More Brains More Fun,
By
This review is from: More Brains: A Return to the Living Dead (DVD)
For a life long fan of "Return Of The Living Dead" it was great to catch up on what the cast & crew looks like now, and to hear stories from behind the scenes when shooting the movie. I can't wait to watch the special features next where they have lots more about one of the best zombie movies ever made.

More BRAINS, please!,
By T. Seely "horror mania!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Brains: A Return to the Living Dead (DVD)
From some of the folks who brought us the Never Sleep Again documentary, which focuses on the Nightmare on Elm Street series, comes "MORE BRAINS: A Return to the Living Dead". I've been anticipating this release since I first read about it in the Horror Hound forum. I immediately pre-ordered it, and have been waiting patiently ever since. It came in yesterday's mail, a few days before the official release date, and I have just finished devouring it - from the main documentary feature through every second of the bonus features. I feel like this is an outstanding endeavor, well worth the time of everyone from casual zombie film fans to the most ardent RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD die-hards. Almost everyone who had a hand in the original film has a say, and it's the mix of the good, the bad and the ugly that gives the most well-rounded look at this iconic film. For instance: SFX man William Munns sure takes a shellacking, but it appears he was in over his head from the start. William Stout's story about Linnea's tombstone dance had me in stitches. And I was genuinely moved by Dan O'Bannon's final comments in his interview segment.If I have any quibbles with the documentary, they're minor. A "Play All" option would have been nice for the deleted scenes. I can't think of much which could have been added, although knowing that similar series documentaries for Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street have been double-disc sets makes me wonder...maybe an interview with vocalist Dinah Cancer of 45 Grave, whose song "Partytime" was such an integral part of the film...maybe a gallery of posters and promotional materials...convention footage of the reunited cast members...interviews with Christian Sellers and Gary Smart, who wrote the recent authorative book on the ROTLD series? In the end, I enjoyed this release immensely. It came across as a labor of love, and has filled me with nostalgia for the film for the past two days. I'm ready to watch it again. PS Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and now RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD have been covered...would the producers of this documentary be willing to undertake an in-depth look at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series? 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Another excellent horror doc,
By Myke Havoc - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Brains: A Return to the Living Dead (DVD)
I had the pleasure of purchasing a copy of More Brains! from Thommy Hutson (producer - His Name Was Jason, Never Sleep Again, Inside Story: Scream etc.) this past weekend at the Rock and Shock convention. As a rather large fan of the franchise, I found myself greatly enjoying the anecdotes and stories shared by all the cast and crew. The few bits from Dan O'Bannon were particularly potent, nearly pulling out a tear or two. This doc more then adequately covers the first three installments of the RotLD series (the only entries that matter) and comes with a nice collection of extended bits and featuretts. Although the bar was set incredibly high with Never Sleep Again (the standard that all docs should be held to), More Brains! is a fine contribution to the new string of franchise documentaries popping up over the last decade as well as a great companion piece to any zombie-lovers collection.

Send more paramedics!,
By James Burden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Brains: A Return to the Living Dead (DVD)
From the people who made the greatest horror documentary ever (Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy)comes another solid feature all about the little zombie film that did, Return of the Living Dead.Because I write reviews for my own personal site, CAV Distributing sent me this early to watch and critique. The main documentary, which clocks in at just over 2 hours long, goes over the first film in the series. Just about everyone who was involved in the making of the film, except for Mark Venturini and Dan O'Bannon who had both tragically passed away previously, were involved in the documentary. And just like the Elm Street Legacy, you really get to see the colors of the crew being interviewed. I was honestly howling in laughter during most of Clu Gulager, Don Kalfa, and Miguel Núñez's segments. The main stuff covered was: - Getting the rights to the name. - Financing the film. - Getting the effects to match O'Bannon's vision. - The changing in crew that they kept doing - Behind the scenes tension including Jewel Shepard being a priss and Dan O' Bannon being threatened by Clu Gulager - The entire plot of the movie To be honest, I expected this to be great and it was, but for some reason I expected alot more out of it. Its great for what's there, but if it were just a little bit better, it'd be a definite 10/10 instead of just an 8 on my scale. I definitely recommend that you buy the DVD when it goes on the market in a week. Along with the doc on the first film, there are two half an hour documentaries about parts 2 and 3 as special features, a music video for "Tonight" by Stacey Q (the song that played during the infamous graveyard dance scene), a looked at the film's locations nowadays, and the last interview that the late great Dan O'Bannon ever had. It's fun, it's entertaining, and you should have one hell of a time watching it. |
