Beyond Re-Animator - DVD

Overall a nice film. Plenty of weird and grotesqueness though certain elements within the short stories that make up the original "Herbert West : Reanimator" still haven't been used. (Like that vat of ever living and growing reptile tissue over a Bunsen burner bubbling and moving and used by West to preserve certain tissues and organs for later use. He also created a means to indefinitely preserve a person still alive for at least 2 weeks. Plenty of fodder to use for any more movies.) Some have stated that West's discovery of what essentially is the soul in a field of electrons contradicts his materialism as it is in the short stories of Lovecraft. It does but West is a scientist first and this fills a void he had in his biological reanimations and it is also science such as it is in the film. The prison becomes a surreal place of horror as the demented warden uses the serum on prisoners as the end comes. I like it that we see Dr. West escape alive without any ambiguity. The effects are excellent and if feels like it was filmed in the USA, not in Spain. I thirst for more Jeffery Combs!

Being the third installment of the Re-Animator series, one would think this would either lack or not be as great as the first. Scary enough I thought it was better than the original, had better gore, and was a lot funnier. The movie had a lot of action, some nudity, alot of blood and some very well done humor, just like the rest. Being what it is, the movie did lack logic, but hey-- it's Beyond Re-Animator. I particularly did not like the whole "transferring of souls" thing, it did give the franchise an ability to go a bit longer, and int he end end added alot of comedy-- particularly injecting a rat's soul into the warden. After buying this I waited a long time to watch it, I really did not like Bride Of Re-Animator at all, and I figured this would be much worse. After the first 10-15 minutes of slowness the movie quickly picked up and was a riot until the very end. I really enjoyed it a lot, Jeffrey Combs, again does a great job as Herbert. His performance in Beyond Re-Animator reminds me alot of Bruce Campbell's Ash from The Evil Dead. From exploding bodies, decapitated heads, entrails, half-men half-rat hybrids, half bodies and cut-off penises the gore effects were great, I know I keep repeating that, but it's true. A must see!

Jeffery Combs was born to play a mad scientist. Possibly the best of the later day Frankenstein wanna-bees , his single minded totally sociopathic doctor has become his signature role. By far he is the best special effect in the entire trilogy. The R rateing is not to be taken lightly. But, I suspect if you have seen the previous films in this set, you have figured that out. The film itself looks like it suffers from a lack of funds somehow. Maybe it's just because the others were so well done. But when it come to this kind of story and character, the temptation to go back for more is irresistible. Obviously it was for the producers. It is for the audience as well. This is the third in the series. So do not start here. Have fun!

First, if you haven't seen /Re-Animator/, you really missed something. It has an energy few films, particularly Lovecraft films, possess. The actual sequel, /Bride of Re-Animator/, was, to my taste too much like /The Bride of Frankenstein/. This is the third film in the series. Dr West is arrested at the start, and the film takes place in a maximum-security prison. And its energy level is only exceeded by the original, if by that. Basically, Dr West recreates his serum, adds a new factor, starts experimenting and, in the meantime, a prison riot starts. Which leads to a lot of action, fighting, and gore. It may or may not have any elements of Lovecraft's stories in it, but it definitely captures the main character and continues his career!

The Re-Animator films have never been ones that are grounded in good taste, but still the quality of the story in HP Lovecraft has been a great touchstone. Jeffrey Combs has essentially been the face of Herbert West, and Stuart Gordon has been the directorial heart. Combs has read the HPL stories on audiobooks, so I presume he knows the material well. The other important factor is that Combs has the acting skill to convey West to and for the audience. Whilst the film directed by Yuzna is mostly good, it is not up to Gordon's par, since Yuzna specifically goes outside of the HPL universe with only Herbert West as the anchor. Combs delivers West as per usual. The only other big plus is the practical FX by screaming mad George. The extras are revealing but in a not so great way. It is worth a watch for the Re-Animator fans , but the finesse Gordon delivered is lost by Yuzna. The mostly spanish crew deliver a great body of material for a good director to work with, unfortunately Yuzna is at the helm, and the so-called humour is ham-fisted when not delivered by Combs. I can only look forward to the Original films re-worked forspecial editions.5 Stars for Combs, the work by Yuzna barely goes above 3.Also, there is a shot in the first ten minutes that looks like it was taken out of FRIGHTENERS, beat for beat, it was quite a surprise to see.

Great movie for the collection! Still came with the slip.

Beyond RE-ANIMATOR is an excellent movie, the plot is good, the actors are very good, the atmosphere of the film is claustrophobic, and the masterful performance of Jeffrey Combs, is magnificent. I recommend this movie so that they buy it and see it, they will not regret i I declare myself a fan of the Re-Animator, I've followed the whole saga and all are good.

I expected to receive this with signs of wear on the case and disc, but surprisingly it had neither. Other than a few fingerprints on the face of the disc itself, you'd never know this DVD had ever seen use. I received it way ahead of the estimated delivery date and I'm not disappointed at all. I would absolutely buy from this seller again.

Superbe édition collector

Terzo e,per ora, ultimo film della serie. Il film è folle e divertente come ci si aspetta. Il DVD è ben fatto ottima edizione audio/video con quasi un ora di extra. Se avete i primi due è acquisto obbligato(dato anche il basso prezzo). Ne vale la pena. Spedizione sempre perfetta.

PLOT... Finally being held accountable for his catastrophic experiments in re-animating the dead, Dr Herbert West finds himself incarcerated at a maximum security penitentiary. With the arrival of a new prison doctor who happens to be an enthusiastic student of West's work, the medical deviant is afforded the opportunity to resume his grisly studies, this time on his fellow inmates, with predictably hair-raising results. This is the third movie in the series, just as bonkers as the others if not more, Dr West up to more crazy experiments injecting his illuminous serum into the dead with disastrous and hilarious consequences. This movie is an absolute must for horror fans especially of this great series of movies. The effects as usual look fantastic, plenty of gross-out practical gore and blood, top cast including the very eccentric Jeffrey Combs who is a terrific horror star. and Elsa Pataky (Fast and furious 5,6,7,8) and directed by horror master Brian Yuzna (Return of the Living Dead 3, Re-Animator 2, Progeny) great music score too with plenty use of the classic theme, this is a must pick up horror to watch is you love plenty blood and black comedy gross-out moments too. The new Arrow films release is brilliant. Great HD picture on the Blu-ray (Arrow Films) Features are plentiful as usual with lots of great interviews and featurettes and a commentary. plus lots more. Region B, Running time 96mins, 2003/2021. Language English, Subtitles English. Make sure you get an order in early for the limited booklet and very nice slipcase with a nice smooth texture to it plus slight embossing around the text and image. reversible sleeve too.
