 Mad Scientists

 

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) 

Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) are back, not just to re-animate the dead, but to create new life.  As if there weren't enough problems inherent in that, the evil Dr. Hill (David Gale) is also back, along with a pack of zombies.

Quick Review: How did these boys get jobs at the hospital?  Just how many deaths do you have to cause in Arkum to mess up your resume?

Bride of Re-Animator isn't as good as the first, but it has the same feeling, the same dark humor.  It owes as much to Bride of Frankenstein as it does to Re-Animator,  and that's pretty good parentage.  Jeffrey Combs is once again the standout followed by some wonderful monsters (four fingers, a thumb, and an eye wired together would make a pretty good pet).
