Return of the Living Dead Re:View (RLM) // This is among the greatest horror comedies ever made.

I'm sure many / most of you have seen the movie, but there are a TON of interesting easter eggs about this movie and IN the movie itself (look out for the Eye Chart in an early scene). I normally wouldn't link to a react, but I think most of us here probably like RLM, so let me know if this isn't something you want me to post anymore.

Anyway, if you HAVEN'T seen the movie, you need to. It's more horror than comedy, but the comedic bits are up there with Evil Dead 2 or Dead / Alive. What makes this film WORK as a comedy is the fact that Dan O'Bannon (writer and director, also the original writer for Ridley Scott's ALIEN) actually rehearsed the actors for a few weeks prior to shooting, to get a more relaxed and natural feel from the dialogue (this is why you hear the actors sometimes "stepping over" or interrupting the end of another's lines-- it is more natural to real life and it was so rehearsed the actors delivered the lines almost as an afterthought.

Plenty of great old actors as well, Clu Gulager, James Karen, and Don Calfa, with his amazing pug-dog eyes.

If you haven't seen the movie, as I said, watch it, but maybe skip this RLM review, and instead check out the trailer:

Darn, just re-read this and it looks like seriousposting. I just fricking love this movie so goddarned much.
