How scary is Bride of Re-Animator?
You'll spend most of this laughing more than flinching, since it's built as gross-out comedy first and horror second. The pacing is fast and gleeful, throwing one absurd, squishy creation after another at you rather than building any real dread. Blood and body parts fly constantly, but it's played so over-the-top that it feels more like a cartoon than something that gets under your skin. Great pick if you want to laugh at outrageous practical effects with friends, not if you want an actual scare.
