Re-Animator

Un joven y brillante médico, Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs), logra crear un suero capaz de resucitar a los muertos, ¡incluso solo partes del cuerpo! El problema principal es que los zombis regresan con un instinto asesino furioso. ¡Habrá problemas para él y para todos aquellos que, a su pesar, se encuentren junto al loco West. Se trata del "cult" por excelencia de la difunta Empire Video, casa de producción de Charles Band y Brian Yuzna. Muy libremente adaptado del relato de H.P. Lovecraft "Herbert West, reanimador" y dirigido por el gran Stuart Gordon, la película está llena de efectos especiales exagerados, muy bien realizados: cadáveres sin cabeza que se pasean tranquilamente, cabezas cortadas parlantes, tripas que estrangulan a su dueño, miembros mutilados... ¡esto y mucho más! Una película de terror excesiva, a veces deliberadamente cómica (¿cómo no mencionar la secuencia en la que el cuerpo decapitado de un no-muerto manosea a una atractiva joven y la cabeza correspondiente, apoyada en el suelo, se lo pasa bien!) que logra divertir y entretener al espectador. El único defecto, si se puede hablar de "defecto", es que no logra dar miedo porque está deliberadamente concebido para no tomarse demasiado en serio. ¡Solo para entusiastas!

I don't feel as strongly about Re-Animator as much of the horror community does. I absolutely enjoy it, recommend it, even. Just in more of a Watch-Enjoy-Done sort of way.

Very different from your typical Lovecraft fare.

Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go.

In 1985 I was 15, and already a big horror movie fan. With Evil Dead, Halloween, Friday 13th, Italian horror ... the genre was dynamic. Then, reading Mad Movies, I see this very gore movie inspired by a short Lovecraft tale, coming soon.

I go there at 2pm, watch the movie and end up seeing it 7 times in 3 days. The cast gives an insane (!!!) performance, especially Jeffrey Combs of course, but having Bruce Abbott try to keep his sanity and stay alive in the horrific events. Barbara Crampton will be mainly remembered by being licked by a severed head, but she does a nice "normal" character. The couple try to save what they can (sanity and life) and are quite a counterpoint to West and his madness of overcoming death, whatever consequences there may be.

Most scenes are in the Arkham faculty, some at Dan's apartment. This also enhances the madness of it all, with a regular setting where usually nothing wrong could happen.

The "gore" SFX still are vivid in my mind. So OK more modern SFX are done now, but those rubber body parts with liters of blood were really efficient, and I'll add "physical". Those computer generated very often lack the practical physicality of holding a severed hand or head they do now (must be a challenge for the actors to interact with nothing beside a green sceen.

Overall these elements create a powerfully entertaining movie.
