Re-Animator

Hmmm, why would an UNRATED version of a movie be SHORTER than the RATED version? (My excuse is that this is the only version my local Blockbuster stocks, so there.) Incredible makeup effects, a clever storyline, and an unbridled, off-the-radar sense of macabre humor make "Re-Animator" a slapstick treasure of the genre (it's far better than Sam Raimi's hopelessly overrated "Evil Dead"). Jeffrey Combs is brilliant as the Norman Bates-ish Herbert West, a medical student who's invented a serum that brings the dead back to life...sort of. This version of the film is somewhat choppy, and the gore scenes are fairly obviously trimmed (the 'head-on-a-stick' scene isn't included), but I still found it absurdly entertaining. Off I go to find the special edition DVD... 3.5 stars out of 5

In spite of its numerous special effects,its gore and its horrible scenes,"Re-Animator" was a breath of fresh air in the eighties when the film was released.Why? Because it was a return to black humor (which "motel hell" (1980) had already broached) which had been completely forgotten in the likes of Freddy ,Friday the thirteenth ,Halloween....And funny,nay hilarious,"Re-Animator" is!Jeffrey Combs is wonderful as the lead.I dig the way he introduces himself,I love his swagger,I love his deadpan face,and above all his logic (I'm a scientist!).His reluctant pal Dan delivers this line which is the best euphemism I 've heard in the whole horror cinema:after the extremely gory scene in the morgue ,he mumbles " must be dreamin'" . The cat in the fridge,the dean turned into a zombie,the lecherous professor licking Barbara Crampton's magnificent body,and more and more! Horror movie buffs,do not miss it!

I bought this movie after reading a review, it must be one of the greatest horror comedies of all time! If you, like myself, thought that Evil Dead II was hilarious just go ahead and watch this one. Very sarcastic, probably the best Lovecraft movie.

This movie is certainly not for everybody, but it sure is one of the better mad scientists films around. Stuart Gordon injects black comedy with over the top gore and he gets a modern horror classic. Jeffrey Combs is outstanding as Dr. Herbert West, and there are scenes that you will never forget in this one. One of my personal favorite horror films.

When i first saw re-animator in 85, i was aghast and appalled. i just didn't get it. i was a classic horror fan; so when i heard the obvious rip from psycho's theme, it irritated me even more. well, now i'm an older, wiser horror fan. i just saw it again for the first time since 85 and i laughed my bum off! homage, homage, homage! honouring everything from hitchcock to raimi, from day of the dead to frankenstein. this in-your-face send off is a great double feature with dead alive. jeffery combs' over the top performance is reminiscent of colin clive and cronenberg found his very own ash in bruce abbott. so sit back, relax (as much as you can...) and enjoy re-animator.
