DATE. MATE. RE-ANIMATE.  The success of Stuart Gordon’s hit horror-comedy Re-Animator meant that a sequel was all but inevitable.  The resulting follow-up, Bride of Re-Animator – this time helmed by director Brian Yuzna (Society, Return of the Living Dead 3 and producer of the original Re-Animator) – would prove that there was a good deal more life left in the story of Dr. Herbert West and his ghoulish exploits.  It is eight years since the Miskatonic massacre.  Unperturbed by the disastrous outcome of his previous meddling with the dead, Dr. West (again played by Jeffrey Combs) continues his research into the phenomenon of re-animation; only this time, he plans to create life – starting with the heart of his young protégé Dan’s dearly deceased, Meg Halsey.  Surely nothing could go wrong?  With special effects master Screaming Mad George (the man behind the infamous “shunting” sequence in Society) on hand to contribute a host of characteristically weird and wonderful creations – including zombified bats and a one-eyed finger spider – Bride of Re-Animator is a more than worthy successor to Gordon’s original cult classic.

“The over-the-top acting that Gordon encouraged in Re-Animator is continued here with Combs particularly adept at the darkly comic throwaway line.” – Variety

“Isn’t coy about ladling out the goodies.” – Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
