Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Fantastic!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Let it be known I love the Return Of The Living Dead franchise, well 3/5 of them anyway.I rank them up there with Romeros work, they are campy energetic fun zombie flicks.This documentary focuses on the legacy of the first movie and as per this type of film tells the story of its origins, production, special effects and whats happened with it since.Including interviews with all surviving cast members this was a real treat as many of them are very charismatic and delivered fantastic dialogue.Sadly it starts slow, the first quarter of the documentary regarding its financing and opening production is very boring.By the sounds of it the whole thing was a nightmare, full of arguments, dangerous work environment and creative issues.Thankfully the end result turned out to be an iconic great piece of cinema and this is essential viewing for fans of the movie.Kudos to the cast, you delivered in the movie and provided fantastic content here as well.The Good: Interviews are awesome Comedy artwork is a nice touch The Bad: The movies background is alarmingly boring Things I Learnt From This Documentary: Dan O'Bannon sounded like a very questionable human being James Karen needs to be interviewed more, dude is a riot Leslie Nielsen was nearly in Return Of The Living Dead!

If you are a zombie aficionado, then you definitely should be familiar with "Return of the Living Dead" franchise. And having seen "More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead", as a zombie aficionado, then I can honestly say that I was thoroughly and wholeheartedly entertained.Now, bear in mind that this is a documentary about the cult classic, so if documentaries are not in your spectrum of enjoyment, then perhaps you should stay clear of this.But for us hardcore zombie fans, then "More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead" delivers some great insight to the cult classic, both as to what went on behind the camera and on the screen.And it is really nice to have a revisit with the cast members as they reminisce about the movie, the casting, and everything in between."More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead" is a must watch for die-hard fans of "Return of the Living Dead".

I read the massive 300-page opus "The Complete History of the Return of the Living Dead" just six months ago, so "More Brains!" didn't really offer anything new on the making of the film. But that didn't really matter in the end, because this documentary was so wildly entertaining and well made. So much that time just rolled by, I planned of watching it in 3-4 nights before going to sleep, but as I thought I was on the 30-minute mark, I realized that I had watched it almost for an hour and a half already. The best laughs were offered by James Karen and Brian Peck, especially the latter. I always thought Karen's performance was the main driving force in the original film and he's almost as funny in this documentary. "I slept with everybody to get this part" especially cracked me up.I've seen hundreds of making of documentaries and retrospectives and I can honestly say this is one of the very best. And I haven't even checked out the DVD extras yet, which I believe include documentaries of part II and III.

More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead (2011) *** 1/2 (out of 4)If you were disappointed with what MGM extras was on their Special Edition of THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD then have no fear because this documentary will be what you're wanting. Clocking in just under two-hours, this documentary features interviews with the majority of the cast and crew including Clu Galager, James Karen, Thom Matthews, Don Calfa, Brian Peck, John Russo, Jules Brenner, James Dalebandro, Graham Henderson, Tony Gardner, Kenny Myers, Jewel Shepard, William Stout, Beverly Randolph, Paul Sammon, Allan Trautman and of course Linnea Quigley. Director Dan O'Bannon died a couple years before this was released so he's only featured at the end in a touching archival interview, which ended up being his last and this can be seen in its full version as a featurette on the disc. It should go without saying but just about everything you'd want to know about this film is discussed here and some of the best moments are stories about the early stages of production. This includes John Russo's original version of the story and what legal issues he had in regards to the name and George Romero. We also hear about why Tobe Hooper had to back out of the film and then we start to hear about getting the cast together and the six weeks of filming. Fans are really going to eat this thing up since the majority of the major crew are on hand and all of them tell some great stories. There's talk about their favorite scenes, how certain scenes ended up in the film and it seems everyone is mixed on how they ended the movie. If you're a fan of the movie then I can't imagine you not being entertained by this thing and it's certainly great getting to see the cast members as they are today. It's clear that they all have fond memories on the movie and are thankfully that it's still so highly regarded today. There's also a fitting tribute to O'Bannon but once you see his separate featurette/interview you'll notice that a lot of his relationships with the cast and crew were sugar coated here.
