Some terrific news for UK fright fans, and those with Region-free Blu-ray or DVD players, and that's for the upcoming new release of Return of the Living Dead. It will be released on special edition double DVD and limited edition Steelbook Blu-ray on June 4th from Second Site.
One thing I have noticed is that the BBFC really have lightened up quite a bit, as when I owned this on VHS PAL I am sure it was an 18 certificate, and as you can now see it is a 15. Regardless, the movie is a bonafide classic and will definitely be an addition to my collection. Oh, and it is being released complete with the More Brains! Documentary. For full list of extras, and the DVD artwork, check below.
The dead have risen and they need more ‘BRAINS’! Dan O’Bannon’s cult splatterfest
The Return Of The Living Dead is one of the definitive zombie movies and one of the
classic horror films of the 80s.
Now this horror favourite is being released as a special edition double DVD and makes its
UK Blu-ray debut in a limited edition Steelbook, both with five hours of special features, on
4 June 2012 courtesy of Second Sight.
Blundering medical supplies warehouse workers Frank and his young trainee Freddy
unwittingly set off a mysterious US military chemical that brings the dead back to life. And
they’ve got a real hunger for human brains. Enlisting the help of a local crematorium, they
set off a chain of events that could lead to the end of civilisation. Can they defeat the
growing army of ravenous zombies? ‘How do you kill something that’s already dead’ It’s
not a bad question Bert.
Complete with a raucous rock soundtrack by the inimitable The Cramps, The Return Of
The Living Dead is a zombie gorefest at its best.
