Re-Animator (Stuart Gordon, USA, 1985) August 20, 2006
Posted by Daniel Stephens in : Horror, Comedy, 1980s, Film reviews, Thriller/Suspense, Sci-fi/Fantasy , trackbackDir. Stuart Gordon; screenplay by Dennis Paoli; starring Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott
A cult favourite from the eighties, this gory, gratuitous comic-horror sees Combs’ Herbert Ross devise a method of bringing dead bodies back to life. It’s silly fun, never taking itself seriously, and has a brilliantly black-humoured conclusion. Jeffrey Combs is great as the ‘mad scientist’, and the special effects crew have a ball creating some of the excellent visual effects.
