It may play fast and loose with the finale of the first Re-Animator (somehow even the severed head survived), but the follow-up to Stuart Gordon's original classic, now directed by producer Brian Yuzna, is an entertaining film in its own right, actually hewing even closer to H.P. Lovecraft's original story. The effects are somehow even cheaper, but Jeffrey Coombs' iconic portrayal of Herbert West is the real draw here as his relationship with Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) evolves from professional manipulation to a genuine, albeit homicidally misguided, attempt at male bonding.
