Frankenstein Reborn (2005)
http://www.monstersandcritics.com/do...kkeyartlrg.jpg

Summary of Frankenstein Reborn:
In this horrifying, modern retelling of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, a neurosurgeon obsessed with the reanimation of dead flesh, murders his patient and resurrects his corpse. Instead of life, he creates pure EVIL, as the Creature carves a path of flesh and gore through the heart of the city.

My summary:
2 scientist try to help a paralized man walk again...So they do their research on him....It works but he starts to have bad dreams of killing....He cant control himself so one of the doctors kill him and then does a new reanimation on him....The creature then starts his killing spree...This is all I will say, I dont like to tell the whole story...

More thoughts:
For the 1st time from Asylum video they actually put some money into this one...If you ever watched any of their movies they are pretty bad..This is a good movie ...It looked like a big budget made movie...The gore was great and the story was good also...Go rent this one...

http://www.hollywoodvideo.com/images...dvd/141234.gif

DVD description:
Shy Walker is a local man with the ability to see images of future events. When his two daughters go down to the local corn maze to celebrate the spooky holiday. Shy sees a vision that terrifies him and he races down to get them.. But by the time he arrives, the girls are already inside and are unable to find their way out.. With his wife terrified and helpless to save the two, Shy must put his psychic abilities to the test to pull them from a trap haunted by the living dead...

My Thoughts:
First they cant stop changing scenes...It gets annoying....Let me put it this way its like that the whole movie...The dad keeps getting all these visions, which are as bad as the scene changes....Then when he gets to the maze it takes him about 2 to 4 hours just to find the kids...Why didnt he just cut through the corn when he heard them screaming? The dense wife just stayed back at the entrance...As time goes on she gets clobbered and the husband for some reason has no problem getting out of the maze numerous times...Dont even bother with this one..
