Once again tampering with mother nature to disastrous results, Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) continues his research in director Brian Yuznas second sequel to the 1985 splatter classic Re-Animator. Currently serving time in a maximum security prison for his previous exploits, Wests limited prison-cell experiments are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Howard Phillips (Jason Barry), the new prison doctor and the brother of the girl who suffered from Wests experiments 13 years earlier. Knowledgeable of Wests previous experiments and eager to assist the mad doctor in continuing his studies, the naive Phillips discovers that Wests continued studies have revealed a more effective means of bringing back the dead -- the removal of an individuals Neuroplasm, or soul, and the injection of it into a newly reanimated corpse. An electrical phenomenon discharged at the moment of death, with the discovery of the Neuroplasm West may have finally discovered the missing link to effectively bringing life to death. Or not. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
