Beyond Reanimator-Playing TONIGHT

[Mr_Vindictive]

Guys, I can't believe this news.

My rural area....Reanimator??? HELL YEAH!

Driving home from doing some shopping with my wife last night, I heard a radio spot for Beyond Reanimator.  Great schlock it sounded like.  Playing in a nearby town (2 hrs away) tonight at 10 and at midnight.  The first ten customers get Reanimation Liquid!!!

I must go!  Well...if my wife and I have a babysitter tonight.

Here's the plot outline:
After Re-Animator and The Bride of Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna brings us the sequel of the Doctor Herbert West. A dozen years later we find West is an inmate at a forbidding old Prison. In spite of his incarceration, West has been continuing his Re-animation research, using rats and mice for subjects, and electrocuting them with a special jerry-rigged apparatus. West has now identified an electrical phenomenon the NPE which is discharged from the brain at the moment of death?and which may be the missing link in his studies: if the Neuroplasm is re-injected into a Re-animated Corpse, it should restore the subject to full reason.


I'm so psyched!

Give everyone a heads up tomorrow or Monday!

Now I'm envious... being a spanish movie (of sorts), I expected to watch it before anybody else and then tell all you about it, as I did with "Dagon", which got a theatrical release here and then got a US release in DVD like a year later.

Well, enjoy it and tell us about it. I'm begging... Please!

[Mr_Vindictive]

Well, everything worked out perfectly.  My wife and I found a babysitter, and actually got to see Beyond ReAnimator.

I knew I was going to enjoy the flick when there was only 7 other people other than my wife and I in the theater.  

(I write this review while looking at the tubes of ReAnimation juice that the theater gave us)

The film starts off with two kids in a tent being watched by someone in the woods.  One of the boys' sister is in the house getting some milk and is also being watched by this mysterious prowler.  The prowler enters the house, and eventually attacks the sister.  The attacker is a zombie without a lower jaw and missing an arm.

(At this point a young couple that had just walked in leaves.)

The police come in and save the two boys, but not before the zombie brutally smashes the sister's head in against the wall.

And so starts this masterpiece of humor and gore.

The rest of the film takes place in a prison 13 years later.  Herbert West is put in jail for the murder of the young girl mentioned earlier.  A young doctor comes to the prison and wants to continue West's work with him.  What follows is a perfect schlock flick that harkens back to the day of classic 80s horror.

This puppy is sick.  The first half hour is decent for gore, with the second half hour being mainly dialogue and character development.  The last 30mins-45mins though is the real topping.  West's work leads to a massive riot in the prison.  We get everything here.  Dismemberments, nipples bitten off, bodies ripped in half, exploding intestines, etc.

(Also a few hilarious scenes involving a rat brought back to life and a bitten off phallus.  Stay tuned during the credits of the flick to see a kung fu penis-rat battle)

In conclusion, this film is much much much better than the horrible trailer that was being shot around the net.  Quite possibly the best horror film I've seen at the theater ever.  Lots of humor, great gore, and all around a great accomplishment for Brian Yuzna.

AND THAT'S MY TWO CENTS!

You suck, dude.  I read on the Fango site that it was playing in Cedar Rapids a few hours from me, but when I looked up show times on the 'net I couldn't find a damn thing.  I even called information and went to the local theater to have them look it up for me and they'd never heard of it.  If you figure out where and when it is, let me know, PLEASE.

Woa! Looks like a film to put in my list. And now the serious question: Does Elsa Pataky (the blond actress on her 20s) show her breasts? You see, she's a sex symbol of sorts here in Spain ;-D

[Mr_Vindictive]

Elsa Pataky does show some skin in the flick (not much though).  Hate to disappoint you.

Let's try this again.  Where is the movie playing?  What theater did you guys see it at and how long is it going to be there?  There were supposed to be a couple of Iowa theaters carrying it but I could find nothing.  Little help here?

Not quite sure where the movie is playing nationwide.  I just know that it played in NC for two days in Jacksonville and Wilmington, both at Carmike Theaters.  The only way I knew about it was by hearing a radio spot for it on the local rock station.
