Oh Boy....

Dr. Herbert West returns in this the third film. Now on death row. West continues his experiments in secret and creates a new process to control the feral aspects of the reanimated subjects. Well finally I got some answers to some nagging questions. 1. When the heck will there be another film. 2. What happens when the serum is injected into a living subject. 3. And who would when the fight between a cockfighting penis and a kung fu rat.
