Andy B H. P. Lovecraft is a very difficult author to adapt for the screen. His monsters tend to be of the cosmic and inexplicable variety and his protagonists usually end up as dribblingly insane or lunch for whatever eldritch being they have encountered. So with Herbert West, they have done a very good of taking a short story, expanding and piling on the gore for a modern audience. This is the third installation and see Howard West incarcerated. He meets a doctor called Howard Phillips (they really didn't work too hard for that name, did they) and together they start the usual experiments. From there it's the usual descent into madness with the mad scientists getting worse and worse with each action they take. What keeps this, and the other two films, together is Jeffrey Combs. His Herbert West is believably insane, highly active and clearly completely amoral. Without Combs, these films would not work but with him, they carry you through the ridiculous plots so that we can appreciate the dark humour and so that we can walk that line between sanity and insanity that Howard walks.

Menos criativo que os anteriores, com algumas cenas desnecessaria. A torca de parceria do protagonista não convence muito e a make nesse está ruim. Porém serve para estender a diversão para os fãs dos dois primeiros filmes Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the fact it's decades later, this movie still manages to keep some of the absurd fun and flavor of the 80s stuff, while also bringing in some fresh ideas and whole new age of lunacy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It's like the director got a stale bag of cliches from the top shelf, put them in a blender and then poured them over Re-Animator skeleton. It could have worked much better as a silly comedy, but only the last act is funny. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review steve d A fun return for the series that should please fans even if it isn't quite as good as the others.
