame. We are the REAL fans, we are the ones who cried out for more sequels...and this is what we get?! Next time hire Dan O Bannon...he's a real director! Why would you destroy such a franchise this way? Next time actually watch the original film before you screw the sequels up. I am outraged and saddened, but I tell you I guess they got in right 20 years ago, and I guess you just cant improve on perfection. Return of the Living Dead Part 1 is and always will be a Masterpiece, unfortunately we cannot even come close to saying that for these two "movies", a waste of 4 hours of my life.
What The Hell??
This movie sucked... period. The storyline was so stupid! It wasn't even good in a bad way. The acting is even worse than the story is. The zombies in this movie look really really bad. The gore looks extremely fake, and the zombies are supposed to be unstoppable in the return of the living dead films! They didn't even stay true to the first 3 movies! That's sad that some crappy company had to just throw the "return of the living dead" tag on the movie, and disgrace the old films. I don't know why anyone would allow this movie to be released. As a die hard zombie movie fan, I am offended that someone could possibly think this piece of crap movie was any good. If your gonna watch a return of the living dead flick... i suggest that it be one of the first 3 movies. Avoid this one at all costs!!!!
Poor ending to a horror series
This final (?) film in the Return Of The Living Dead horror film franchise puts a final nail in the lid of the coffin for this series. The film has little to do with previous entries, except for the Trioxcin gas found in the barrels. Supposedly this is a sequel to part 4. Some of the main characters return, true. They have graduated from high school and are now in college. The problem lies in the fact that they have all seemingly forgotten what befell them in the previous film. So when the barrel with the gas and the zombies do show up, it is as if it is all brand new. Heck, even main character Julian seems to have forgotten that he hates his uncle (Peter Coyote in a very small cameo) after the events of the last film. The zombies are not very exciting visually (mostly some grey skin and latex cheekbones) and the rules of how they act seem to change as the story decrees it necessary. For instance, at times they can run and later on they can only shuffle about. Its too bad that the series had to go out on such a low note. It really did deserve better than this.
