The third and final installment (thus far) in the ‘Re-Animator‘ film franchise comes ‘Beyond Re-Animator‘ from 2003 and directed by Brian Yuzna who was a producer on the original ‘Re-Animator‘ movie. This third film is a ton of fun and still packs the insane amount of gore these films are known for. Set about a decade after the first film, it follows our favorite doctor (played by Jeffrey Combs) who is in prison now and still trying to perfect his experiment of bringing the dead back to life as we’ve seen in the previous movies.

Since he is in prison, he is mostly trying to bring rats back to life, but when another intern doctor comes to help out with his experiments and the warden wants to bring back his love interest, all goes to hell in a prison riot, where the undead are running rampant. The blood and guts are non-stop and the horror-comedy is at an all-time high. Vestron Video delivers new video and audio presentations here along with some new bonus features which are listed out below.
