This is a truly hateful movie, towards fans of the series and zombie fans in general. The ROTLD movies have often pride themselves on being the "true" story of Romero's NightOTLD and have been usually fun to watch for the humor and effects. This one has neither, nor anything that truly ties it together with the past sequels. The only thing this movie is full of is stupidity; pure, undiluted stupidity.Having found one of the familiar 'zombie' tanks, that just happen to be lying around, a group of college students take it to their campus labs in hopes of understanding what it is...so they use it in making a drug called "Z"(...Ha...ha...). What follows is menagerie of plot holes and thoughtless actions, which are the only way the plot, which is deader than any of the 'zombies' in the film, is able to move along.As for the reason I mention 'zombies' is because unlike the previous movies, these 'zombies' CAN die from head-shots, or even getting their ears punctured. They smell when they turn, pretty much instantly, even though they aren't really rotting or can sweat. We also have 'zombie' rats that can't tell a real brain from plastic one on an anatomy figure. Then we have a line of up people just meant to be eaten; not batting an eye the panicking people, hear or see the 'zombies' coming, or able to even fight back, to help spread the plague.As for the 'zombie' drug, it has a random release time depending on weight, age, and other factors of the buyer, which we learn about a quarter into the third act. So even though the drug has been in circulation for maybe week, and consumed countless times by annoying DJ and the dealer, we don't get any 'zombies' until near the end of the second act. Which also gives us time for a bunch of time with the truly despicable characters of the film.There is not even a single thing laughable in this movie. It tries to be funny, thinking that oblivious characters or ironic T-shirts are humorous, but ultimately falls short of the punchline with both ankles snapped off. It does manage a statically impossibility ability to not make you laugh at the sheer stupidity of anything.If you are a fan of zombie movies, never watch this one. It's not even 'so bad it's good', more like 'so bad you will be buying a new TV because you'll have put your fist through the screen'. If you find a copy, I implore you to burn it to ashes, never spend a dime on it, rented or otherwise.

OK I am very disappointed from this film. This takes place a little after number four. So the movie basically starts with Peter Coyote. Some of the characters from four did die, but some lived. The ones who lived where in the film with no recollection of what happened in the last movie. It is like it didn't even exist. Now this film and the fourth film were made in the same year. I believe they are both continuations of the original, but with different story lines. Also the fourth seems to reach a different type of audience than this fifth one. The fourth was action with zombies and experiments. This one was drugs, sex, raves and zombies. They actually thought it would be a good idea to put the chemical in a pill form to sell at raves. What was going through their mind making this film?

The first time I saw this one was on TV and I hadn't seen the previous one (Necropolis). I passed off the flaws in this move as it just being edited for TV. However, after watching the DVD of both Necropolis and this movie, this one is crap. It almost completely ignores the last movie, even though the same characters are in it. Granted, I've never met a zombie, but I think that it I had to deal with the living dead not only once, but twice, I would remember, and probably remark on it. Plus, the main character getting all weepy and upset about his uncle dying is a joke. In Necropolis, he didn't even seem to like his uncle to begin with. Then, his uncle tried to kill him, was responsible for the deaths of his parents, his little brother, and most of his friends. Plus, his uncle turned his parents in zombie super-soldiers that were programmed to kill him! Why would he be upset when his uncle died? Then there's the character of Becky. Her character completely changed from the last movie to this one, transforming from a smart, nerdy, innocent girl to a ditsy, sex crazed blond bimbo. And then, she dies, and it doesn't matter. She was a main character, and now she's in two scenes and has three lines and is tossed away. Have these filmmakers ever even seen a movie, let alone make one before? They obviously never saw ROTLD 1-3. It's no wonder that Necropolis and this piece of crap don't have any continuity with ROTLD 1-3, since they don't even have continuity between each other.

While illegally selling one canister of Trioxyin-5, Charlie Garrison (Peter Coyote) is murdered by a zombie. His nephew Julian Garrison (John Keefe) finds two canisters hidden in the attic of his house with his girlfriend Jenny (Jenny Mollen) and they ask their friend Cody (Cory Hardrict) to analyze and research the chemical product. Cody finds that the composition of the product is very similar to ecstasy and he processes the chemical, making a large quantity of a drug that he called "Z" to make money. Using the services of the local drug dealer, they sell "Z" in the college campus. In the Halloween, the DJ and Jenny's brother Jeremy (Cain Mihnea Manoliu) organizes a rave party. Meanwhile, Julian, Jenny and Cody disclose that the drug transform the users in zombies, and with the support of two weird agents, they try to stop the distribution of "Z"."Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave" is flawed and the two men in black try to be funny but they are not. However, there are funny moments and for a B-movie, I had a great surprise and I liked it. The character of Peter Coyote dies maybe with less than 10 minutes and his participation has only the intention to lure the viewer with his name in the credits. I liked also the performance of the gorgeous Jenny Mollen, and I expect to see her again to evaluate her skills. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Retorno dos Mortos-Vivos: Rave" ("The Return of the Living Dead: Rave")
