SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

View MoreA 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!
View MoreNo real expectations with this movie, my initial thought was some weird comedy horror. While some things look silly and there is certainly humour in it, overall I do think the movie is serious. They actually do make a very good effort to present a good story and interesting characters. It is a simple Frankenstein like story, small cast of characters which relationships among each other are worked out pretty well. Especially our 2 scientists and the lovely Megan were likable, people I liked to root for. Even Megan's father wasn't that bad after all. It's not overly gory, I would say it's the right dose of it. It never gets too much if it would go the Evil Dead way it would have lost its effect on me. It even has moments that are truly heartbreaking and touching. I don't think without this movie we would have had movies like Braindead!
View MoreThe Re-Animator was one of the best horror experiences I have ever had. Fantastic acting, tons of gore, little bits of humor sprinkled throughout, and a certain scene involving a severed head and a girl that just could never be shown in a movie these days. I loved all of it. The movie follows the story of Dan Cain, a medical student who is also in the tough position of dating the dean's daughter. Cain is soon joined by the strange Hubert West, a medical student from Switzerland, who has a serum that can bring the dead to life.The script is wonderfully written, with just the perfect amount of dark humor to lighten the mood just a little bit, but don't get me wrong this movie definitely had a dark tone even with it. I definitely have to give a shout out to the special effects department. A talking severed head, walking burn victims, and a zombie cat. Which all hold up to modern times CGI. With just some fake blood and some quick camera work they made a wonderful Dr. Hill. Another part of the movie that I really liked was the fact that I cared about the characters. In many horror/zombie movies I don't care if or when a character dies, because I don't feel a real attachment to them. The acting is what turned this around, the acting was impressive in every way. They allowed me to really get to know the characters and develop a sort of relationship with that you really don't find in movies of the same genre. The Re-Animator was also straight and to the point. With a run time of only 86 minutes there was plenty of time for action and little to none filler scenes. And boy will that ending keep you wondering "what just happened???" Overall The Re-Animator easily gets a 10/10, it was just perfect in every way. Funny, scary, and gory. Modern day directors should look back at movies like this as an industry standard.
