Bride of & Beyond Re-Animator
Umbrella Entertainment's Worlds on Film: Beyond Genres line of titles continues with Vol 2: Bride of Re-Animator and Beyond Re-Animator. Bride is the 1991 sequel to Re-Animator and Beyond is third entry in the series from 2003, both directed by the original film's producer Brian Yuzna. They continue the misadventures of Dr. Herbert West, played by Jeffrey Combs, a mad scientist who develops a way of bringing dead tissue back to life, but with monstrously chaotic results. While the results were mixed, Umbrella's Blu-ray treatment of both films is nothing short of impressive.

Bride of Re-Animator: Dr. Herbert West (Jeffery Combs) and his longsuffering colleague Dr. Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) resume their former positions at the Miskatonic University. Eight months following the climatic massacre from the original film, Dr. West has shifted his horrific experiments to entail creating new life.

Four-teen years later, Beyond Re-Animator finds the mad but undeterred Dr. West behind bars serving time, and a new prison doctor becomes a valuable tool in the experimenter’s research, which has taken its most bizarre turn yet.
