 Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck) and his mutant twin brother are back, having survived certain death at the end of the previous film. As is often the case, this one just doesn't click like the original. They take refuge in a house of freaks with a reporter hot on their trail. Weird, but it will appeal to some.

Director: Brian Yuzna    More Info
Starring: Jeffrey Combs, Claude Earl Jones, David Gale, Bruce Abbott, Fabiana Udenio, Kathleen Kinmont

 Like the original "Re-Animator," this sequel again features Dr. West (Jeffrey Combs) as the bizarre experimenter who now tries to create a woman out of an assortment of body parts.

Starring: Robert Vaughn, Donald Pleasence, Karen Witter, Ginger Lynn Allen, John Carradine, Nia Long, Arnold Vosloo, Isabel Kastrikis, William Butler, Janine Denison

 Edgar Allen Poe, what have they done to your stories? Parts of some of his stories, "updated," were used in this tale of a young woman who goes to Ravenscroft Institute to teach. The Institute is presumably for troubled girls, but as they start disappearing, our heroine seeks to find out what is going on in this creepy place with its creepy staff. The 1/2 star isn't deserved, but is in honor of John Carradine in his final film.

Director: Frank Darabont    More Info
Starring: Tim Matheson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, William Atherton, Hoyt Axton, Jay Gerber, Wayne Grace, Donald Hotton, Brian Libby, Peg Shirley, David Youse

 Joanna (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is running around on her husband Clint (Tim Matheson). She, along with her boyfriend, decides to kill him for the insurance.

Director: Lucio Fulci    More Info
Starring: Lucio Fulci, David L. Thompson, Jeoffrey Kennedy, Malisa Longo, Ria De Simone, Brett Halsey, Sacha Darwin, Robert Egon, Shillett Angel, Paul Muller

 Director Lucio Fulci plays himself and is in the midst of making his new horror film. Unfortunately, he is going mad from all the gore he has created on the screen. Maybe a trip to a psychiatrist would be a good idea. Whoops, it wasn't a good idea because the psychiatrist (David L. Thompson) is worse off than Fulci and uses Fulci's visions to create real gore. About as bloody as it can get, with many clips from his earlier films.
