The Blu-ray of 'Bride of Re-Animator' delivers a theatrically correct 1.85:1 aspect ratio with 1080p resolution using AVC encoding, showcasing a bright, detailed image with excellent depth and color vibrancy. Restored in 2013/14, both R-Rated and Unrated versions preserved, though the former shows occasional quality fluctuations in cut sequences.

Audio: 63

Featuring LPCM 2.0 Stereo, the audio is clean and clear with natural dialogue, vibrant effects, and a layered score. While it may require volume adjustment due to its quietness, the track maintains robust sound with minimal hiss and no high fidelity range, effectively enhancing the visual experience.

Extra: 82

The Blu-Ray Extras for "Bride of Re-Animator" offer a comprehensive and engaging dive into the film's production. Highlights include three insightful audio commentaries, two featuring director Brian Yuzna, detailed featurettes on special effects, behind-the-scenes footage, a collector’s booklet with expert essays, and reprints of the 1992 comic prequel.

Movie: 67

Bride of Re-Animator delivers a chaotic blend of superb gore, exceptional effects, and dark humor, despite its incoherent story and lack of serious character motivation. With Jeffrey Combs' standout performance as West and surprisingly well-done special effects on a small budget, it provides plenty of blood, guts, and laughter for those in a darkly comic frame of mind.
