Synopsis

After thirteen years in a prison ruled by a very mean director, Dr. Herbert West is invited to be the assistant of the new-comer Dr. Howard Phillips, a brilliant resident, in the penitentiary infirmary. After being introduced to each other, Dr. Phillips discloses that the last experiment of Dr. West killed his sister thirteen years ago, when he was a boy, and he became fascinated with the possibility of bringing dead people back to life. The journalist Laura Olney, who is covering a matter for her newspaper in the prison, has an affair with Dr. Phillips, and they fall in love with each other. However, Dr. West loses control and the place becomes a branch of hell. —IMDb

OH HEY WHAT IF WE JUST TAKE HERBERT WEST (what ? dead ? nah he's not!), PUT HIM IN A JAIL AND SEND A NEW APPRENTICE FOR HIM ?! AND THEN, EVERYTHING COULD JUST GO WRONG, PEOPLE GET KILLED AND RESURRECTED ?! Yeah, well, after all it's not that stupid. According to my friend it's a low budget (3M dollars) and they did well with that ! I enjoyed the "riot-mayhem" part of it, but it's like the others: slow to start.
