Rebellious young Curt kills his angsty, young girlfriend, Julie, in a motorcycle accident, but since his dad is a U.S. general in charge of the Trioxin Project, (to turn corpses into super-soldiers,) Curt decides to reanimate Julie and the inevitable mishaps ensue.
Loads of overacting, lots of yelling, and so much bad decision-making play out in a constant chase-and-be-chased game of gore. There are some good special effects, (and FINALLY no party music during zombie attacks,) but these can't save this film. Unlikeable characters, unrealistic scenarios, and unoriginal plot all score low marks. It is only the production, (when compared to the plethora of crap amateur and/or low-budget zombie flicks out there,) that make this even watchable. Not for sober viewing.
When held up to the harsh grey light of my Zombie Movies Reviews Rubric, Return...3 tallied up to a 1.75.
This is clearly for fans of the franchise only... And forgiving ones at that.
