Curious kids open a barrel of green gas linked to a mysterious military experiment, and soon a tenebrous green cloud of fog is making its way through the creepy town cemetery. Knowing exactly where this is headed is, of course, part of the fun in this tongue-in-cheek zombie sequel. Maybe it's not as fresh as its successful predecessor, but all of the key zombie ingredients are still well preserved in this second installment: ravenous "undead" in search of human brains, severed limbs with a life of their own, and lots and lots of shrieking! Taking a hackneyed premise that is a close retelling of part I, director Ken Wiederhorn (Freddy's Nightmares, Shock Waves) rejuvenates the genre with sporadic genuine scares, lots of plain old silliness, and some literally eye-popping special effects. Followed up a few years later with the equally enjoyable Return of the Living Dead Part III, this is a fun franchise that reminds you of what '80s horror was all about: bad synth music, and perms. --Matt Wold

 "Still a fun sequel, but bad bad bad very bad dvd!" October 13, 2008
Reba F. Maloata (Hinesville, GA, U.S.A.)
Okay, I would be surprised if it had some additional scenes or extra bloody gore scenes or whatever, but not changing the scores and music, what the hell was that additional dialouge has been dubbed, in the scene when Freddy starting to eat Brenda's brain, it was off track!!! When I first got the dvd, I was thrilled, but I start watch it, my ears, my eyes, and my mind just zapped, like something wrong with movie, something different, I was mad, even the director on the commentary wasn't satisfied of the track, I know all of us fans felt the same way. I love the first movie and the second movie. Movie still good, I'm okay with it, but I they can redo this, like first film did, the special edition with the original track, GOD I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Loved it as a kid... then I grew up. October 4, 2008
DR. PRETORIUS (Seattle, WA)
'Return of the Living Dead Part II' tried to re-capture the lightning-in-a-bottle so brilliantly achieved by the original. It fails on all levels. This time around the comedy is more abundant, but nothing is funny here. The effects are bad, the acting is atrocious... and THE MUSICAL SCORE HAS GIVEN ME EAR CANCER. I found out shortly after viewing this turd that the music on the DVD is not the original score. Believe me, 'ROTLD2' might be a hair better if the original music was in place, but it's still a failed attempt at zombie comedy. I felt bad for James Karen and Thom Matthews as they stumbled around trying to be like their characters from the first movie. It's really quite embarrassing to behold. Do yourself a favor and buy the excellent 'Return of the Living Dead' and pretend its four sequels never happened.
The NEW Soundtrack makes this movie Unwatchable!!! August 7, 2008

As others have said before me in their own ways, this movie is no Casablanca or anything but was fun to watch when I saw it as a kid - and enjoyable enough to add to my collection to sit next to my eagerly and long awaited DVD release of the original Return of the Living Dead (1984).
I was very excited to see this finally get released on DVD and could not wait to purchase it - I bought it at Best Buy the day it came out!!! That said - I have tried to watch this movie at least five times since it's release in October of 2004 (now August of 2008) and cannot get any further than the first cemetary scene...THE SOUNDTRACK IS AWFUL!!! It truly makes this movie unwatchable!! No joke - seriously - I mean REALLY UNWATCHABLE!! What the hell were they thinking?! If they couldn't secure the rights to the original soundtrack then they shouldn't have released it at all...this new soundtrack is mediocre at BEST!! Please WB, recall each and every one of these DVD's and have them shredded...they should not be allowed to even be seen or heard. The new soundtrack is the scariest part of this DVD!! I can't believe someone could have actually TRIED to mix this awful music into the movie and feel, "Oh, yes, this is great - I'm sure fans of this film will love this new simplistic version of the soundtrack." I am aware I am going on a little bit too much about this 2 star movie at best but, well, I actually liked it back in the day (warts and all) and one of the best things about this movie back then was it's original "Score" (although, it was synthesized orchestrations - they definitely sounded WAY BETTER than this S**T!!)
Put the original score back and re-release it for us true fans, please.
Thanks...umm, anyone want to buy a DVD of ROTLD II...great condition...Practically unwatched...
 A classic horror June 9, 2008
