Aimee-Lynn ChadwickReturn of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave
B**N
SUCH HARSHNESS SHOWN BY OTHER REVIEWS...OUCH!?!?!
Perhaps it was not a 5 STAR FILM, but I've seen the movie multiple times-->I LIKED IT!!! It was a comedy horror flick.{example} For instance, your a high school jock or geek teen zombie with a pyramid of hot cheerleaders in front of you๐. Of course you are going for the butt first than the brain๐...she was a hottie...you wanted a piece of azzzz ๐๐๐ (I'm blushing) hehehe ๐๐ Basically, this was not a GORE film.I'm part of the 80's BRAT-PACK era "Class of 1985". From the late seventies thru the early nineties, we {age range: mid-teens-->early 20's} made the moshing pits, outrageous mega "everything goes" raves, underground clubs, and clubbing a fashionable hierarchy statement {ie CLUB KIDS}. We also had amazingly talented people associated with the HORROR--SYFI--MONSTER--THRILLER--HORROR COMEDY--OCCULT--GORE--CULT genre's. You put those two ingredients together and this is their BRAINchild.The director was Ellory Elkayem who also directed Eight Legged Freaks, They Nest, and Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis. I appreciate and applaud his visionary work. BRAVO!

Imagine that Cheech & Chong made a zombie movie
The Men-in-Black are funny! Sometimes a stupid line with an accent **is** funny.This is a good, "bad", zimbie, comedy movie. It has everything, in just the right amounts.* Puss - check* Boobies - check* Teens - check* Govt orgs behaving poorly - check* Mysterious monster - check* Secret formula/goo - check* Funny older stoners - check* Cheerleaders - check* Dubbed audio (for a few characters) - check* Mouse named "Mr. Stinky" - check* Black dude - check* Brains!This is what a Cheech & Chong zombie movie would be like - minus the band, and if they were 60 yrs younger.Is this move something you want to buy? Probably not. Definitely worth a rental or Prime.Will you be smarter after watching it? Nope, but it is good fun."Rave or Bust!"

The Classic Saga Continues...And Just Gets Better With Time
Oh yes, they did that! The Romanians did a great job with an American classic. For the low star raters - you know who you are - please watch the whole line-up of the Return of the Living Dead movies before judging this one harshly. Know what you are getting into before you watch it then decide to tear it up in your review. We know it has bad humor. We know it has bad special effects. We know it has plot holes. We know it is unrealistic. We know, we know, we know, and that's why we (fans) LOVE it! This is meant to be a comedy horror flick with bad jokes, gratuitous nudity, needless gore, and did I mention bad jokes? I am very glad the writers, producers, and director stuck with the original concept, too. A bunch of fringe college aged kids are out partying, drinking, doing drugs, and dancing to the wild party music of the day and engaging in stereotypical debauchery that old people always accuse teens or young adults of no matter what generation you're from. Someone finds the long lost drum of zombie juice and screws around with it and the next thing you know, someone's yelling, "Shoot him in the head!" It was so good to see Tarman is still doing well and has his head back on straight.

Fun entertainment
This was pretty darn funny. The main characters, as portrayed, did not have to worry about being eaten for their brains, as they showed so little, it wasnโt even a light snack. There was a lot of comic relief in this movie. โIf you canโt trust your drug dealer, who can you trust? while the dealer was selling the Z drug, and asked if it was safe. The young guy picks up his date, not knowing she was already bitten and was a zombie. When they were parked she goes down on him, knowing where HIS brains were. There were two Interpol police, a pair of real funnies, including that they were staying at the Motel 6. There is Brett, the fiercely vegan, who gets bitten, and turns into liking โmeatโ. There is a very heavy drug culture throughout the movie. The last 10 minutes of the movie was a real mess. It got to be annoying. But over all, a fairly entertaining movie. And for those that want, there are plenty of boobs.

like I said about part four it's not that bad!
This one is different than part four and I must say I liked it better.In this one they take the trioxon and use it as a drug not knowing what it will do to people.Of course the people that took the drug end up turning into zombies and that is when the fun begins. Also in this film we have the classic tar man zombie that we all know and love, that I thought was really cool. I still don't understand why people don't like part four and five. But to each their own I guess. But in my opinion if you like the first four return of the living dead films you should like this one. This one has the comedy just like the first two and like part four. In this one you have the two government agents that are funny as hell. As far as the zombies they are like the zombies in part four. Also there is plenty of zombie carnage and gore to please us sick individuals.But all in all this is your standard zombie film with zombies going around killing people. So if you like zombie movies you will like this.

The Walking Dead it is not.
It's camp nothing more nothing less. Didn't expect much but still good for what it is.

To all you "Movie Critics" on here...
Any "true fan" of this series should at least like this movie! I saw the original at the theater back in the day, and have loved it ever since. I participated in the dvd campaign to bring the original to DVD. Rave to the Grave is almost as fun as any in the series(way better than necropolis). I wish that any one who dislikes this movie and gives it a bad rap on here, or anywhere else, would step up to the plate and make something better!!! My two cents worth!!!

Broken DVD case
I disliked that when I received my pkg and opened it the DVD case disintegrated in my hands luckily the DVD itself wasnโt scratched but I had to through the case away so my suggestion is bubble wrap future orders then put in secure pkg for mailing because pkgs do get thrown around during transit from place to place but other then that itโs all good
