Beyond Re-Animator Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Smoreni Zmaj Sometimes sequels are better than original. In my opinion, this one is the best in franchise. Story continues in same manner, but this movie is put together more seriously than it's two prequels. I really enjoyed this very much.7/10
Scarecrow-88 Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) just can't stop trying to bring the dead back to life using his neon green experimental serum, with a corpse (without its mouth) attacking the sister of a boy in their kitchen. West is arrested and sent away to a nasty warden's (Simón Andreu) prison, somewhat prevented from continuing his experiments. He has developed a type of "nanoplasm" which might can correct the deranged reactions of the green serum on humans after they die…too bad this nanoplasm, like the green liquid, has certain "side effects". Nanoplasm must be "extracted" through electrocution from one life form and then transplanted to another…what this does is transfer the actual presence of the one into the other. The boy who witnessed his daughter's death has grown into a doctor (Jason Barry, top five of his class) and received a post at the very prison West is interred. He wants to work with West, still holding onto a vial of his magic juice which begins a series of loony events that will lead to crazed corpses biting tits, a half-torso rat-loving jailbird swinging around on a rope, a bald-headed, Catholic-guilt, steel-toothed heart attack victim trying to swallow a giant rat, rat energy transplanted into the warden which causes him to react like a rodent (!), an addict who injects the green fluid and literally bursts at the seams, West literally electrocuting a zombie in the chair (!), a strangled victim of the warden (Elsa Pataky, portraying a reporter looking for a story inside the "death house") brought back to life and then unfortunately given nanoplasm culled from the very man who killed her, among other crazy shenanigans in this special effects extravaganza. You literally see the warden's "lifeforce" coursing through Pataky as she tries to fight him away, unsuccessfully. Severed heads, penis and eyeballs are active participants, hanging prisoners kicking their feet as the sadistic warden wants to continue to punish them even after death (!), plenty of warden wielding his silver-tipped cane, lots of Pataky which is never a bad thing, and a riot turning convicts on guards. The religious nut (Nico Baixas) is a hoot, seemingly innocent yet encumbered with an insatiable appetite thanks to his resurrection; his reaching to the sky as the light emerges with SWAT blasting away sends him off with a bang. Combs is in fine form, still arrogant and brilliant as West, too absorbed in seeing that his work escapes failure, with plenty of sacrificial lambs proving otherwise. At least this film allows him to continue his work, as previous films seemed to indicate his demise. Lots of busy noise and in pure Brian Yuzna style, a real flair for gonzo gory carnage. Yuzna is an acquired taste, but he was always diving head first into the craziest of material, working in Spain at this point in his career. Andreu, as the main antagonist, is a real heel both alive and dead...in this series, although West is never technically a hero, he often is by default celebrated just because there is someone opposite him *even worse*.
Ben Larson Young Howard (Tommy Dean Musset) loses his sister (Bárbara Elorrieta) to a zombie (Ángel Plana) and becomes a doctor (Jason Barry) to gain access to the man (Jeffrey Combs) who can bring her back to life.The special effects are outstanding, and the sexual tension with Laura (Elsa Pataky), an investigative reporter is a driving force in the movie. Of course, she only teases us with her voluptuousness. We have to rely on nurse Vanessa (Raquel Gribler) to give us the money shot before her tit is bitten off. The slimy warden, played by Simón Andreu, is brilliant. There are plenty of other interesting characters in the prison where Dr. West (Combs) is incarcerated. Things get downright gruesome, and wildly hilarious, after a prison riot and make sure you stay through the credits.
Miguel van der Wijst (mfvanderwijst) I am a big fan of horror movies and actually made a mistake when I bought this movie second hand. I didn't check the title that well and was convinced I was buying the original. My disappointed was gone very soon. I admit that the acting is horrendous but strangely this just gives the movie more of it's charm. Elsa Pataky is stunning in her role and the gore in this movie is just so over the top it makes you smile while watching horrible things happen to people. All in all without spoiling anything I can encourage everyone to watch this movie. This could become a genuine cult classic. I agree that this term is used way to much, but if you liked Braindead by Peter Jackson you will adore this movie. What I kept wondering is how they got up with the scene when the credits are rolling...that was just amazingly funny stuff.
