5/10

Decent but underwhelming sequel.

After having enjoyed The Resonator: Miskatonic U (2021) and really feeling it was a step-up from some of Full Moon's other recent films, this sequel felt a bit underwhelming. Just like the previous (and upcoming) film, it again is split up/consists of 2 episodes, "The Rise of Kathogra" and "Herbert West Returns".

This film is basically a crossover between From Beyond (1986) and Re-Animator (1985). The tone is good, the acting was decent, the numerous gory practical effects looked solid and Herbert West was well portrayed. But sadly it altogether felt a bit shallow, some switching between scenes was rather sudden, character development is non-existent and the stretching out a film into 2 'episodes' still bugs me. I understand the decision why, since they're now able to put out 1 film 3 times (2 episodes and 1 feature-length release), but it honestly doesn't feel like there's much of a feature-length movie in here (combing both and removing credits of one leaves about 48 minutes).

Although not quite on the level of The Resonator: Miskatonic U (2021) for me, I enjoyed this and it's nice seeing Full Moon getting some 'bigger' names attached again, like Michael Paré.

4.5/10.
