One of the best Lovecraft's interpretations to date.

'Re-Animator' is a classy 80's body horror that manages to balance comedy so well. There will never be anything like this again. Many will try, but those will be known "attempts".

Cat dead, details later.

Re-Animator has so many great moments! The ending, decapitated head giving head, the amazing sequence with all the re-animated bodies in the morgue, the way Dr. Herbert West drives that bone-saw through the first re-animated corpse's chest! The cat, every scene were the FX team show off how good they are!

Yes, the gore is amazing, almost everything looks so damn amazing and I always want to know how they did it. I think it so underrated sometimes these days because CGI but movies like Re-Animator shows us that practical effects still look damn amazing. In the end, Re-Animator is well worth the watch!

Ohhhhhhhhh Barbara Crampton..sooooooooooo...hottt!!!...want..to..touch..the hiney....Arooooooooooooooooooooooooo- Roooooof!!!!

It's been a while since I watched Re-Animator, and watching From Beyond the other day, made me want to watch Stuart Gordon's "other'" Lovecraft horror again.

This time around I watched the "Integral Cut", that has all the gore from the unrated cut intact, but also the extra dialogue scenes from the R-rated cut... and I loved it. It makes for a more fleshed out story, and you understand a bit more of the characters motives behind their actions.

Re-Animator is one of my all-time favourite horror comedies. There's no other film that made such an impact as this one did the first time I watched it. There are so many iconic scenes. Among them when West can't get Dr. Hills head to stand up in the tray and puts it on a spike, and who can forget the head between the Barbara Cramptons legs scene. Just brilliant!!!

I wonder when we'll get a 4K restoration of this one? ...because I want it!

And they were roommates.. :rainbow_flag:

Like steak tartare: you think it's gonna be classic but it just turns out to be raw meat.

After missing this one during its heyday back in the 80's, I found it on Tubi and decided to watch it. I made it through the first 20 minutes but found it just too dull, plodding, poorly-acted, etc. I learned about the - what I guess was "THE" scene - years ago (although I never saw it myself): [spoiler] something about the guy using his own decapitated head to give head to a female victim or whatever. [/spoiler] While there's a part of me that just wanted to watch the movie for that one scene, at this point in my life and going by the standards of quality movies available today, I just couldn't sit through everything else. I know what happens (in that one scene, mind you; nothing else) and I just can't get into the 80's easy-cheesy horror anymore. I turned it off around the 20-minute mark and have no intention of ever finishing it. Life is too short to waste it on bad coffee or bad movies.

I watched the Integral cut of the film and found it dragged at parts. The special effects were great, but it moved along a little too slowly for my liking and got repetitive rather quickly. Maybe the Unrated cut is better.

Easily the best of the Lovecraft adaptations so far. Still holds up, still such a blast. Great effects, great humor, great horror.

6.5 the severed head is acted well. The second half is funny, disturbing and camp. Only in the 80s can the cheesiest horror still be fun.
