Movie Review: Beyond Re-Animator
Summary: 3 Stars
Dr. Herbert West has been imprisoned for his crimes against humanity, where he continues with his secret experiments on the inmates with the help of a prison doctor that shares his morbid curiosities. It isn't long before things get out of hand and heads begin to roll! Despite over a decade of separation and the departure of both Bruce Abbott and David Gale from the series, BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR does manage to garner some interest, but it is a far cry from Gordon's original. Jeffrey Combs feels bored with the role at this point, and while he is the one actor able to carry the film, only a shadow of the smarmy attitude and manic behavior that dressed his earlier performances remains. Director Brian Yuzna also tries to make the most out of the simple plot in a desperate attempt to recapture the same dark tone and sharp wit from before. Unfortunately, the uninspired writing and dialog lack both brains and heart. Where the film does deliver is in the gore department thanks to the special FX crew at Screaming Mad George, who bring back plenty of the gruesome make-up designs that have become synonymous with the series. BEYOND is not the shot of re-agent that most fans were hoping for, but it is a bloody escape that is more enjoyable than other late entries in film franchises like RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

Movie Review: Good.. but.. where's the gore ?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good movie in the good old 80's horror style with some hilarious episodes. It fits well to the two earlier Re-animator movies. But there's a big disadvantage that got it to loose two stars in my opinion. Either it is cut (god damn, are they really still cutting humour horror movies ? Greater horror !) or the great Brian Yuzna just put in less gore this time. Either case, this type of movies demands both much humour and much gore ! Brain Dead / Dead Alive is released uncut without problems. What's the f----n problem in doing the same with this movie ? Anyway, if you like re-animator 1 & 2 you must buy Beyond Re-animator and I thank Brian Y for doing it, but I sincerely hope that it will be released uncut very soon. Brian, we're waiting for part 4 already !Movie Review: The Doctor Is In(sane)...
Summary: 3 Stars
Jeffrey Combs returns once more as Dr. Herbert West, mad scientist and iconic miscreant! This time he's operating from behind bars, using his nefarious expertise to capture the life-force from the prison's rodent population. Of course, things just wouldn't be right if he didn't start re-animating human corpses as well! With the help of the new prison doc, West begins his work on the inmates and the sadistic warden. A nosey (and beautiful) gal reporter snoops about until her curiosity gets her killed. Then, it's Dr. West to the rescue! Lots of gushy gore, drool, and minor nekkidness. Watch for the severed, re-animated male member vs. the zombie rat during the end credits! Eeegads!...Movie Review: Pretty Good, but Nothing Extraordinary
Summary: 3 Stars
Being a big Re-Animator fan, when I first found out about the movie I was rather excited. When I went over to my local best buy, I was able to locate this movie and got home right away so I could watch this movie. After viewing it, I thought it was ok, but was let down a little. It didn't have the same shock and atmosphere of the two earlier ones. Probably my biggest complaint was the character development. You didn't really care what happened to the characters (except West) because they didn't give you enough time to know them . Plus I'd like to have an unrated version available. Perhaps that would help fill in the holes.Movie Review: Same ingredients for the same recipe ! A good sequel !

It's back ! And if you liked the 2 first movies, go for this 3rd one, I don't think you will be disappointed. You know the ingedients..Funny and gore. The SFX are signed by Screaming Mad George as usual and Yuzna is the director for the Fantastic Factory(DAGON rules). I was not disappointed at all. Jeffrey Combs is still the same MAD DOCTOR and ready as ever to raise the dead. The spannish actors are quite bad and you don't know why Dr West is in a jail in Spain but who cares ! Or maybe they try to let us believe we are in USA but well, there is a Police car in a scene not very US style ;) Anyway It's a cool sequel.
