Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Scott LeBrun Brian Yuzna continues this wild horror series with this cheaper entry filmed in Spain. While inevitably it doesn't reach the same level of lunatic heights as the original or even the first sequel, it comes up with enough outrageous mayhem to work as a generally enjoyable sequel. At least it comes up with one new wrinkle to add to the familiar plot.Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) has now been in prison for 14 years and experiments on the only living things he can find: rats, of course. A new doctor at the prison, Howard Phillips (Jason Barry) chooses this gig because he's intrigued by West and had a run in with one of Wests' creations as a kid. Things predictably get out of hand, even as West reveals his invention of a new solution that supposedly will restore rational behaviour to a re-animated subject.Combs is as perfect as ever playing West, still with that same air of superiority, and sneering at almost everybody around him, including the nefarious Warden Brando (Simon Andreu). Barry does a passable job at basically being a replacement for Bruce Abbotts' Dan Cain. Incredibly foxy blonde Elsa Pataky is highly watchable as ambitious journalist Laura Olney, a potential girlfriend for Howard.The makeup effects are reasonably effective, with good work by Screaming Mad George and others. There's an extremely infantile gag involving a part of the male anatomy and a rat (that extends into the closing credits). The prison setting allows Yuzna and company to build to a typically frantic climax involving a riot while our main characters have it out with each other. The "Psycho" inspired main music theme by Richard Band is still fun to listen to.If one is a fan of this series and isn't too demanding, they can have a pretty good, if not great, time with "Beyond Re-Animator". It's the least of the three movies, but still offers a fair amount of entertainment.Seven out of 10.

atinder I have just seen Beyond Re-Animator (2003) For the first timeI loved the first, seen it a few times, I only saw the second one , a few week ago, as I could get into that movie , i found some of the nasty gory scenes were the only thing that I can really remember, near the end of the movie. The rest of the movie very forgettable (I need re-watch this again).This movie as a great start and I was already into the movie, the movie does not take time to get going and the build up to the gory final scenes.I was little disappointing that is not gory as the second movie but this as some really decent gory scenes, in the last 20mins of the movie. I was hoping for really nasty, gory bloody, soaking deaths scene as this was the 3rd movie in series, i thought they would step it up notch as Bride as some nasty grossness in there final scene. This movie did have some but nothing compare to sequel before however I found this less gory but more intruding. I gave first 8, not rated second yet! but i give this movie 6 out of 10.

BA_Harrison As a child, Howard Philips witnesses the death of his sister at the hands of a reanimated corpse, the grisly result of one of mad genius Herbert West's crazy experiments. Thirteen years later, Howard (Jason Barry), now a brilliant young doctor, takes up residency at the Arkham Penitentiary where West (Jeffrey Combs) is incarcerated, in the hope that he can convince the scientist to reveal the secret behind his reagent and use it to help mankind.West, who has been carrying out experiments inside his prison cell using makeshift equipment, is only too happy to help: with proper lab facilities at his disposal, he can continue work on his new discovery—nano-plasm, the energy present in all living creatures—which he believes will stabilise his otherwise violent test subjects. West's ideas are clearly a little flaky (in order for him to harvest the nano-plasm needed to restore a life, someone has to die), but then so is he, and once again, his experiments only lead to chaos and carnage ('You were wrong!' screams an angry Howard at West as he realises the true horror of their actions; 'It was a THEORY' replies the scientist dryly).Beyond Re-animator is the first of the series to be produced under Brian Yuzna's Spanish production label Fantastic Factory, and as such, it suffers from a slightly less polished look and feel to its predecessors (as well as a supporting cast who all bear slight traces of a Spanish accent). Thankfully, Yuzna's sense of humour is just as dark and demented as before and the result is another hugely enjoyable exercise in outrageous splatter, deviancy, and total lunacy.Admittedly, after the excellent opening scene, the film takes a while to get up to speed again, but once Yuzna and his talented team of effects experts hit their stride, there's simply no stopping the madness: there's a nasty warden who, after being killed and injected with rat nano-plasm, becomes a half rodent/half human zombie who wants to use West's glowing green formula to prolong the agony of execution for those on death row; a drug addict explodes after overdosing on reagent; a prisoner's upper torso wanders around on its hands during the films crazy closing riot scene; the prison's sexy nurse (Bárbara Elorrieta) has her dress torn off by a zombie that proceeds to savage her naked breast; Howard's hot reporter girlfriend Laura (the incredibly gorgeous Elsa Pataky) is transformed into a schizophrenic zombie dominatrix clad in a tight corset, black stockings, suspenders, and stiletto heels; and a rat makes off with the warden's severed penis.Oh, and be sure to continue watching during the end credits for what is possibly the film's funniest gag (depending on how warped your sense of humour is, of course).

Witchfinder General 666 Stuart Gordon's satirical Horror masterpiece "Re-Animator" of 1985 is a personal favorite of mine, and Brian Yuzna's 1990 sequel "Bride Of Re-Animator" was a sequel as gory, hilarious and great as one could possibly hope. While Yuzna's second sequel, "Beyond Re-Animator" does, in my opinion, not quite reach the quality of its predecessor, it is nonetheless a gory, funny and outrageously entertaining film that no Horror fan should miss. Our favorite obsessed scientist Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) has been serving the last thirteen years in prison, which is ruled by a mean and sadistic warden (Simón Andreu). West has since been working in the prison's medical station, and secretly experiments on rats. The young Dr. Howard Phillips (Jason Barry)then begins to work as the prison doctor, and he shows great interest in West's work... Once again the film is full of extreme gore and macabre humor. Jeffrey Combs is once again great as Dr. West. The guy is a great actor, and he has played many other memorable roles, but Herbert West was the role he was born to play. Someone other than Combs to play the role is simply not imaginable. Jason Barry is also good as the young doctor (basically a replacement for Dan Caine played by Bruce Abbott). David Gale (who died in 1991) is severely missed as the evil Dr. Carl Hill, but Simón Andreu is a very good replacement as the scumbag character. The stunningly beautiful Elsa Pataky is very welcome as the new female character, the sexy and ambitious journalist Laura. The prison setting is, in my opinion, not quite as cool as the settings in the predecessors (simply because it is more limited), but they made the best out of it. While sequels to masterpieces often tend to disappoint, the opposite is the case with the "Re-Animator" sequels, probably because they kept the style and humor of the original. The great score, the gore, the humor, and, above all, the wonderfully obsessed Dr. West. I am already looking forward to "House Of Re-Animator" which is due in 2010, and for which Stuart Gordon will return in the director's chair. "Beyond Re-Animator" is a must-see for all my fellow Herbert West fans, and a treat for every Horror fan. Do not miss!
