The nights of terror are unleashed when a professor's thirst for knowledge seals his own demise when he unwittingly unseals a cursed underground crypt in an ancient burial ground!
The desecrated graveyard erupts with a ground swell of ravenous, rotting, flesh hungry zombies that shamble into the night in search of living human prey! On the adjoining grounds, a group of clueless, decadent socialites are enjoying a wild weekend retreat of debauchery. Among the the eccentric guest are a nympho mother and her freakish, incestuous son! Unfortunately for the guests, their isolated country villa lies directly in the path of the flesh-eating horde that have party plans of their own!

Frauen sollten definitiv mehr Horrorfilme schauen oder zumindest die grundlegenden Regeln kennen, dann würden sie solch einen Unsinn nicht machen, wie hier zum Beispiel. Sie würden sich sicherlich von verglasten Türen fernhalten, hinter denen eine Horde hungriger Leichen wartet. Und ganz sicher würden sie auch ihr tödlich blasses Kind nicht umarmen, bei dem ein ordentlicher Biss in die Möpse droht... Die Rückkehr der Zombies ist ein weiterer Trashfilm, der in Fulcis Fußstapfen tritt und ihm in einigen Momenten Tribut zollt (das Mädchenauge, das sich dem herausragenden Splitter nähert). Bianchi hat sich nicht wirklich um Details gekümmert (in einer Szene dringen 9 Zombies ins Haus ein, der Mann schießt vielen von ihnen den Kopf ab, aber in der folgenden Aufnahme verlassen die gleiche Anzahl von Toten wieder die Tür), aber die von Würmern zerfressenen Masken sind ziemlich cool, es gibt viel Gore, vielleicht hätten nur mehr Nachtaufnahmen sein können. PS: So hässliche Bastarde scheinen tatsächlich nur in Italien geboren zu werden.

The plot is, as you'd expect, about nothing, but the really cool zombie presence from beginning to end makes up for that. The make-up effects are good, the close-ups make the zombies look like worms are crawling from them, but the clothes they're wearing are too well preserved. They have those classic slow, clumsy movements, but otherwise surprise with their abilities. They know how to use an axe and a scythe, they can throw a shovel, climb a wall and even operate a circular saw. Very clever zombies. Probably some higher level of development :).... Quite a decent and sometimes quite brutal addition to the zombie genre.

A ridiculous story, awful makeup, and a boring mess — this pretty much sums up this trashy film. Even by trash standards, it fails on every level. The film is "notable" only for introducing one of the most bizarre characters ever to hit the screen — Peter Bark. His scenes with his mother are the most memorable parts of the movie, but not in a good way. Some moments are really over the line. Bark’s childlike appearance gives his character’s creepy relationship with his mother a whole new level of weird — from kissing to biting off a nipple. And to top it off, he was 26 years old during filming! It's bizarre to the nth degree. I'll give it 1 star for director Andrea Bianchi's audacity to release such a grotesque disaster.
