Return of the Living Dead 3 is a 1993 horror movie sequel directed by Brian Yuzna and starring Melinda Clarke, J. Trevor Edmond and Kent McCord.

The movie begins with a guy called Curt Reynolds(Edmond) who steals a key card from his father, Col. John Reynolds(McCord) who works at a military base. He takes his girlfriend, Julie(Clarke) to see the place. They enter the facility and spy on his father who is working with others on dead bodies. they are using Trioxin gas which reanimates the corpses. They want to use them as soldiers. The problem is that they are not reliable. They want to eat brains and this keeps them from their function. Julie and Curt watch all of this. The zombie loses control and it goes wild. It bites one of the men and he turns into a zombie also. The experiment is a disaster as they shoot the reanimated corpses. Reynolds is reassigned after this. He tells Curt that they are going to leave. Curt isn't going anywhere and he and Julie ride off on his motorbike. She messes with him and he loses control of the bike and crashes. Julie is killed.

Curt brings her back to the military facility and he tries to bring her back to life using Trioxin. It seems to work. Unfortunately, a zombie has escaped also. It attacks Curt and Julie. They escape from it. Curt knows that Julie is not the same. She bites a man during a robbery at a store. Curt's father discovers that his son is on the run from the police. Julie is getting hungry. She eats a man, causing him to come back and attack the cops. The army guys catch them and they kill the zombie man. Julie and Curt run off. They end up in the sewers. Julie runs off. She ends up in the water. A man is watching her. The robbers from the store are after Julie. They end up in the sewers also. The man from the sewer meets Julie and Curt and he takes them to safety.

John goes looking for his son as some other army guy takes control of the situation. The guy from the sewer is called Riverman. He shows them his home. The robbers are following them, as are the army guys. Julie is changing. She sticks all sorts of sharp objects into her skin. She realises that is she is in pain, her craving for human brains abates. The robbers find them. They are going to kill Curt and Julie. Julie appears in her new form and she kills them all. Curt tries to stop her. Riverman is horrified. The robbers start to change. She kills Riverman. The zombie robbers are trying to get at Curt. John finds them and he sees Julie. He shoots her and she is captured. Curt visits her at the base and he sees what they have been doing to bodies. He doesn't want that to happen to Julie. She is in a cage. He lets all of the zombies out and they attack the staff. He gets bitten himself. John wants Curt to come out but he won't leave Julie. He takes her and they go into the incinerator together.

This was a pretty decent film. Compared to the previous two, it is not as good, but it's a strange one.
It is a zombie love story, which is unusual. It has some good moments and it's got some fun scenes. If you are expecting something like the other two, then this will be a surprise. I think that it is worth a look though, as it is entertaining overall. I will give it a 5/10.
