Re-Animator (1985)
6/10
Gory black comedy without any tension or suspense.
3 July 2017
Saw this in the early 90s on a VHS. Revisited it recently on a DVD. To b honest, i didn't njoy this then n found it to b boring n comedic now. It was a low-budget film n definitely a different flavor of zombie film. The plot- Combs is a medical student obsessed with body reanimation. He teams up with another student, so the two of them can continue their experiments. Director Stuart Gordon managed to show good decapitations, reanimated cats, fingers bitten off, drills bored through the chests of corpses and attacks by zombie but all in a very comedic tone. He was not able to create any tension or suspense. Barbara Crampton's topless scene was a small treat in this otherwise non horror black comedy.
