Two kids open yet another barrel of the zombie-making gas and the dead are walking again.

Quick Review: If you liked Return of the Living Dead, you’ll like this, which is part of the problem.  It’s one of those sequels that is so much like the original that it’s hard to come up with a reason to watch it.  There is nothing new here.  Again, there are jokes, most of which you’ve heard before, and gore.  It’s all OK.  The filmmakers were good enough to admit the repeat factor and play with it, bringing back two of the victims from the first film to go through exactly the same situations (and even use some of the same dialog).  Adding in children was a mistake, and there is no nude dance, but otherwise, think of this as an extra 89 minutes of the first film.

Followed by Return of the Living Dead III.
