bEYOND REANIMATOR

I just received the new issue of Fangoria magazine and It's cover Strangely reminiscent of those old, wonderful Fango covers. The new issue sports a mangled, bloody face and raves about the new re-animator film Beyond Reanimator. I'm hearing some great things about this sequel. Check out the Review below (Sent to Harry Knowles of Aint it coolNews)

Hey Harry,
Long time reader, first time yadda yadda yadda. Friday night was the U.S Premiere of Beyond Re-Animator at the 12th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival and guess who was there? Brian Yuzna and Jeffrey Combs! They introduced the film and had a Q & A afterwards. First, lets talk about the movie. It was AWESOME! I won't spoil anything, but the gore FXs (by Screaming Mad George) and the digital FXs were top notch. Even though the movie was only made for 3 million dollars the CGI was believable and inventive. Combs as West is amazing as well. There are many winks that he gives to the audience in reference to the first one, but what is good about Beyond is that you didn't have to see the first 2 to get
it. The movie stands on its own and is almost as good as the first, almost. What impressed me most besides the digital FXs was the lighting. The lighting also made it look more expensive than it was and it gave it a comic book style to it. The over all tone reminded me of EC Comic's Tales from the Crypt. Here's something funny about the print that we saw. Yuzna said that only one print has been made so far and it was for the cast and crew screening. And because it was shot on Spain that print had Spanish subtitles on it. The cast
and crew print was flown to Philly and that's what we saw so it made the movie more unintentionally funny seeing Spanish words below the actors. After the screening Yuzna and Combs stuck around to answer some questions. Yuzna said that the digital FXs were done "in house" by Fantastic Factory (the Spanish company that made it and Yuzna is apart of). He also said that he is trying to make Fantastic Factory the new Hammer and with films
like Beyond Re-Animator and Dagon he just might do it. Someone asked what Stuart
Gordon thought of the sequels and Combs said that Gordon gave his blessing, but feels alittle weird seeing someone else doing his idea. Combs is a really funny guy, but Yuzna looks like he's all business. Yuzna also said that its difficult making a film for an audience who thinks horror films started with Scream (that got a laugh out of everyone). And of course the question of would they do another Re-Animator came up and Combs said yes, if the
story was right.Yuzna quickly shot in the comment of how Gordon would like to
do House of the Re-Animator, so you never know. I also saw the East Coast Premiere of Hideo Nakata's Dark Water on Sunday night. He is a master of suspense. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it is true. The guy had me squirming in my seat. After the screening
someone said, "Only the Japanese could make water scary", and i would have to agree. I also appreciate how Nakata spends such a long time developing his characters as 3 dimensional people. It made the suspenseful parts at the end even better. Now, it is a slow film so be warned, but the pay off is well worth it. Well, i hope you put this up. If you do i'll send you more reviews from the 12th Annual Philly Film Festival. Tonight i'm seeing Alex di la Iglesia's Mutant Action, Tuesday Miike's Graveyard of Honor and next week The
Eye. If this goes up call me Motorized
