Orlando SentinelJoe Bob Briggs
It's got everything the original had. Best of 1991. [22 Mar 1991, p.7]

Screen RantMichael Kennedy
While it's not as good as the first, it ups the ante on gore and insanity, and will delight those who enjoyed Re-Animator. Read full review

The GuardianStaff (Not Credited)
The first movie was a real tough act to follow but Yuzna - who produced the first instalment - has a real handle on the necessary sick OTT humour. [18 Oct 2003, p.83]

Los Angeles Times
The sequel is every bit as amusing as the original, though probably grislier. [08 Mar 1991, p.F16]

Fans of Stuart Gordon's 1985 Re-Animator will probably dig this campy gorefest sequel directed by the original's producer, Brian Yuzna. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyTy Burr
The original Re-Animator was made by an artist working on a wicked, energetic high. Bride of Re-Animator is a smart piece of hack work. In the end, it’s best left standing at the altar. Read full review

The New York TimesVincent Canby
Bride of Re-Animator is less a sequel to the critically praised 1985 horror film Re-Animator than a rehash based on the same H. P. Lovecraft stories. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not Credited)
The movie almost seems the same as the Bride herself--begun with all the correct parts, but eventually self-destructing. Before it falls apart, however, The Bride of Re-Animator does still have time for a number of clever, outrageous bits. Read full review

CineVueAdam Lowes
This is a largely uninspired rehash which fails to improve upon the superior original, stuttering along until the demented, anything goes finale. Read full review

Washington PostRichard Harrington
Though creepy Jeffrey Combs and beach boy Bruce Abbott return as West and Cain, producer Brian Yusna has replaced Stuart Gordon in the director's chair, without bringing new life to the affair. Even the jokes in the Woody Keith/Rick Fry screenplay seem refried. Read full review

Time OutStaff (Not Credited)
The excessive blood-spurting gruesomeness and cartoonish stop-motion effects trivialise the horror and undercut the would-be black humour in this travestied sequel to Stuart Gordon's hugely enjoyable film. Read full review
