I have just seen Beyond Re-Animator (2003) For the first timeI loved the first, seen it a few times, I only saw the second one , a few week ago, as I could get into that movie , i found some of the nasty gory scenes were the only thing that I can really remember, near the end of the movie. The rest of the movie very forgettable (I need re-watch this again).This movie as a great start and I was already into the movie, the movie does not take time to get going and the build up to the gory final scenes.I was little disappointing that is not gory as the second movie but this as some really decent gory scenes, in the last 20mins of the movie. I was hoping for really nasty, gory bloody, soaking deaths scene as this was the 3rd movie in series, i thought they would step it up notch as Bride as some nasty grossness in there final scene. This movie did have some but nothing compare to sequel before however I found this less gory but more intruding. I gave first 8, not rated second yet! but i give this movie 6 out of 10.

A follow up to the "Renamitor" series that does not hold up to the other 2 previous movies. The final chapter in what could of been a brilliant trilogy, is a forced and painful miss. The fact that the original actor Jeffrey Combs play herbert west helps the film, though it does not save it from these catastrophic results. Cheap special effects combined with a bad plot, aren't what made the original 2 so worthwhile to the point of gaining a cult status. This is a film who would probably only be best if seen or considered by fans of the original "Reanimator" and "Bride Of The Reanimator". There is not much to see here unless you are curious to see a epic fail like this. Beyond Renamitor?...yeah,tell me about it.

As a child, Howard Philips witnesses the death of his sister at the hands of a reanimated corpse, the grisly result of one of mad genius Herbert West's crazy experiments. Thirteen years later, Howard (Jason Barry), now a brilliant young doctor, takes up residency at the Arkham Penitentiary where West (Jeffrey Combs) is incarcerated, in the hope that he can convince the scientist to reveal the secret behind his reagent and use it to help mankind.West, who has been carrying out experiments inside his prison cell using makeshift equipment, is only too happy to help: with proper lab facilities at his disposal, he can continue work on his new discovery—nano-plasm, the energy present in all living creatures—which he believes will stabilise his otherwise violent test subjects. West's ideas are clearly a little flaky (in order for him to harvest the nano-plasm needed to restore a life, someone has to die), but then so is he, and once again, his experiments only lead to chaos and carnage ('You were wrong!' screams an angry Howard at West as he realises the true horror of their actions; 'It was a THEORY' replies the scientist dryly).Beyond Re-animator is the first of the series to be produced under Brian Yuzna's Spanish production label Fantastic Factory, and as such, it suffers from a slightly less polished look and feel to its predecessors (as well as a supporting cast who all bear slight traces of a Spanish accent). Thankfully, Yuzna's sense of humour is just as dark and demented as before and the result is another hugely enjoyable exercise in outrageous splatter, deviancy, and total lunacy.Admittedly, after the excellent opening scene, the film takes a while to get up to speed again, but once Yuzna and his talented team of effects experts hit their stride, there's simply no stopping the madness: there's a nasty warden who, after being killed and injected with rat nano-plasm, becomes a half rodent/half human zombie who wants to use West's glowing green formula to prolong the agony of execution for those on death row; a drug addict explodes after overdosing on reagent; a prisoner's upper torso wanders around on its hands during the films crazy closing riot scene; the prison's sexy nurse (Bárbara Elorrieta) has her dress torn off by a zombie that proceeds to savage her naked breast; Howard's hot reporter girlfriend Laura (the incredibly gorgeous Elsa Pataky) is transformed into a schizophrenic zombie dominatrix clad in a tight corset, black stockings, suspenders, and stiletto heels; and a rat makes off with the warden's severed penis.Oh, and be sure to continue watching during the end credits for what is possibly the film's funniest gag (depending on how warped your sense of humour is, of course).

I am a big fan of horror movies and actually made a mistake when I bought this movie second hand. I didn't check the title that well and was convinced I was buying the original. My disappointed was gone very soon. I admit that the acting is horrendous but strangely this just gives the movie more of it's charm. Elsa Pataky is stunning in her role and the gore in this movie is just so over the top it makes you smile while watching horrible things happen to people. All in all without spoiling anything I can encourage everyone to watch this movie. This could become a genuine cult classic. I agree that this term is used way to much, but if you liked Braindead by Peter Jackson you will adore this movie. What I kept wondering is how they got up with the scene when the credits are rolling...that was just amazingly funny stuff.
