"How can you kill something that's already dead?", The Return of the Living Dead poses that question. In a sense it's like a spoof of night of the living dead, but not really. It's in the genre of dark comedy or black comedy, it has a girl dancing naked on a tombstone and it's the movie that started the concept of zombie eating brains. A cult classic.

If your into movies like the hunger games, but are more hungry for more violence and blood, you should definitely watch battle royale. Battle royale is banned in several countries, which means you should definitely watch it. It is completely Japanese, either watch with subtitles (English) or manage with English dubbing.
