Brian Yuzna lensed this ultra- sick third installment of the much-ballyhooed “RE-ANIMATOR” series. Jeffry Combs is back as Herbert West, the jailed psycho physician responsible for the Miskatonic Massacre. This is where this thing opens, in a peripheral flashback.
A stray zombie has wandered off the university site to a house occupied by a cute little boy and his jail- bait teenage sister. The ghoul breaks in on all this familial nicety and spoils the fun by holding the young lass up by her throat and abruptly ending her babysitting career. After killing the teen, our gruesome visitor adds insult to injury by opening the refrigerator and drinking the milk right out of the carton! The big problem here is that he no longer possesses a lower jaw, so the milk ends up all over both the zombie intruder and the floor. The cops burst in on this heart- warming tableau and feed Mr. Milky- Face a lead luncheon. Our young hero follows the action outside, where Dr. West is struggling with the police. He sees West ditch a syringe filled with the glowing green re- animator juice, picks it up and we fade to present time.
Young Howard is all grown up and is reporting for his first day of work as a doctor in (you guessed it) the prison where Dr. West is being held. Throw into this muck a sadistic warden and a dirty little scag of a reporter that literally pumps our young doctor for information. She's willing to use her feminine wiles to obtain the skinny on the still unsolved fifteen-year-old incident.
The action kicks right in even before Howard's formal orientation when the screws bring in an inmate stricken with a fatal heart- attack. Dr. West, who just happens to work in the prisons' infirmary, replaces the incompetent (but scantily- clad) Nurse Vanessa. “Get these fools out of here” is screamed and the docs are finally alone. Young doc pulls out the old fluorescent green and a very surprised West immediately jabs the needle into the base of the cadavers' skull. “He's not getting any fresher! ” he exhorts.
Wellll doggies….. It's time for zombie mayhem, kids, and every zombie prison flick made after this one certainly has a steep pile of shit to climb. The gore is over the top, as is most of the acting. Simon Andreau, playing the warden, is exceptionally hammy and believably sadistic. A scene where he debases the reporter chick by making her “Bark like a dog” had us giggling like the stupid little bitches that we are.
While we thoroughly enjoyed the myriad of asinine sub- plots, we dropped it down a couple of she- males because of the almost total bullshit irrelevancy of it all. This is, after all, a Re- Animator flick.
Most reviews we've seen have gone on and on about the re- animated dick joke that caps this movies' gory excess. Gory excess is what it's all about here. Therefore, the dick- chomping scene alone seals this films' 8 Angry She- Males, a respectable B- Cup on the big fat tittied Roll of Honor. Get your head into shape and slap this fucker into your machine, we guarantee that you'll soon be screaming “Make it stop!” We loved it!
