Return of the Living Dead 3 is a Tragic Zombie Romance
The Return of the Living Dead trilogy has always been severely underrated when it comes to the zombie concept. These zombies are impossible to kill, and they can be intelligent when it comes to their own survival.
While the first film will always be considered a cult classic, the second film a forgotten sequel, the third film does hold the heartstrings of horror fans.
Return of the Living Dead 3 focuses on a young couple, named Curt and Julie. They are young and in love, and when Julie is killed in a tragic motorcycle accident; Kurt loses his mind.
Kurt decides to bring her back from the dead, and breaks into a government lab that his father works for.
The lab contains zombies, and he uses a special kind of smoke that the government has been using to wake the dead. Julie comes back to life in Kurt’s arms, but unfortunately; this is not a happy beginning.
Julie immediately starts to give in to her human flesh cravings, wanting to eat anyone that isn’t Kurt.
The couple constantly struggle to look after Julie’s wellbeing and hunger, but despite the shortcomings; they still love each other.
