Great sequel to a great movie.

The scenario in this movie is slightly different than the first one. The movie starts off 8 Months after the "Miskatonic Massacre", the beginning takes place in Peru where a civil war is raging on. Herbert West and Dan Cain are volunteered medics there, helping wounded soldiers.

It doesn't take long before West is back to his old tricks again. An allied soldier is on an operating table in a tent and Herbert and Dan are attempting to save him, he passes away but Herbert manages to bring him back right before shooting him in the face. As the allies retreat, Dan and Herbert are attacked by some soldiers but does that stop West? Hell no

They return to Miskatonic where Dan is treating a cancer patient, Gloria. And life seems to be going on normally despite a massacre occurring only months earlier. That is, until Lt. Leslie Chapham(played by Claude Earl Jones) arrives. Chapham informs Dr. Graves (another doctor who works at Miskatonic) that the investigation of the Miskatonic Massacre is still under investigation. He brings along with him the head of Dr. Carl Hill (who was found in a side-show, a reference to West's advice in the first movie "Get a job in a side-show").

Soon, an Italian woman who had assisted West and Cain in Peru, Fancesca Danelli shows up and falls in love with Dan. However, as we all know from the previous movie, Dan can never have anything good in his life without it being destroyed.

Hill's head is soon re-animated and he is back to his old tricks again. And of course West is back to his tricks as well, experimenting re-animating various body-parts and whatnot.

Lt. Chapham pays West a visit one night while Dan and Francesca are otherwise "occupied" and attempts to attack West, who informs him that he is suspected of killing his wife. West kills Chapham and brings him back...BIG MISTAKE.

Hill is also given bat wings...another big mistake.

West and Dan have used body parts of different people to create the perfect bride. Using Gloria's head, Meg Halsey's heart, and various other parts from other women.

Soon another massacre takes place under the cemetery, the re-animated corpses, Chapham, the bride, Hill, and all of West's experiments are involved.

Well, I wont give every every last thing that happens

This movie is a must for fans of the first one
