Review of Re-Animator

Re-Animator (1985)
Evil Doctor Brings the Dead Back to Live as Murderous Zombies
10 November 1999
Yes, my evil assistant, we can re animate the dead brain cells, but they will have deteriorated so far that all that returns is a murderous zombie. Hey oops I killed the cat. Here let's try the serum. EEEEEEKK Get that thing off me. Scene of dead-cat-foo with actor fighting and throwing around stiff stuffed cat on throat ala Saturday Night Live. All I had to know was that it was HP Lovecraft inspired. The master of horrorshow.

By now everyone else has given away the great "Head" scene. I can only add that it is a cinematic horror masterpiece from the perspective of the camera angle, capturing the victim's horror as her face lifts from the morgue slab. I saw it in a nearly empty theater with mostly black teenage couples. The full effect of the scene can be summed up in their reactions, the girls squealed EEEEK and the guys chuckled Hyuk Hyuk.

Great date movie.

(On one of his 80's Drive In Movie Reviews Joe Bob Briggs responded to a question about the best B-Movies of all time, and he named Basket Case and Re-animator, and it is from his summary -- # nekkid breasts, buckets of blood, and dead cat foo)
