jessikanc86 Amazing storyline ,original ,gory,funny everything that makes up a terrific movie a must watch!

jadavix Re-Animator is an obvious cult classic. Few people coming to it would be unaware of that fact. It is not undeserving of its status in this regard.Jeffrey Combs is the absolutely perfect choice for Herbert West, or any Lovecraft character. He's small, intense, intelligent, pale, and apparently completely humourless and devoid of any human interest. He comes across as a pure scientist as Lovecraft's characters always were.He was so well cast, and this movie did such an admirable job of modernising a Lovecraft story - albeit with some alterations, such as a love interest (something you'd be hard pressed to find in the horror master's entire body of work) and a spooky, Manson-like professor - that it is hard to believe he made the misfire "From Beyond", the next Combs- Gordon collaboration of another Lovecraft story. That one, based on a short story, was simply not suited to a feature film length, and so required more than just "modernizing": it had to be padded with garbage that spoilt the master's original work. That was not the case with Re-Animator, which was based on a novel, after all.Finally, a word about the tone: I first saw Re-Animator coming from Peter Jackson's Brain Dead and Frank Henenlotter's movies. I expected a similar kind of horror-comedy and was disappointed. As far as I know, Stuart Gordon has never gone for comedy in any of his movies. This is not a problem in Re-Animator; it's goofy fun regardless.

D' Francis A classic comedy horror. It features a college roommate who is so naive and stubborn toward finding a discovery that he endangers everyone around him. He invents a serum that can re-animate the dead, but while it does successfully revive the dead, it also makes them erratic and violent. After a zombie nearly kills the gang, what's the solution? Of course, re-animate more people and repeat the same mistakes. Things get spooky when a beheaded professor discovers this potion - I'll just leave it at that. Re-animator is scary and thrilling but doesn't take itself too seriously either. There's plenty of gore and disturbing imagery to go around for everyone. It's either smart for a dumb movie or dumb for a smart movie, but it works!

SnoopyStyle At University of Zurich, Herbert West brings his dead professor Hans Gruber back to life with disturbing side effects. He goes to Miskatonic Medical School in Arkham, Massachusetts to further his studies. He immediately challenges the traditional views of Dr. Carl Hill. Fellow medical student Dan Cain rents a room to the weird West. Dan is going out with the Dean's daughter Megan. Hill has it in for West and Cain by association. Using his evil powers of persuasion, Hill gets the Dean to expel both West and Cain. West converts the basement into a mad science laboratory.This is a campy B-movie. David Gale's performance is the proof of it. It is fun campy overacting. Jeffrey Combs is great at being creepy. The movie is grotesque fun. It moves well. It's not a scary horror but rather a campy one. It's weirdly compelling. Bruce Abbott is the main drawback. His amateurish acting isn't worthy of the lead. In the end, the movie makes you chuckle a little and pulls you into the story.
