Review of Bride of Re-Animator

It's only fitting that the sequel to a Frankenstein style story starts with the "Bride of" as well don't you think? This another Brian Yuzna film. Hopefully it ends up being a good one or at least somewhat entertaining. The other writers also worked on Society (another weird one) with Brian Yuzna as well. Woody Keith also wrote the fourth Silent Night, Deadly Night that I watched last month. Anyways hopefully this isn't too bad.

It was actually not bad at all. It's pretty damn corny, but I was expecting that. The gore was insane and constant. The creations were wheels off. I mean they made quite some interesting combos. It had a few pretty amusing moments. The ending was alright. It kind of left a few things to wonder about.

It was nice to see our main duo return once again. Dr. Hill is still weird, but not nearly as creepy as the first one. You may recognize Fabiana Udenio if you watched the Austin Powers films. There is something about Italian women that coaxes me in. I thought Gloria was an interesting newcomer here. I kind of felt sorry for her character. I still think Bruce Abbott looks like Elias Koteas though nowhere near the same level of talent. The police Lieutenant was such an annoying character. His smug looks and his constant flipping of his badge really irked me. Jeffrey Combs is still great as the psychopathic Doctor.

There isn't really too much to say. I thought it was fairly amusing and enjoyable. Of course it's corny, but that's just what makes it what it is. The acting is a bit silly of course, but most of the characters are likable. I didn't like the Lieutenant and Dr. Hill was lame here. They did a few original things even though this is basically a Frankenstein parody from Lovecraft. Anyways it is a decent film with some great moments and it does keep you interested. I think it deserves a shot.
