It's a bit weird to see Herbert West attempting to give life to separate body parts here when in the first film he couldn't even manage to re-animate whole corpses without turning them into maniacal zombies, but it does allow scope for this film to explore a slightly different angle from the first whilst still retaining the feel of the original. The first half of the film is rather slow and boring, with only West's bizarre experiments in joining together odd combinations of body parts providing any entertainment. The ending is fantastic however, with a climax that rivals the ending of the first film for sheer over the top insanity, as West and eternal unwilling sidekick Dan Cain find themselves under siege from the now bat-winged head of Doctor Hill, his re-animated zombies (including a hilarious zombie cop who bursts in holding his badge as though making an arrest), the bricked-up earlier failed experiments of West and of course the 'bride of re-animator' herself...
Inevitably it's inferior to the original movie, but the combination of returning old favourite characters with some new improved gore effects means this will provide some entertainment for fans of the first film. Nowhere near as bad as it's reputation, Bride of Re-Animator is a fair stab at a very difficult sequel.
This is a good fun film, with plenty of blood and guts. It would certainly help if you had seen the first film so the film makes more sense to you.
Not so much a retread sequel but the unqualified Drs. are still trying to re-animate dead bodies, to beat death, for entirely different reasons.
Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbet West steals the show, once again, with this performance, he effortlessly slips into the role. He is sarcastic, devious and twisted, but not at all evil!
It's gory with a simple plot. Read more
