Movie Reviews of Beyond Re-Animator
Movie Review: Great sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie takes place 13 years after "Bride of Re-animator". The movie starts with a little boy's big sister being killed by one of West his re-animated corpses. West is arrested and we move on 13 years later. He is still experimenting in prison, but of course he doesn't have the necessary ingredients to make his famous green serum that re-animates the dead. In comes Dr. Howard Philips(the same person who's sister was killed,13 years ago) and he still happens to have the injection needle full with the green serum which he found 13 years ago, after West was arrested. West of course takes this opportunity to start experimenting anew. Howard becomes his new assistent. Those 13 years, West has been working on extracting the lifeforce out of several rats, and thinks he might have found the solution to stabilize the corpses after they have been re-animated(after which they always become very aggresive and lose almost all intelligence) with his special serum. Does it work? Yes and no... The movie starts slowly(but is never boring), but builds up to a terrific climax. I really enjoyed this one. I won't say much about the rest of the movie because I don't want to spoil all of the gory fun. Although not as good as the first re-animator, this is still an excellent sequel. Definitely worthy of adding to your DVD collection, especially if you're a fan of these movies.Movie Review: Phhhffft...its good!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Reading some of these reviews, I was aghast. Let us not overlook, good people, the fact that a low budget, Spanish film co. named 'Fantastic factory" had to step in and bankroll this project before it could see the light of day. Normally, these are circumstances that spell dire misfortune for any film. However, in the case of this film, it was a blessing. Look, this is the third (and long overdue, I might add ) chapter of a series that was begun in 1985. The gore and the insanity are very much intact in this installment, and the last half hour equals anything the original film had to offer. Yes,as a total and complete fan I'll be the very first to admit that the original "Re-animator" is still the best, but after the dissapointing "Bride of Reanimator", this movie is a breath of fresh air. Jeffrey Combs is terrific, and the arcane situations and visuals more than make up for the fact that the supporting actors are not that talented. Overall, as these films go, this chapter deserves its kudos for being a legitimate, enjoyable coda to a series that has redefined horror for many fans. I tip my hat to all involved!!!Movie Review: Good Movie some major holes....
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie had a very captivating plot and was overall a pleasure to view, however in the plot there were some pretty major holes and some of the acting was downright dreadful.The plot is simple. A new doctor comes to work at the hospital where Dr. West is incarcerated. Howard the new doctor, and probably a new actor because his acting was downright dreadful and at times painful to watch (His reaction after the girl that he likes dies is just so fake); Dr. West and Howard then set up the lab again and chaos and misfortune ensues.
The gore is good. The reasons for the gore are not always good however. For example when Laura visits the one ressurected patient she walks up close and what not, knowing that he is dangerous. It just didn't make any sense. Another funny thing was that the nurse wore the old fashioned skirt, the kind you could rip off with a strong pull. Right...
However the violence was good and entertaining. The movie got straight to the point and never got off. From the very beginning there was murder, mayhem and chaos.
Recommended to all those that are not too worried about plot holes.
Movie Review: Move your dead bones, bones, bones...re-animate your feet...
Summary: 4 Stars
Beyond Re-animater(2003) does'nt reach the classic status of the first two films in the series, but it's still a fun watch and worth the time of Re-animater fans. It definitley beats the heck out of the slew of horror remakes and sequels coming out of Hollywood that we've been subjected to in this decade. The plot pretty much follows the same path as the first two films, but this one takes place in a prison after Herbert West has been jailed after the Miscatonic Massacre instead os a hospital or cemetary which kinda takes a little of the atmosphere out of it. It does have flaws and sometimes the acting is a little wooden (with the exception of Jeff Combs), but like all Re-animater film's it's filled with interseting and gory special effects, nudity, more gore, and perverted jokes, so those minor complaints are forgiven. Recommended if you don't mind a little comedy in your horror.
*The music video on this disc is the most ridiculously hilarious thing I've ever seen in my life (see title^^), only Lions Gate would inlude such a thing as a special feature. Worth the price alone just for the laughs.
Movie Review: THE WILD WILD WEST
Summary: 4 Stars
Jeffrey Combs is back as the brilliantly demented Dr. Herbert West in this preposterously over the top, gore filled entry in the Re-animator saga. This one is set in a prison where West has been incarcerated. The new doctor just happens to be a young boy who witnessed one of West's mutations kill his sister. Now he feels he wants to work with West in order to bring back the dead. Of course, the results are just as deadly and the young doctor's new journalist girlfriend joins the reanimated, as do many of the prisoners and the lecherous warden himself. It's all outlandishly sick, but it has a lot of energy, more gore than the first movie, and its perverse nature is fitting for this series. Combs is cooly efficient again, as for the rest of the cast, oops...but hey the gore is the star and director Brian Yuzna (Rottweiler) knows how to make it work. Quite a trip.
