Customer Reviews of Bride of Re-Animator

Enjoyable follow-up to a cult classic!
After the original, Herbert West ( Jeffery Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot)have returned from medical miltary duty in South America as they return back home as they have perfected their re-agent formula to continue experimentint. But Herbert however gets an idea to collect body parts especially the heart of Cain's old girlfriend "Meg" to create the perfect re-animated woman, however Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) has been re-animated back to life by accident as he still has powers to control zombies and want revenge for what West did to him. <

>Not as great as the 1985 cult horror comedy masterpiece "Re-Animator" but really enjoyable! the acting is kind of average but there's nice splatter in this movie including a variety of odd re-animated critters like a finger creature with a human eye attached done by Screaming Mad George, David Allen (Puppet Master, Q The Winged Serpant and Young Sherlock Holmes). Like the original movie this has dark humor to propell along with gruesomeness, all in all is that it's not a bad follow-up but still worth watching. <

>This DVD is pratically bareboned with a alright transfer with no trailer! but that's ok, if you enjoyed the original then you'll probably like this one as well.

Til Death Do Us Part!
Having mysteriously survived the slaughterhouse finale of Re-Animator, mad scientist Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs, in his definitive role) is continuing his experiments in re- animating the dead. Now he and his reluctant partner Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) are bringing life not just to the recently deceased, but to assemblages of body parts. The big project becomes the cobbling together of a woman, based around the heart of Meg, Dan's lost love. Sloppy in construction, and with some long dead pauses between lines of dialogue where the timing should be lightning fast, this is still a lot of gruesome fun, with a number of truly hilarious moments and quotable lines. A worthy follow-up to the original. <

>The 2.0 stereo is rather uninspiring. There are some surround sound effects, but nowhere near enough (you know you're in trouble when virtually nothing happens with the constant shelling and explosions of the opening scene). The logo for now-defunct Vestron Video that appears at the beginning of the film doesn't bode well, suggesting as it does a VHS transfer. The picture is fullscreen as well, which is a real disappointment, especially since the 1999 DVD release was widescreen. <

>A fun film, but a cruelly disappointing release, as cheap and basic as the original release was deluxe.

"You made me!!"
A little time has passed and Miskatonic University has returned to a semblance of normalcy. Somehow or other Doctors Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) are back practicing medicine and mayhem in the halls of the college hospital. Megan Halsey, Cain's love from the first re-animator file lies dying and Cain is desperate to save her life - in a normal fashion. West, of course, has no such compunctions. He's down in their basement lab working on a whole new approach for gluing bits together (if you watch carefully, this film is rife with Frankenstein references). <
> <
>The initial phases of the film are predictable, and every bit as hokey as the first, classic film. West scavenges parts where he may and glues them together in strange combinations. Lt. Chapham (Claude Jones) stalks the two medicos, determined to expose them for the fiends that drove his wife insane. And Dr. Graves (Mel Stewart) the coroner manages to revitalize Dr. Carl Hill's (David Gale) head and fix it up so that it can fly like a bat. In the midst of all this madness, Francesca Danelli (Fabiana Udenio) struts about being beautiful and partially undressed. Just like old times. <
> <
>But suddenly the film takes a deeper turn during the frantic final sequences. Megan's head is used to complete Dr. Hill's eerie bride, and all the comedy replays the same serious questions that Mary Shelley's story raised a long time before. Is challenging the divine power of creation within man's capacity? What does the creator owe to one brought into existence. West refers to his creations as useless bits of tissue, but it is clear that they are not. The mixture of ethics and frantic humor is surprisingly engaging, and this film is almost as good as Re-animator. Take a look if you're in the mood for something strange.
