Beyond Re-animator


More of the same yet somehow not as good.

This movie had a bigger budget than the first one (I assume based on his production quality) but it was slightly worse than the original.  There was a mystique about the first movie that added to its aura of greatness.  By now, we know the plot, even if it has changed locations and principles (except for Jeff Combs, the Re-Animator).  The first movie was just done better.  This installment, numeral 3, has worse makeup, worse acting, more boobs (of course it does), some cock (I'd say yay but wait till you see it) and an even worse plot, not to mention the excitement of Combs' performance of Dr. West didn't excite me like it did the first time (he's still the only thing this movie has going for it, besides the blood.)  The movie culminates in a frenzy of blood and guts so we the fans get our extended money shot, but even the blood seemed sedate compared to the original and it shouldn't since these guys had money for green screens.  The movie was still enjoyable but it just seemed a little off.      
PS--  This movie deserves to be rented JUST for the scene that shows during the closing credits.  I've never seen anything like it committed to film.  It's crazy cheesey but amazingly awsome.
