Re-Animator (1985)

Herbert West: You'll never get credit for my discovery. Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow. "Herbert West Has A Very Good Head On His Shoulders. And Another One In A Dish On His Desk" Re-Animator definitely is deserving of the high praise it has received. It's definitely more of a cult horror film then anything else, with a lot of campy acting, loads of blood and disgusting images, and an amazing and bizarre character in Herbert West. I've been meaning to get to this film for a long time and I'm glad I finally gave it a look. It's a fun and interesting movie, and may be the closest to perfection a film has come in nailing the mad scientist character. Herbert West, a young medical student, arrives at the same University as students Dan and Megan. Both are extremely dedicated to their work and studies. This is all interrupted though by the arrival of West, who moves into Dan's apartment. Soon, Dan and Megan realize that the experiments West is doing are not the average students experiments. He's bringing back dead animals and before long, maybe human beings as well. I loved Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West. He's really what made this movie so great. His performance is definitely campy and bizarre, but it also is a great mad scientist performance; maybe even one of the best ever. The movie was only going to be as good as this character was presented and the direction of Stuart Gordon and the performance from Combs bring out the most in Lovecraft's interesting mad scientist. This is obviously one that I can't recommend enough to all horror and film fans alike. It's a movie that is really rewarding because of how fun and well done it is, while appearing to be nothing more than a B-movie, cult film. Re-Animator is a classic of the horror genre and will stand as an important film in the genre.

This is a dream. It's fiction.

Cat dead. Details later.

I must say, Dr. Hill, I'm very disappointed in you. You steal the secret of life and death and here you are, trysting with a bubble-headed co-ed. You're not even a second-rate scientist.
