Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005)

You cannot kill what is already dead.

In the fourth installment of the Return of the Living Dead series (not to be confused with the "... of the Dead" series of George A. Romero), a group of less than convincing high school students are pitted against yet more brain eating zombies at an evil corporate compound.

Necropolis attempts to be a plot-heavy movie, which is not particularly necessary. Let's face it, in a movie like this the plot is kind of like that of a porn flick... it's only a vehicle to get you from one action scene to the next. Of course in this case it's brains that are being eaten... not anything else.

Unfortunately the result of this is that it takes an hour to really see any zombies and by the time, you will probably be asleep. However, if you can make it through the absurdity, horrendous acting, and utter dullness, you will find the odd moment of undead fun. I hate to spoil it, but let's put it this way: nunchuks, karate, cyborg zombies, and a whole lot of douche bags getting what they probably deserve. It also benefits from the presence of the charming actress Aimee-Lynn Chadwick aka "Becky," who's acting is slightly less abysmal than most of her co-stars and comes out as pretty much the only character I didn't actually want to see eaten by the undead.

Rated 18A/R for horror violence/gore and language.
