A horror comedy is a pineapple for a film pizza … That is, some people don’t think they’re going together, but these tastes (in cinema and slices) create a perfect couple. Unfortunately, horror comedies often fall straight because they lean too far in both directions, resulting in films that are either scary without being very funny or stupid without being very scary. Fortunately, one film gained a ratio just decades ago and now you can watch it for free: The return of the living deadZombie Classic is now streaming on tubi.

The return of the living dead to the tubi

If you have never seen it you should know The return of the living dead It has a very thin conspiracy, even according to Tubi horror movies. This film is governed by the wrong measure of the Misfits movie, which has been converted into toxic gas monsters. As Walking Dead increases the number, it becomes a race against time to save our protagonists the day before they bite and become separate monsters trying to fight.

While The return of the living dead He does not have so much plot, he certainly has a better cast than you usually see from the eclectic collection of the horror of tubi. For example, the clu Gulager movie stars (best known for horror fans for playing in Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge) and Thom Matthews (best known for playing Tommy Jarvis Friday 13.: Party we). It also plays beloved scream Queen Linnea Quigley, an icon known for playing in movies like Night of the Demons, Silent Night, Deadly Nightand Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

Fortunately for Orion pictures and director Dan O’Bannon (which he wrote Foreign and worked on the genre classics from Star Wars: New Hope on Total withdrawal), The return of the living dead The main success of the cash register decades before the tubi was even a flash in the eye of the powerful. The film continued to earn $ 14.2 million compared to the budget of $ 3-4 million. This modest profit was sufficient for the Greenlight sequel, and the franchise now includes five films, with a restart to release at the end of this year.

Incredibly, The return of the living dead We even managed to impress critics, such as Roger Ebert, who are historically not burned by a horror genre. On Rotten TomatoesThe film has a critical rating of 91 percent. Generally critics praised the film for their fresh, punk takeover of zombie films and also the balance of humor and horror.

Plus, if you are a horror fan who didn’t see it, you should look The return of the living dead On the tube, so you can appreciate all the cheeses of the moments that made him a genre classic. For example, the film is full of a crazy dialogue, such as “Trash Reconcits clothes”, a line that precedes Linnea Quigley’s undressing in the cemetery. Just think of it as one of those films that perfectly embodiment Joe Briggs’ standards of the drive film for horror for delicious blood, breast and animals.

Moreover The return of the living dead It has its roots in some slightly complicated horror history. The name is similar Night of the Living Dead Because the story freely adapts the novel of the same name written by John Russo, who co -authorized the above George Romero Classic and maintained the rights to shoot films with the term “Living Dead” in them. Fortunately, Dan O’Bannon agreed to direct the film if he could rewrite him dramatically, so the story feels fresh and courageous than to feel like Romero retreat.

You will find The return of the living dead A perfect horror comedy like me, or is it one movie that would you rather throw back to the cemetery (naturally next to Trash’s Closh, naturally)? You won’t know until you stream it yourself. Before the credits are useful, you will be surprised why more directors do not follow Dan O’Bannon’s steps and do something fresh with the cinema zombie, a genre that was as rotten and crumbling as its monsters for years.
