Beyond Re-Animator (2003)
Scott had the right idea when he bailed on this after fifteen minutes -- it's even lamer than the notoriously crappy Bride of Re-Animator. The story is contrived and unimaginative, the characters are obnoxious and there's not enough Jefferey Combs (which makes no sense to me -- this is his damn film, so why spend so much time with boring Dr. Howard Phillips?). There isn't enough of Santiago Segura either, but at least he figures in a death scene that provides one of the few bits that trafficks in the same off-the-cuff black humor as the first film. A waste of time and money; Brian Yuzna will now officially pimp out anything for a dollar.
Grade: C-
