darksyde-63508 Why? Just ....just why? This film, and the one that proceeded it are just too horrible for words. The first Return is a classic of the zombie genre, the second one sucked, the third was alright, but still not great, and then they released this tepid pile of crap. Almost nothing makes sense throughout this entire movie. How soldiers could be so stupid to let a group of teenagers into a government facility the way they do is beyond me. And you'll be rooting for every single character in this movie to die in horribly painful ways. Their is not a likable person among them at all. And remember the zombies from the second Resident Evil movie? Yeah, me too. They make an appearance near the end in a how the hell did they get away with this without copyright infringement rip off. If you're gonna see ANY movie in this series, stick with parts one and three. Skip the second fourth and fifth films. You'll wish a zombie were chomping on YOUR brain otherwise.

TheLittleSongbird Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis as far as zombie movies go is not as bad as House of the Dead, Vampegeddon, Zombie Night, Vampires vs. Zombies and Zombie Nation, and I do remember Rave to the Grave being slightly worse, but it is a disgrace to the Return of the Living Dead series (the previous three movies vary in quality, but never to the same level of badness of Necropolis and Rave to the Grave).There is hardly anything good to say about it, other than that the zombie make-up was pretty good and the use of Alice Cooper's Cold Machines was cool and used appropriately. That's where any redeeming merits end. Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis is poorly-made, there is a distinct lack of atmosphere and everything just looks drab and cheap from the haphazard camera work, cheap and sometimes gratuitous gore and incomplete-looking effects. Apart from Cold Machines, the heavy rock soundtrack is over-bearing and takes one of the movie completely.The movie's direction is so flat it completely undermines any tension or suspense, while the script is so awkward-sounding and intelligence-insultingly dumb, tension and suspense is replaced by rapidly tiresome unintentional humour and the story is thin, dull, mind-numbingly stupid and often leads nowhere. The scary moments are all predictable and come off cheesily, and Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis does a poor job with the zombies, they should be the stars and heart of their movie but are severely under-utilised and when they do appear they are very goofy, lifeless and not menacing at all.Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis' characters are as thin as paper and so incredibly dumb they come off irritating, while the acting is a bad mixture of over-acting and going-through-the-motions, I found myself most annoyed by Peter Coyote. To conclude, there are worse zombie movies around but Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis is a disgrace to the series. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Phil Hubbs Necropolis...a great name for film title but I'm afraid the franchise has lost its impetus with this next installation. Again naughty people are trying to use the deadly toxic gas to reanimate the dead and use for military weapons but once again it all goes wrong and the undead run amok...oh geez.We are now firmly in B-movie land with this one, the acting is quite terrible from all members including Peter Coyote and the plot is just a rehash against a different backdrop. The only thing going for this is the well done makeup effects which is just as good as the previous films and makes the film better than it deserves to be. These films are all about the cool hands on makeup effects lets be honest, and they all deliver consistently. This is the one thing these sequels manage to pull off despite the fact they rehash everything else. In that aspect they just about hold your attention if you're a monster/gore lover but the rest is usually pants.Nice idea and design for the undead Terminator style soldiers, a small plus point in a sinking film. One has to ask ones self how many more of these can they do? they are clearly trying to utilize every possible backdrop for the zombie outbreaks, I guess a desert setting will be next, haven't seen that yet.3/10

joemamaohio A ruthless organization (which manufactures everything from cheese to napalm) has a deadly secret...they're keeping zombies for some reason. And the teenagers of the town unite to bring down the company when they take one of their injured friends to the compound.I had a headache watching this film. Seriously, I developed a headache while trying to stomach this filth. There's nothing about this film that's decent, except for the girls, but what else would you expect from a cheaply made, horribly acted horror film? And the fact that the 'star' of the film is a Harvard graduate in real life? Is the job market so bad that a Harvard grad has to settle for this film?
