There can be no Herbert West without Jeffrey Combs. This is an unneeded reboot that while keeps in a lot of the gore it just does not have the great skills that Combs brought to the role. J Combs love for all things Lovecraftian is greatly missed and this movie misses the mark. While the original does take some liberties in the story so does this one and the storyline varies wildly so they are two different moves and not just a shot for shot reboot which makes it to be its own movie and could be seen as a better movie if not for the original existing. I just could not separate the two so if you love the original stay away from this one.
