During his... The third RE-ANIMATOR film finds Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) getting out of jail after fourteen years for inadvertently killing a young girl as a result of one of his experiments. During his time on the inside, West continued to perfect his methods on rats. When a young doctor who is aware of West's discoveries, becomes the new prison M.D., he asks West to help him on a project he is working on.

Director Brian Yuzna brings back copious amounts of the pitch black comedy and bright red splatter that fans of the series have come to expect. [More]

This director's work has varied from the sublime ("The Dentist") to the awful ("Faust"). This lies somewhere in between, more toward the good than the bad.

Combs is still cool but the suroundings don't do it for me.

On the bright side, Yuzna brings back special effects maestro Screaming Mad George.

[Director Brian] Yuzna is clearly having a lot of fun with this admittedly absurd material, and makes the smart decision of having his actors play things straight.

A tired retread that doesn't maximize on the novelty of its prison setting.

A follow-up that pays homage to its lineage while marking a little new territory of its own.
