Return of the Living Dead Part II moves the mixture of military accident, undead hunger and broad comedy into a small town adventure with a younger center of attention. Its zombies retain enough personality to make a demand as well as a threat. Watch how the film uses public infrastructure and familiar gathering places to widen the outbreak. The comedy works through the difficulty of treating an impossible event as a practical problem, especially when the apparent solution merely redirects the danger.
