Re-Animator (1985)
8/10
Truly a Mad Scientist
3 March 2024
Solid horror movie. I'm surprised Re-Animator never got more fame. From start to finish it's packed with action and horror. The gore is just down right gross all the way through, but the story is compelling. The cast is great. And more than that, it has a fresh spin on things. It's not about zombies and it's not Frankenstein's monster, but somewhere in between both of those things. The movie is creative. I loved the script with the random jokes between the gross gore, it helped lighten up the movie a little.

The best part of the entire movie is Herbert West played by Jeffrey Combs. He truly is a mad scientist to his core. He has no intention of causing harm, but just wants to experiment and reach depths no one else has, unfortunately that leads to a string of chaos. Death. And then life. The movie does not hold back on the nudity, male and female full on. It holds it's intensity all the way through. And does a great job with making the movie feel real. Even with the insane amount of blood and gore, it all looks fairly real. The movie is not for the weak of stomach. And there is one nearly rape scene that was a bit much. Some might find this funny, other's extremely offensive.
