Bride of Re-Animator.

Good sequels are hard to come by.  Generally speaking when they are successful it is because all of the same people are involved.  This is not the case with Re-Animator.  Brian Yuzna takes the reigns and tries to steer the Herbert West party into a successful place.  Starkwell wasn’t a huge fan of the first one, but Lovelock thoroughly enjoyed it.  This should make for excellent conversation.  I still never got them to sit down and read the Lovecraft stories.

[West is alive? And friends with Cain?]

Starkwell: Wait, I thought West died...

Lovelock: Probably not.  I’m just happy the ol’ team is back together!

[...]

[West talking tough to his old mentor’s severed head.]

Starkwell: Now I remember why I hated Herbert West.

Lovelock: Now I remember why I loved Herbert West.

[...]

[Stop-motion finger-eyeball creature.]

Lovelock: Holy shit that’s creepy.

Starkwell: Why would Cain even still be living with West?

Lovelock: Well he did just say he was moving out… but I think it’s just a fight.  They’re BFFs forevah!

[...]

Doctor Hill’s severed head is revived by Doctor Idiot.  Starkwell and Lovelock were yelling at the TV.  I think that means they are into the movie.

[...]

[West and Cain steal corpse from morgue.  They put sunglasses on her so she won’t look dead.]

Lovelock: It was funny when they did it in "Weekend at Bernie’s".

Starkwell: It was?

Lovelock: No, I guess it wasn’t.

[...]

Starkwell: Cain’s got three women at the same time?  Can he let West have one?

Lovelock: Man, Herbert’s married to his research…  Don’t you know anything?

[...]

[West and Cain work on assembling a woman.]

Starkwell: Why is there smoke everywhere?

Lovelock: Man, all mad scientists equip their labs with smoke machines… Don’t you know anything?

[...]

Starkwell: Why is there a pot sitting over a fire in his lab?

Lovelock: Because he’s cooking pasta.  Scientists need to carbo-load… Don’t you know anything?

[Starkwell then punched Lovelock in the face.]

[...]

[Officer Zombie kills the puppy. West re-animates her dead dog, which of course freaks her out, and she runs away from Cain screaming.]

Lovelock: Herbert West Re-animator? More like Herbert West: Cockblock.

[...]

There was a shot of a woman looking through a window at Herbert, and Herbert slowly closed the blinds in her face.  For some reason, it made Starkwell laugh hysterically, and they ended up re-watching it about six times.  I think Starkwell is starting to warm up to Dr. West.

[...]

Starkwell: What the hell is Dr. Cain wearing?  That shirt looks eight sizes too big for him.  What is that a pirate shirt?

[...]

[Cain and West revive the assemblage of woman they put together.]

Starkwell: What, of ANYTHING that has happened over the course of two films, makes them think that this is going to work?  Or  good idea?

Lovelock: Science isn’t exact.  It’s more about wishing and hoping.  And if things don’t go right, fudge the data.

[...]

As the movie wrapped up, we see the disgusting finished product, and all Hell breaks loose, or should I say, West’s creations break loose, Starkwell and Lovelock sat repulsed, amazed, shocked and, I guess, pretty satisfied overall.  Bravo Mr. Yuzna.
