Movie Reviews of Beyond Re-Animator

Movie Review: Remarkably inferior to the rest of the series
Summary: 2 Stars

Re-Animator, classic. Bride of Re-Animator, just as good in my book. Beyond Re-Animator...What happened? This very belated follow up to Bride of Re-Animator completely fails to maintain the quality of its predacessors and evokes the feel of a straight-to-video or made for television movie. Surprisingly Brian Yuzna (who produced the original and directed Bride) gave us this mess. It would have been a bit more understandable had the series fallen into the hands of someone not previously affiliated with the name, but this isn't the case. Granted the budget for these was never very high, but here it seems too low to even keep the movie afloat.

Basically ignoring the rather conclusive events witnessed at the end of Bride, Herbert West ends up in prison for his heinous experiments with reanimating the dead. Continuing his work on rats in his cell, a new prison physician comes along and is in possession of Herbert's reanimation formula from a run in they had years before. Mayhem within the prison ensues when Herbert and his new accomplice begin experimenting with the dead once again...Honestly that's about all I could get out of this plot wise. I know the story begins to center around a female love interest and a malicious prison warden, but it quickly becomes incoherent, confusing, and nonsensical. Either the plot is non-existent, or if it is existent let that be a testament to how interested it kept me.

Maybe the problem was the budget, maybe it was because this was made fourteen years after the last installment, maybe both, the point is that this is not very good at all. It's worth mentioning that Jeffrey Combs was still phenomenol as Herbert West, there is no substitute. There were a few moments of halfway decent gore as well, but overall this was a tough one to get through. The conclusion leaves enough open ends to warrant another sequel, but at this rate I'm questioning whether or not this is a good thing. Recommended for hardcore fans of Re-Animator, and even then approach with caution.
