* DeconstructiveParody: ''Return'' was the deconstructive parody of the zombie movie. The main characters are a gang of punks who revel in nihilism and seem to be the kind of characters who would thrive in an apocalyptic scenario. That is until a zombie plague breaks out, and they are just as defenseless as everybody else. The movie also points out the reality of how unstoppable an ''undead'' menace would actually be. Burt and Ernie try to stop a zombie by [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain removing its head]], but the result is just a headless zombie chasing them. Even completely [[BurnTheUndead incinerating its body in a furnace]] causes the fumes to rain down on a graveyard and resurrect every corpse inside it. The logic of a zombie's very existence means that there shouldn't be an easy way to "kill them" anyway like in other zombie fiction.

** Good God, the zombies alone take screaming to a whole new level compared to the infected people in Film/TwentyEightWeeksLater and Film/TwentyEightDaysLater. The paramedics literally haul ass to the van when they hear the zombies actually scream. Interestingly, the screaming the zombies do is what makes the film terrifying.

** Also at the beginning of the film when the Trioxin is released, Frank and Freddy wake up and notice that the body in the tank (who ultimately becomes Tarman) has vanished. They briefly question what happened to it before deducing that it melted. It certainly did, but it's far from gone.
