...because Revenge of the Living Dead Girls certainly has some very, very memorable scenes. This whole business about the corruption behind a truckload of toxic chemicals and contaminated milk, and how various nefarious people are involved, I... I... ohhh, I'm falling asleep just thinking about it. Pretty sure they were trying to convey a social message as well, you know, so maybe someone out there would take, uh, something in this movie seriously?!
Ok, a French gore movie, from 1987, replete with rampant nudity (directed by a guy with adult films on his resume, and in the Severin Blu-ray extra with him, he has the gall to say the French censor board should've approved this for general audiences, because it doesn't contain a particular sex act found in another movie they reviewed that day! What in the living F. I am certain this film couldn't even pass an R rating in the US.
Oh man, there's some stuff in here I've never seen in a zombie movie. This movie is effectively sleazy, gory, kind of wacky, and in the meantime, for long stretches, really boring. This could've been a good one. As it stands, I'm going a shade over straight down the middle with a 6/10, for the sheer WTF factor.
No shortage of sleazy nudity from sleazy French ladies. Seems like everyone gets naked at some point... INCLUDING the three zombie girls, who get into a 4-way orgy with the local countryside hooker (you know, the one that works over by the graveyard?!)... who gets into it after a while with a zombified hand(?!)... and is then promptly (and gorily, is that a word?) speared in the chooch with a sword. Did I mention the zombie girls chase away her john, drive his car away with her in it, to her apartment, for maybe the most bizarre orgy sequence I've ever seen. Yep, they have sex, drive a car, go swimming, play the church organ, take a confessional, etc. Etc. Boy, zombies sure were smart by 1987 (wait til you see this ludicrous plot twist). I forgot this wasn't an Italian zombie movie, when one of the zombie girls stuffs her high heal into a woman's eye, resulting in geysers of blood. My favorite zombie action, however came in this form: Woman leaves her front door wide open, yet the zombies have the common courtesy to ring the doorbell before entering... and attacking her! That made me LOL. Some effects, effectively gory. Zombie makeup, atrocious.
One guy's hand is infected, and he touches his pregnant (and naked) wife's belly, that spirals into this thoroughly disgusting and bloody abortion scene. Yikes! I really wish they simplified the story, actually wrote some interesting (and distinguishable) characters, and just RAN with some of the crazy ideas in this flick. This has such a wacky conclusion. I suppose the abrupt end could be seen as very dark. I was LAUGHING IT UP.
Extras: One in particular, has the French SFX guy, and... The Producer From Hell! They sit next to each other, and the whole time the producer is spouting misinformation and tales of extreme penny-pinching, the FX guy rolls his eyes, and disagrees with nearly everything he says! His name turns up disparagingly in the director's interview as well. Good thing the effects guy had a sense of humor, 'cause the producer is all business. He actually snaps at the effects guy for wanting more than one zombie mask for the actresses for the duration of filming. Guy gives this irrational, bonkers argument. This extra is a must-see.
