It is 8 years since the Miskatonic massacre. Unperturbed by the disastrous outcome of his previous meddling with the dead, Dr. West (again played by Jeffrey Combs) continues his research into the phenomenon of re-animation; only this time, he plans to create life starting with the heart of his young protégé Dan's dearly deceased, Meg Halsey. Surely nothing could go wrong? (Arrow Films)

A sequel, which is already a straight comedy, in which Jeffrey Combs aka Herebert West and the animatronic puppets excel again. Apart from the weirdness, there is nothing else going on, but that doesn't mean it isn't excellent entertainment, even if it doesn't reach the quality of the first film even in its best moments.

Bloodier, more insane and more B-movie than the first part – in other words, better. There’s a greater dose of action, humour and Frankenstein perversion and the last 15 minutes are proper splatter fun. Herbert West is a great character, Jeffrey Combs elevates the other actors whenever he appears on screen and the level (of entertainment) increases sharply. And since he’s on screen almost all the time, I can’t avoid an above-average rating.
