The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
NGL I did enjoy that film, but it had a lot of invincible zombies not just 1.
I'm talking about a film with ONE cheesy, campy, animalistic, frothing and gurgling zombie that they run over, stab, burn, shoot in the head, feed its intestines into a woodchipper, cut in half, etc but it just keeps crawling back to find another victim when they're displaying a human moment of vulnerability.
Specifics can change but I imagine a misty mountainside with lots of oaks and a creek and long winding roads. Put the kids out there as part of their college studies in cooperation with the forestry services. Get a scene where a character breaks their leg from a fall and has to crawl away while being chased by the zombie with only 1 arm, a head, and a torso.
Possibly have the twist ending be the last survivor find an old torn apart camp with the zombie's camera and personal identifying information and the character realizes he died out there all alone and nobody ever even looked for him, make it a meta-narrative about male loneliness destroying lives, idk, there is options for sure.
Return of the Return of the Living Dead?
No, you're thinking of the 1988 sequel Return of the Living Dead II.
Or the reboot maybe?
Wild to think theres six movies in this franchise with the first in 1985 and the latest this year.
Wanna know an even wilder franchise? Spaceballs - first movie in 1987, second one coming in 2027. Mell Brooks will be 100!
