Editorial Review:
Stuart Gordon's adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Herbert West: Re-Animator puts a Night of the Living Dead spin on the classic Frankenstein story. Jeffrey Combs furrows his brow and bugs his eyes as the preternaturally intense Herbert West, a maverick medical student whose gory, gooey experiments cause bloody corpses and body parts to jerk to life. Bruce Abbot is the studious roommate drawn into his extracurricular experiments, which soon involve the dean's daughter (the frequently naked Barbara Crampton) and the college's cadaverous, calculating star professor (David Gale), who literally loses his head over a battle for West's discovery. In this world, that's only a minor setback. Charged with sick gallows humor and a ghoulish gallery of undead beasties, Re-Animator, like Evil Dead II, is one of the most inspired and inventive--and funniest--horror films of the 1980s. Combs, Abbot, and Gale reunite for the almost-as-entertaining sequel Bride of Re-Animator. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Far better than what I expected
After seeing From Beyond for the very first time recently. I was encouraged by a few amazon friends to give this a watch. Some even claimed it was better. Well I agree with every word and I'm glad to add this into my horror collection. Re Animator is packed with over the top gore and dark comedy.
Jeffrey Combs stars as Herbert West. A mad scientist hell bent on bringing back the dead with a formula he created. His formula causes the subjects to go off in a berserker rage. His subjects ... Read More
Rating:  - Re-Animator
This deserves three and a half stars. If you enjoy a little schlock with your horror SciFi then you should definitely catch Re-Animator. Jeffrey Combs (Star Trek: DS-9, Voyager, Enterprise, etc.) is great and the rest the cast aren't bad. Your typical mad doctor brings the undead back to life to rip peoples heads and insides off. A bit grisly for those unacustomed to horror gore. The production values were not bad for a B movie. Overall a fun experience for teenagers and adults. Contains some nudity. ... Read More
Rating: - Good for a laugh
This a camp movie that's good for a laugh. Beware though, there are some pretty much gore and nudity in the movie. I wonder what H.P. would have thought.
Rating: - Re-Animator impresses!
Amazingly I hadn't seen this one until recently despite the fact that it appears on just about every list of essential horror films, but after a single viewing I could see why. Boasting some likable characters and a modest amount of gore, this movie really stands out from the slasher dominated 80's horror scene. That being said, I would not go as far as to call this a zombie film as many people do. Although reanimated corpses make an appearance, it is much more along the lines of a mad scientist type ...

Rating:  - you gotta love re-animator......but is it worth re-purchase???
i didnt know what to expect when i first saw this. i hadnt seen many horror comedys so i kept expecting it to streighten itself out and get freaky. as soon as i heard the openning theme which was a play off of the psycho theme i shold have known better.
re-animator is just nasty fun and highly re-watchable. i can easily see how it may have a following. the millenium edition is loaded! it looks and sounds perfect. easily the best release from elite entertainment with i spit on your grave coming ... Read More
