Movie Reviews of Bride of Re-Animator
Movie Review: Every bit as good as the original!
Summary: 5 Stars
Where to even begin with this one...Basically take everything that you loved about the original Reanimator, that is Herbert West, the gore, and the experimentations on corpses, and multiply it by a hundred! Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott reprise their roles as Dr. Herbert West and Dr. Dan Cain respectively in this sequel that manages to be even more over the top than it's predacessor, Bride of Reanimator. The main focus of this one, as established in the opening scene, is that the duo has moved past reanimating dead subjects and are now interested in creating new life altogether.
Since creating new life has become as possibility for Herbert, he decides to put together a woman with the deceased Meg's heart, which Dan promptly agrees to with Meg having been his girlfriend when she was alive. The film seems to be divided up amongst three sub plots: The first involving Herbert harvesting lady parts from the hospital for their reanimated woman. The second involves Dr. Hill's decapitated head returning to life and plotting his revenge on Herbert, and the third involves a persistent detective that is dead set on busting Herbert for the stolen body parts as well as the whole "Miskatonic Massacre" (the events of the previous film). At the climax, these sub plots finally come together in an absurdly gory and campy conclusion that I'd be best off not even trying to describe here, (It incorporates a severed head with bat wings to give you an idea).
Bride of Reanimator features loads of of gore effects including everything from good old fashioned makeup, to stop motion effects, and even a bit of CGI (Which isn't too bad for 1989 either!). Combs and Abbott give performances just as memorable if not more so than the first one here, although the entire cast is phenomenal for the type of movie we're dealing with here. The dark comedy is much more apparent this time around giving the film a lighter and more comical mood than the original despite the fact that it's much gorier. Once again all the elements of Reanimator are here and better than ever, even that nifty theme song is reprised sans the cheesy 80' drums, which makes it even better in my opinion. Overall if you're a fan of gore and campy horror, Bride of Reanimator is essential viewing, I couldn't recommend it more.
Summary of Bride of Re-Animator
The mad Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) the tormented Dr. Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and the beheaded Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) return in this terrifying sequel to Re-Animator the most deliriously outrageous horror movie of the decade. It's been eight months since the Miskatonic Massacre stained the halls with blood-and Dr. West and Dr. Cain's experiments have taken a bizarre turn. Now they have gone beyond re-animating the dead...into the realm of creating new life. The legs of a hooker and the womb of a virgin are joined to the heart of Dr. Cain's dead girlfriend-and the bride is unleashed upon her mate in a climax of sensual horror.
