Return Of The Living Dead : Rave To The Grave (2005) 7/10

Starring : Jenny Mollen, Cory Hardrict, John Keefe, Aimee-Lynn Chadwick, Peter Coyote
Director : Ellory Elkayem
Running Time : 92 mins

When Julian Garrison (Keefe) finds a mysterious collection of canisters in his dead uncles house, he asks his friend Cody (Hardrict), a chemistry major, to take a look at it for him and he discovers the contents has strange hallucinogenic properties, a little like ecstasy. They start selling it in pill form around their college campus, but it isn’t long before they realise that the zombie-like affect of the drug also eventually turns the users into brain-eating monsters.

This series has never been about serious horror, and this fifth movie takes all the horror clichés and elevates them to the extreme. The characters are likeable but cliché, and the scenario is so silly that it is actually far more entertaining than the fourth instalment. Fans of gross-out silliness will enjoy this, though the ending is a little bit of a sore point for me and kind of ruined the rest of the knowing script.
