Herbert West once again revives the dead. This time, he brings Dan's ex-girlfriend's heart back inside a 'perfect' body. Dr. Hill returns as the evil nemesis who lost his head.
This movie contains 46 potentially triggering events.
I mean Dan doesn’t protest working with Herbert despite everything that happened in the last movie but I think it’s less forgiveness and more “begrudgingly working with him”
A man is described as a "wife-beater," when another character struggles to shoot the man. It is said almost humorously and in order to get the character to dislike the man so that he has less remorse in killing him. No abuse is explicitly shown, although there is an awkward and threatening moment between two other characters which only lasts about a minute.
A (obviously fake) bat's wings are cut off while it's still alive, and iguanas are shown throughout the movie while it is discussed that parts of their body are used in making the "re-agent," within the film. It is implied that they are kept by the main character for this purpose. There is also a dog death, in which the dog is then "re-animated," with a human arm.
From 28:33 to 29:50 a bat is very visibly and audibly distressed, as he is reanimated. His chest has been cut open and his wings are cut off as he struggles and makes sad noises. It is worth mentioning that it doesn't look very real, though.
A dying woman in a hospital has raspy breaths, multiple mangled or gore-y creatures also rasp, one character is briefly choked, and at the end there is (SPOILERS) a cave-in which presumably suffocates as well as crushes characters.
It is exclusively extreme body horror, there are maybe only 2 scenes I can think of without it. It's early 90s practical effects though so not super realistic.
A woman's pelvis attached to "the bride" which is a Frankenstein-esque creation, Herbert talks about how it belonged to a prostitute which has some implications with it. Nothing actually happens to the actual genitals.
Many scenes take place in parts of a large teaching hospital. This includes the morgue and a padded room. Most prominently, there are a few scenes of a character who is dying in the hospital.
This is potentially present when the titular "bride," comes alive, as she is in distress and made up of different body parts, and which obviously make her feel inhuman.
The movie is about a serial killer who isn't exactly mentally stable and his roommate who is unstable in a different way who is also violent if but somewhat reluctantly
The flashing lights near the end are almost unbearable. I had to watch some scenes with my hands over my eyes because it bothered me so bad. Light sensitive people/those with epilepsy beware
Yes women's bodies are literally cut apart and attached to the bride. They are literally made into objects and Herbert talks about them as though they are just parts, one example is the pelvis of a prostitute if I remember correctly.
(SPOILERS) The roof comes down on four people. Three of them survive, though one of the three is implied to be dead at the end of this film, and is only revealed to be alive in the third movie.
