The Return of the Living Dead

The Return of the Living Dead. Dan O’Bannon, 1984.
😿
Edition screened: Second Sight Blu-ray, released 2012. English language. Runtime approximately 91 minutes.

Summary: Beating of a reanimated lab specimen. 

Details: A taxidermy split dog is found on the floor at 17:15, reanimated at 17:20, beat with a crutch at 17:35, and the scene is over at 17:42. By Balthazar’s standard of ‘depictions that could be upsetting,’ the dog is fur-side-up during the beating, thus looking like a real fuzzy puppy, and it yelps in pain due to its reanimated state.
