Re-Animator

Cat dead, details later. Re-Animator has so many great moments! The ending, decapitated head giving head, the amazing sequence with all the re-animated bodies in the morgue, the way Dr. Herbert West drives that bone-saw through the first re-animated corpse's chest! The cat, every scene were the FX team show off how good they are! Yes, the gore is amazing, almost everything looks so damn amazing and I always want to know how they did it. I think it so underrated sometimes these days because CGI but movies like Re-Animator shows us that practical effects still look damn amazing. In the end, Re-Animator is well worth the watch!

It's been a while since I watched Re-Animator, and watching From Beyond the other day, made me want to watch Stuart Gordon's "other'" Lovecraft horror again. This time around I watched the "Integral Cut", that has all the gore from the unrated cut intact, but also the extra dialogue scenes from the R-rated cut... and I loved it. It makes for a more fleshed out story, and you understand a bit more of the characters motives behind their actions. Re-Animator is one of my all-time favourite horror comedies. There's no other film that made such an impact as this one did the first time I watched it. There are so many iconic scenes. Among them when West can't get Dr. Hills head to stand up in the tray and puts it on a spike, and who can forget the head between the Barbara Cramptons legs scene. Just brilliant!!! I wonder when we'll get a 4K restoration of this one? ...because I want it!
