Herbert West (Creator/JeffreyCombs) has been in prison for thirteen years after one of his test subjects killed a teenaged girl and Dan Cain testified against him. The prison has a new doctor, Howard Phillips, who has West help him in the infirmary. Howard is revealed to be the younger brother of the girl who was killed by West's test subject. He helps West continue his experiments in the hope that what happened to his sister will never happen to anyone else again. West experiments with nanoplasmic energy, which can be taken from a living person and put into a reanimated person, restoring rational behavior. It works. Sort of.

Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Zig-zagged. In the prologue, West gets arrested following the death of Howard's sister, finally being made to pay for his actions in the previous movies. He spends over a decade in prison, thanks in large part to Dan Cain turning over evidence against him. Of course, you should know by now that West won't stop performing his experiments and that someone eager to learn his secrets will give him the opening he needs. [[spoiler:By the movie's end, the chaos in the prison allows West to escape into the night]].


Added DiffLines:

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: West is ready to beat it out of the prison before the authorities show up, but he stumbles upon Howard after his breakdown. West sees how far gone Howard is, and he leans down as if to tap his shoulder sympathetically to get him moving. [[spoiler:Subverted. He's simply lifting Howard's ID, and he runs off the second he gets it.]]
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Howard is left insisting this when the authorities find him covered in blood and cradling Laura's severed head.


Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: Howard was deeply affected by the death of his sister, but it's Laura's death, re-animation, and decapitation that truly send him off the deep end. He's left LaughingMad in the end.


Added DiffLines:

* TaughtByExperience: Due to the previous movies, West immediately knows nothing good will come of Howard's interest in Laura. His approaches to his experiments is also much more methodical than previous improvisations. He's also prepared to cut Howard loose if need be, due to how Dan (someone he seemed to have a fondness for) ended up turning on him and was key to his lengthy prison sentence.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Considering the way he compares [[LoveInterest Laura]] to his late sister Emily, it’s heavily implied that Dr. Phillips may have secretly harbored incestuous feelings towards his sister.
