Return of the Living Dead 3
(1993)DIRECTOR Brian Yuzna, director of such schlocky horror flicks as The Dentist and Silent Night, Deadly Night 4
CALL IT... The One With Julie Cooper
PREMISE Curt (J. Trevor Edmond) and his girlfriend — The O.C.'s Melinda Clarke (pictured), also named Julie here — are so in love that when she flies off his motorcycle into a utility pole, he decides to reanimate her. How? As luck would have it, Curt's dad is in charge of a military program that's using 245 Trioxin to bring back the dead as bioweapons.
BEST ZOMBIE Not only is Julie naked most of the time, but she has metal nails sprouting out of her fingers. Ouch!
GORIEST DEATH Well, arm-biting doesn't count as ''gory,'' and zombies that look more like people dressed in bad Spencer's Halloween costumes can't do much damage. Plus, this one gets mushy: The zombified Julie never eats Curt.
WHAT EW SAID It's ''like the other loopy Living Deads... but it's that touch of amore that makes this one so special.'' EW Video Grade: B+ (Read the review)
