Film Review: Revenge of the Living Dead Girls

Film Review: Revenge of the Living Dead Girls



This film is sort of an inexplicable French horror film from the 80’s. The acting is awful, the plot made me shake my head. It does have female zombies biting a man’s penis off in it, if that’s your thing. There is also a sequence where the female zombies sexual violate, she later appears to like it, and then one of the female zombies sticks a sword in her vagina.
That’s a real sign of some class cinema, there’s a scene involving a woman being sexually violated by a monster and then as it occurs she looks like she’s getting into it. That’s been in a bunch heinous films I’ve seen of late. The film the Geek, which is thankfully becoming hard to find, Bigfoot rapes the chick and she looks like she’s into it. The maggot scene in Galaxy of Terror is kind of like that. And of course, there’s all the Japanese animated porn with the girls getting raped by monsters with tentacles.
I’m not going to even bother explaining the “plot” in detail. Small French town with a German owned chemical company in it. The opening scene a guy on a motorcycle sneaks a bunch of poison in a milk truck. Three girls die from drinking milk. The scene the first girl dies, she’s hanging out with her mother in the kitchen but she’s wearing erotic lingerie. There’s part where a woman that works at the chemical company unbuttons her shirt, offers the guy a million and a half dollars or something like that for sex and he refuses. It happens for no real reason either.
There’s a lot about this film that doesn’t make much sense to me. The one rich guy at the company has somebody disposing of chemical waste for him in the local graveyard- bang- the three dead girls come back to live, and hence the title Revenge of the Living Dead Girls.
I was to be honest, transfixed. By extreme film, I mean so in terms of the stiffness of the acting and the holes in the plotline as much as the violence involving sex organs that this film revels in. The zombie masks are also absolutely dreadful. This is some really trash cinema. I don’t know if I ever seen trash cinema quite at this level. Cannibal Holocaust is a very violent film with the killing of live animals in it, for example, but even there was a certain level of filmmaking at work. I’m still working on why this woman was having breakfast with her mother in lingerie.
