Directed by Stuart Gordon
Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a brilliant medical student who has perfected a green-glowing serum for regenerating life into dead things -- or even parts of dead things. But a corrupt superior, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), assumes control of West's experiments and winds up, by ghastly necessity, using the stuff on his own severed head and body. West and in-over-his-head co-worker Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) struggle to control the now out-of-control effects of the serum, but the bone-saws and zombies complicate their plans. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

"Director: Shawn KuUS, 22 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 5Despite a title sure to be at least partially tempting to any horror nut, Pretty Dead Girl: A Musical Necromance turns out to be rather tame. And if you could get the subject of necrophilia past the initial tsk-tsking of your grandma, there is a good chance that she would end up at film’s end thinking the movie was rather sad and sweet, and would hardly take offense at all to what " [More]

"Wow! Re-Animator, now re-issued is still exhilirating! If there's one thing that the Grindhouse teaches us, it is the sheer entertainment value that lower budget horror can provide- and Re-Animator is a purely enjoyable medical zombie romp! Being a huge fan of Peter Jackson's The Frighteners, I loved seing Jeffery Combs in another fantastic, eccentric, freaked-out role! And OH Barbara Gordon! LOL! Everyone who is into the Grindhouse, Evil Dead " [More]

"One of the greates horror films to come out of the 80's Re-animator is a sick, twisted and gory grand guigonol film. Withe the opening music that riffs off of hermann's psycho theme it has you hooked until the final scene. My favorite bit is still when dr Hill gives new meaning to giving head, and the intestine choling scene, this is a film for people with a sick sense of humor, so that has to be why i love this film.

"This is another blog post, not really a discussion idea, but since Dr. Gor has stated that we can post whatever we want, and in fact he will fight to the death any of you who don't like it, I decided what the hell. If no one has any problem, I think I might do this anytime I come across a movie that I think will be of particular interest to this group(I'm also posting it in my group The Film Library). I promise not " [More]

liked it.
This raw, bloody, low-budget horror-comedy was loosely based on stories by H.P. Lovecraft. The story deals with college med students reviving dead bodies with a serum which accidentally turns them into violent, bloodthirsty zombies. Jeffrey Combs is perfect as the obsessed Dr. West, and Bruce Abbott makes a good naive straight-man for Combs' nerdy lunatic. The late David Gale stands out as the jealous Dr. Hill, who ends up decapitated, then re-animated and wandering around with his head in his hands, only to perform a particularly foul act upon nude scream-queen Barbara Crampton. Director Stuart Gordon stages some impressive gore scenes and some very funny gallows humor; many consider Re-Animator as the best American splatter comedy of the '80s. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
