What happens when an ambitious medical student discovers a way to bring the dead back to life?
Well, if you’ve ever watched a horror movie, you already know the answer is probably nothing that’s going to improve the university’s accreditation.
Today we’re looking at Stuart Gordon’s gloriously unhinged 1985 horror-comedy RE-ANIMATOR, starring Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West — a man who takes the phrase “publish or perish” in a wildly inappropriate direction.
Based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft, Re-Animator is a wonderfully nasty combination of mad science, zombies, pitch-black comedy, practical effects, buckets of bodily fluids, and Jeffrey Combs staring at everyone like he’s personally disappointed by their commitment to medical research.
It’s gruesome. It’s ridiculous. It’s enormously entertaining.
And Herbert West may be one of the greatest examples in horror history of a man who encounters every possible warning sign and responds:
“Interesting. Let’s inject it with more glowing green stuff.”
