Horror. Fantasy. Comedy Herbert West and his reluctant sidekick, Dr. Cain, return for another funny, 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. What results is a kind of sideways parody of "The Bride of Frankenstein".

	Author	Review
United States	Chris Coffel Bloody Disgusting	"[It] is a little overstuffed and clunky, stumbling at times as it tries to move along (...) but it is a very worthy successor to Gordon’s 'Re-Animator'."	NEU
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Less a sequel to the critically praised 1985 horror film 'Re-Animator' than a rehash based on the same H. P. Lovecraft stories."	NEG
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"[It] is a classic blend of comedy and slapstick horror-movie ultra-violence, more exhilarating and resonant than the better known Evil Dead II (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	TV Guide	"[It] almost seems the same as the Bride herself--begun with all the correct parts, but eventually self-destructing (...) Before it falls apart, however, [it] does still have time for a number of clever, outrageous bits (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"Even the jokes in the Woody Keith/Rick Fry screenplay seem refried, suggesting that all too much of this 'Bride' is old and borrowed"	NEG
