    Milk, It's Not Just For Breakfast Anymore...

    In THE REVENGE OF THE LIVING DEAD GIRLS, the milk supply has been purposefully contaminated with toxic waste by an unscrupulous ne'er-do-well. We watch as various women drop dead before our eyes after imbibing the white poison. It's all part of a big cover-up!

    Oops!

    The same chemicals are eventually dumped in a cemetery. The very cemetery where said victims were interred! You guessed it, they quickly rise from their graves seeking vengeance!

    The fetid females go on the expected rampage, slaughtering those deemed responsible for their undead condition.

    While not the greatest zombie movie ever made, it does feature some rather disturbing scenes of violence perpetrated against the living...

    Rubbish French zombie flick!

    The title of this film alludes to it possibly being a sequel and the only film I could think of that it could be a sequel to is one of the two good Jean Rollin films, 'The Living Dead Girl'. This film actually has nothing to do with said film and has no relation to it beyond also being French; but Pierre B. Reinhard's film is at least bad enough to have been made by Jean Rollin. Like Rollin's other good film, The Grapes of Death, this one focuses on a food supply being contained, except instead of grapes it's milk. Three girls fall victim to the contaminated milk and end up dead. Then, the same company that infected the milk pours toxic waste on their graves and the trio returns from the dead for revenge. The plot is thoroughly amateurish and ridiculous and this is carried on throughout the whole film. The only real reason to see it is for the gore and sleaze and the film does feature plenty; culminating in scenes that feature eye-gouging and necrophilia. The zombie make-up is terrible and the make-up department either couldn't be bothered or was doing the effects badly on purpose. The film is slightly original on the zombie front, as the ones featured are your average lumbering corpses; but that's hardly enough to make up for the rest of the pitiful film. This one comes highly not recommended.

    The French go Italian horror style.

    Yes, this movie is a French production but it really feels and looks like one of those cheap Italian zombie flicks, from the '70's. Funny thing about this movie is that it actually got made during the late '80's, though you really wouldn't had guessed that. The movie looks so old fashioned and got put together in a clumsy way. If this all would had been intentional this would had actually probably been a good movie.

    The movie seemed so completely silly and random. It has a story you just won't care about and a bunch of characters you also can't care about at all. As a matter of fact the movie doesn't even have a main character or 'hero' in it. The movie keeps switching between a whole bunch of characters without making it apparent who is supposed to be the good guy here and they basically continue to introduce new characters for the entire movie. The movie also doesn't even turn into a zombie-flick until about halve way through the movie and when it does the movie of course only gets more silly.

    Don't understand quite why a 1987 French movie is trying to be like an '70's Italian horror zombie movie. It has exactly the same ingredients and not just in its look and feel. It features plenty of nudity and gore, which the fans will still get a bit of a kick out off.

    It's often the editing and directing approach that makes this movie a bad one to watch. It makes the movie at times embarrassingly bad to watch and unintentionally funny.

    But yes, it is also true that as far as the genre goes, this really isn't the worst movie to watch. Like mentioned earlier, fans o the genre will probably still get a kick out off it, also since they won't care much about it that the movie is lacking a real good story.

    Some more originality wouldn't had harmed the movie really. Not just with its story but also with its moments. If you have seen a couple of type of movies like this one, nothing in this movie should be too surprising. Still it needs to be said that some of the gore is being good at times, which shall especially please the genre buffs. The gore and killings within this movie are also really basically its only redeeming qualities. Make sure to watch the uncut version for this though.

    A bit of a clumsy made movie, that gets unintentionally bad and funny at times but the fans of the genre shall still most likely enjoy the movie for what it is.

    4/10

    France of the Dead!

    The French and movies about the living dead don't really seem to match together very well, do they? Remember "Zombie Lake"? Well, "Revenge of the Living Dead Girls" is almost as awful as that one, only it wasn't so fortunate to hoard a gigantic cult status and became pretty much forgotten over the years. Nevertheless, this is entertaining bad cinema in case all you're looking for is no-budget exploitation, sleaze and a handful of repulsive gore sequences. The film opens like standard zombie guff, with three recently deceased teenage girls coming back from the dead after toxic waste has been spilled on their tombs. The girls immediately go after the management of the local dairy factory since poisoned milk caused their deaths to begin with. Or at least so it seems, because the whole factory hangs together by fraud, conspiracies, scandals and bribery. There's a fairly ingenious plot-twist near the end but, until then, all we get to see is terrible acting, pointless red herrings and completely hilarious dialogues ("a little bit of necrophilia never hurt anyone"). The gory scenes, albeit amateurish, are effectively nauseating and offensive! Some woman gets her eyes poked out by high heels, another one poor soul gets a sword inserted in her vagina and THE most stomach-turning moment involves a totally random but incredibly bloody miscarriage in the shower. That was just too much! Proceed at your own risk...

    Breathtakingly awful

    A terrible ultra soft core porn / horror, exploitation film. Deserves attention because it is so bad. Thrill to the awful camera work! Be amazed at the end car stunt sequence which defies all logic! Be shocked at the sequence where an actor looks directly at the camera and laughs, flouting the rules of continuity! Love the wretched story line!

    • Trivia
      The 2006 DVD release from Retromedia claimed to be uncut, but was actually a censored print which only ran 74 minutes. The 2019 Blu-ray release from Severin runs 82 minutes, making it the first time the full uncut version has been released in the U.S.
    • Goofs
      At the end, when the car is on fire and the money is "blowing away", you can tell the money is actually being dropped on the burning car and the scene is being shown in reverse - watch the fire and smoke go back *into* the car instead of blowing *away* from it.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1995 UK Redemption video (released as "Revenge Of The Living Dead Girls") was cut by almost 3 minutes by the BBFC with heavy edits to scenes of gore and sexual violence including a woman's eye being gouged with a high heeled shoe, a man's penis being bitten off by a female zombie and the stabbing of a woman's vagina with a sword.
