Re-Animator.
 

Awesome gory, horrifying and hilarious 1985 Sci-fi horror comedy cult classic about a medical student named Herbert West that brings the dead back to life with a serum with the help of a fellow student but the results are deadly especially when bringing back a dead decapitated teacher to life as he wants the formula to himself so he can have an army of zombies.

The film is based on a H.P. Lovecraft story and the film is filled with nudity and gore galore! it's a cross between E.R., Evil Dead, Day of the Dead, Frankenstein and Cannibal Holocaust, a most recommended movie for horror fans and a must have!

If you liked that one also check out Re-Penetrator

I still want to smack stuart gordon around...

I wish he would quite making retellings of lovecraft stories. he is cheapening all of them....

actually i love his lovecraft movies not to mention it gives those who hadnt heard of lovecraft the insentive to learn about him.

beyond Re-Animator.

I've seen the movie and read the story and can say that there was nothing wrong with the making of that movie... I don't think he cheapened it at all. It's not like he was remaking TCM or House of Wax :D

...But in all fairness the remake of TCM was pretty good.

In my opinion, it sucks. But that is only my opinion and it is probably biased because I love the original TCM so much. :D

Anyway, I love Re-Animator. Both Lovecraft's and Poe's stories tend to be butchered when made into films (sometimes I wonder how they had the nerve to put Poe's name on the movies they made). I certainly don't have a problem with this film because of that, because it is fun and completely appalling. Qualities I enjoy in a film. ;)

Re: Re-Animator.
 

indeed a classic film!

..beyond terrible.

Beyond Re-animator is not terrible infact i found it to be more entertaining then the original. The original however is a classic i dont think its as entertaining as the sequals. Bride is also very enjoyable but i.m.o. Beyond is the best. Either way all 3 should be seen
