Trivia:

At one point Dr. West suggests that the noises coming from his laboratory wall are just "probably rats in the wall". This is a reference to one of H.P. Lovecraft's better known stories "Rats In The Wall".

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Dan is trying to break down the door of the lab, the first time he slams into it, the two lights on either side of the door flicker, emphasizing the fake wall with the lights loosely attached.

Quotes:

Dan Cain: I'm a doctor!
Dr. Herbert West: ...who will be a scientist.

A good sequel!

Herbert West and his reluctant sidekick, Dr. Cain, return for another fun, gory round of bringing back the dead in bits and pieces. This time, West cons Cain into an attempt to rebuild his late girlfriend, using her preserved brain and body parts scrounged from the local hospital. From here on in, this film is like a contemporary "Bride of Frankenstien", except the special effects (I love the stop-motion "eye" spider!) are terrific and there's enough gore to please fans. A underrated sequel. See it~
