Fun but unsatisfying..., 14 December 2001
6/10
Author: delicreep from SF Bay Area

Such a hard act to follow. The original Re-Animator was amazing for two reasons: it was a knockout horror flick smack in the middle of the 80's, and it was a knockout horror flick based on the writings of HP Lovecraft. Loaded with daring ideas and sexual energy, it took everyone by surprise. The sequel could have been more of a failure. After all, just the weight of trying to follow such a grand film as the original is daunting. Yuzna and his crew perform admirably, and much of the film is nicely twisted. I especially like Dr. West's couplings of various appendages and organs to make all sorts of weird ambulatory critters. Much of Lovecraft's pulp mechanations (he disliked the finished stories) remain, just as in the first film. Essentially, the grander the experiments West and his colleague contrive, the more costly (and gory)the failure. Screaming Mad George's effects certainly are the highlights. The film moves at a decent clip, but ultimately just can't come together. The humor is far more showy--a bit too much winking and nudging--and detracts from the horror. I would have liked to have seen more hunger in this film, more of a desire to really do a job on the audience. Yuzna and co. make a film that's just a bit too content for my tastes. If you see this flick, by all means check it out. It certainly doesn't fall on its face. The first film just had more of a swagger to it, is all.
