This kind of film is only interesting if the gore is funny and subversive. There is a bit of both, because Brian Yuzna does not hesitate to mix gore and sex. Or to exploit the addiction of some prisoners who inject themselves with Dr. West's serum while they are alive and well (with effects of course that allow us to highlight the talent of Screaming Mad George). The film's characters are delightfully misogynistic. But the whole thing is written: the script is structured and the film knows where it is going.
The argument is simple: Herbert West, the mad scientist of Re-Animator is in prison, but continues his experiments, on a rat, then on prisoners, then on guards and the director of the prison, and also a journalist (Elsa Pataky, for the erotic touch). And it degenerates when there is a revolt in the prison. In short, it's a prison movie painted with the gore of a Re-Animator.
