Review – Beyond Re-Animator

And at this point beyond my ability to sit through any more Re-Animator movies. Herbert West, now behind bars for his various and sundry crimes, is able to revive his “research” thanks to the assistance of the new prison physician, Dr. Howard Phillips (yeah, really). This picture starts out hard on the rats and ends up hard on just about everyone, including the audience. Especially the audience. Extra added bonus: a sexual assault even more brutal than the one in the original (though mercifully somewhat shorter). And the piece de resistance (and I do mean resistance) is the battle between the zombie rat and reanimated penis that adorns the end credits. Now that’s something everyone involved can be proud of. Wish I’d skipped it
