Re-Animator

Amazon.com

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

A poor horrorfilm that misuses Lovecraft's name far beyond acceptable limits .......2007-08-15

I had actually never seen "Re-animator", strangely enough, seeing that I've been an avid reader of HPL's tales since far back into my youth. I don't know why really, but it had always given me a bad feeling when I heard people talk about what a great "splatter" it was. Granted, "Braindead" is a funny movie in many respects, but then again, that doesn't say "H. P. Lovecraft's" on the cover. Two friends came over and we started the movie, I quickly realized though, that this has as much to do with HPL as the semitically correct film version of "The Lord of the Rings" have to do with Tolkien's wonderful world.

The film portrays Herbert West, medical student and obsessed with research on re-animation, that being the idea that you can bring someone back from the dead through science and chemistry. He convinces a fellow student to join him in his research, ever pushing the boundaries of the law in their quest for the perfect dead body to revive, but never finding one that's "quite fresh enough". When they involve two of the professors at their university, including the daughter of one of them, she being the fiancé of the helper, everything goes to hell. Being a horror-film, you can imagine what goes wrong, from West's point of view. This is also a so-called "horror-comedy", something that I could hardly loathe more, so I might not be the right person to judge this movie, but I'll give it a go, since I spent an hour and a half watching it.

There's really very little in the film that has anything with HPL to do at all, so I'm quite certain that if Lovecraft had any kind of "estate", the way other famous deceased authors often had, this film would never have been made out to be based on his amusing and above average horror tale. It contains excessive and meaningless nudity and erotic scenes that add nothing to the tale, apart from making it even more meaningless. The only reason I'm not giving it 1 star, is because it DOES have a FEW amusing lines and also the face of one of the legion of bodies that eventually starts to roam the film is quite hilarious, you'll know it when you see it. The bonus-material was to me only minor, and I almost wish I had gotten the censored version, something you'll understand a little while into the movie.

All in all, a poor "horror film" that isn't scary at all, and is generally a waste of time, in addition to being an insult to the intelligence of our great radically conservative American-English author, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, may he rest in peace.

They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore... DANG!.......2007-08-10

Campier than thou - and more fun than your significant other tickling your feet. And why Barbara Crampton is not recognized as one of the most beautiful, hip and sexy actresses to ever grace the silver screen is BEYOND me. This is a DVD worth owning - and watching often.

Re-animate me!.......2007-08-06

Once again, a great movie for any fan of horror/comedy. I particularly like the syringe highlighter freebee I got purchasing reissue on dvd, awesome.

Re-Animator With Documentary is Great!.......2007-07-21

The added bonuses included with this version of Re-Animator are worth the price of admission! The 70 plus documentary "Re-Animator Ressurectus" was excellently put together and includes almost entirely new never before seen shots of storyboards, behind the scenes stills and of course interviews with nearly the entire team that made this film.
I can state that this is the real deal! I'm part of that team and this is the first look back at Re-Animator that got it right!

Product Description

The mad Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs), the tormented Dr. Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott), and the beheaded Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) return in this terrifying sequel to Re-Animator, the most deliriously outrageous horror movie of the decade.

It's been eight months since the Miskatonic Massacre stained the halls with blood-and Dr. West and Dr. Cain's experiments have taken a bizarre turn. Now they have gone beyond re-animating the dead...into the realm of creating new life. The legs of a hooker and the womb of a virgin are joined to the heart of Dr. Cain's dead girlfriend-and the bride is unleashed upon her mate in a climax of sensual horror.

Lovecraft's "Frankenstein".......2006-12-29

Well, basing this on the quality of Lovecraft screenplays, and taking into account the budget et al, this movie definitely holds its own. It's not the genre's fault that the only people brave enough to pick up the ultimate master of horror's gauntlet are the lower budget variety (sorry, Gordon and Yunza, no offense intended). Of course Jeffry Combs steals the show, as usual. This movie is loosely based on Herbert West, Reanimator, and does have a very well done Lovecraftian mood throughout the whole film. Defintely one of the "must watch" movies in the Lovecraft arena. Watch it, buy it, own it. Three tentacles up!

Enjoyable follow-up to a cult classic!.......2005-11-10

After the original, Herbert West ( Jeffery Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot)have returned from medical miltary duty in South America as they return back home as they have perfected their re-agent formula to continue experimentint. But Herbert however gets an idea to collect body parts especially the heart of Cain's old girlfriend "Meg" to create the perfect re-animated woman, however Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) has been re-animated back to life by accident as he still has powers to control zombies and want revenge for what West did to him.

Not as great as the 1985 cult horror comedy masterpiece "Re-Animator" but really enjoyable! the acting is kind of average but there's nice splatter in this movie including a variety of odd re-animated critters like a finger creature with a human eye attached done by Screaming Mad George, David Allen (Puppet Master, Q The Winged Serpant and Young Sherlock Holmes). Like the original movie this has dark humor to propell along with gruesomeness, all in all is that it's not a bad follow-up but still worth watching.

This DVD is pratically bareboned with a alright transfer with no trailer! but that's ok, if you enjoyed the original then you'll probably like this one as well.

"You made me!!".......2005-09-30

A little time has passed and Miskatonic University has returned to a semblance of normalcy. Somehow or other Doctors Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) are back practicing medicine and mayhem in the halls of the college hospital. Megan Halsey, Cain's love from the first re-animator file lies dying and Cain is desperate to save her life - in a normal fashion. West, of course, has no such compunctions. He's down in their basement lab working on a whole new approach for gluing bits together (if you watch carefully, this film is rife with Frankenstein references).

The initial phases of the film are predictable, and every bit as hokey as the first, classic film. West scavenges parts where he may and glues them together in strange combinations. Lt. Chapham (Claude Jones) stalks the two medicos, determined to expose them for the fiends that drove his wife insane. And Dr. Graves (Mel Stewart) the coroner manages to revitalize Dr. Carl Hill's (David Gale) head and fix it up so that it can fly like a bat. In the midst of all this madness, Francesca Danelli (Fabiana Udenio) struts about being beautiful and partially undressed. Just like old times.

But suddenly the film takes a deeper turn during the frantic final sequences. Megan's head is used to complete Dr. Hill's eerie bride, and all the comedy replays the same serious questions that Mary Shelley's story raised a long time before. Is challenging the divine power of creation within man's capacity? What does the creator owe to one brought into existence. West refers to his creations as useless bits of tissue, but it is clear that they are not. The mixture of ethics and frantic humor is surprisingly engaging, and this film is almost as good as Re-animator. Take a look if you're in the mood for something strange.

Budget Edition( Read: Minimal Extras).......2005-09-23

Whilst this DVD looks like it is a direct transfer from a Vestron Video tape, with new credits for some of the recent companies( Vestron went bust, I heard), the DVD is a decent watch, and has everything I loved and vaguely remember.
Unless there is something done in the recovered edition that I am unaware of for REANIMATOR, West is NOT killed, and Megan Halsey is not saved ... Megan most definitely dies, and she may be reanimated, but then it is conceivable that someone had dismembered her in death if her reanimation was partial( especially since Megan's heart is separated, but it may be a convenient plot point, however... WHO CARES ?? ). What is really aggravating about this budget disc, is that the extras are clearly available, but if you check out the other disc reference for BRIDE OF, the prices are outrageous ... especially when REANIMATOR MILLENNIUM EDITION has a bundle of goodies with it, and is virtually the same or comparable price as the minimalist BRIDE OF REANIMATOR.
The FX are great. Screaming Mad George, and the other FX people do a superb job, even with the over the top Bat winged head of Dr Hill . The elements are virtually seemless.
For the nature of the story, it is quite a decent piece of work.
At worst it is a very fun popcorn film, at best, it is a fun horror-comedy that has "Dr West" spouting many dead-pan and funny lines that totally work with an actor like Jeffrey Coombs.
The So-called Nudity is extremely minimal; the gore is not excessive, and is always in context ( what do you expect when an arterial line is severed????), and basically it works.
It's not as good as the original, nor BEYOND, but it is a great fun piece... or pieces, and dare I say, a cut above the rest that gets under your skin :-)

"This is not just about re-animating the dead anymore. We can create new life!".......2005-07-18

I Love the Re-Animator films simply because of the hidden element of humor they contain. We try not to laugh at some of the cheesy zombie moments because we want to stay in a serious frame of mind but it's hardly possible when the zombies begin making one-liners and it becomes horribly noticeable that Herbert West is extremely dumb for a smart person. (I hope that makes since.) This movie takes place months after the Miskatonic Massacre in Arkham Massachusetts. West and Dan Cain are taking advantage of their new surrounding in a civil war in South America. Being doctor gives them access to all the dead bodies, fresh subjects, that can be used in their re-animation experiments. When things get bad, West and Cain pack up their bags and head back to Arkham. Here they become doctors at the local hospital, yet again very fortunate. This is where things begin to take off. West is stealing body parts and trying to get Dan to help him create a sort of Frankenstein monster. The real kicker is that the heart used for the gruesome experiment is the heart of Dan's deceased lover Meg. Unknowingly another doctor at the morgue, whom found a bottle of West's re-agent the night of the massacre, once again re-animates Dr. Hill from the first film. Hill wants revenge on West and in the final climax of the film when West and Cain's Frankenstein creation is born, Hill arrives to "crash" the party. This film is rather entertaining and extremely good for gore lovers. The only thing i wasn't so fond of at first is the fact that in the last movie they were struggling just to re-animate corpses and in this film they've actually made the transition of life creating. That would be cool but in the next film in the series West is pretty much back to Re-animation rather than recreation. So i'm gathering he didn't find his previous exploits successful. And is it just me or does Herbert West die at the end of each movie? If he's dead, how's there a sequel? They've worn this gimmick out. But rest assure Re-Animator fans, how much longer can it be until Jeffrey Combs dons the glasses and picks up the needle again? A sequel is long over due.

Awful.......2007-04-07

This movie is awful, terrible, and has no redeeming value. This is much like the original Reanimator. I loved it! Okay, the acting may have not been Oscar worthy and the plot was kind of stupid, but it had Herbert West up to his experiments again. If you want Gone With the Wind, why even bother reading reviews of this type of film. If you want a camp culture classic with no social value and plenty of gore and pointless shots of the totally unsympathetic heroine's fishnets, this is it! Gotta love it.

A BOMB of a flick except for a few good gore effects.......2007-03-13

This sequel to a horror classic started out ok, but by the middle, none of it mattered anymore, I even got a bit tired of the well done gore effects because I had to sit through scenes of a severed [...] and rat duking it out! The original "ReAnimator" is a great flick to see if you want excellent and original gore effects as well as a creepy storyline, but this sequel just stinks.

The Doctor Is In(sane)... .......2006-06-04

Jeffrey Combs returns once more as Dr. Herbert West, mad scientist and iconic miscreant! This time he's operating from behind bars, using his nefarious expertise to capture the life-force from the prison's rodent population. Of course, things just wouldn't be right if he didn't start re-animating human corpses as well! With the help of the new prison doc, West begins his work on the inmates and the sadistic warden. A nosey (and beautiful) gal reporter snoops about until her curiosity gets her killed. Then, it's Dr. West to the rescue! Lots of gushy gore, drool, and minor nekkidness. Watch for the severed, re-animated male member vs. the zombie rat during the end credits! Eeegads!...

Miserable acting, horrible script, inane directing........2006-01-29

What a mind-numbingly inept end chapter to a series that began with the greatest horror-comedy of all time, The Re-Animator. Continuing in his deluded quest to claim the Re-Animator series for his own, and to convince us that he can direct, producer Brian Yuzna has managed the opposite. Beyond Re-Animator merely confirms what was evident about the Yuzna-directed Bride of Re-Animator, that Yuzna knows nothing about directing actors and story.

As with Dagon, Yuzna seems to have secured financing from Spanish sources for this film. Unfortunately, the problem is that they also tried to force in a mostly Spanish cast. This is a story set in Massachusetts, for crying out loud -- why would the warden of the prison, the reporter coming to cover the story, the guards, and a good 90 per cent of the inmates all have Spanish accents? It wouldn't be as howlingly horrible if these guys could act, but they can't. Simon Andreu as Warden Brando and Elsa Pataky as love interest Laura Olney get the most screentime of anyone in the cast, but their acting is so bad, and their ADR-afflicted lines so glaringly off, that they manage to sink the film every time they open their mouths. Yuzna seems to pick his leading ladies based on their willingness to take off their clothes (witness the gratuitous "nurse nipple" scene in this film, or Fabiana Udenio and Kathleen Kinmont in Bride of Re-Animator), and Pataky makes for one of the most unsympathetic love interests I can remember.

But even Pataky and Andreu pale in incompetence next to that blustery, seething mass of bad acting that is leading man Jason Barry. Based on Yuzna's shoddy history with actors, one might be tempted to blame it on the director, but the fact is that in this film, Jason Barry is incapable of pulling off a single believable moment, basic elementary acting. His every internal and external beat rings false, his dialogue delivery sounds like a cold reading, and even his basic body movements look like amateur theatre. Most high-school students do better than this. Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West, seasoned pro that he is, gamely plays along, but the script puts West's character so far off to the sideline in favour of the vomit-inducing Pataky-Andreu axis that Combs is unable to save this film.

On a strictly technical level, the cinematography looks good, the score is all right (though often too serious-minded for its own good), and the film doesn't look low-budget. But when the "story" is such a mess and the actors so inept, no amount of slick lighting and camera moves can save a film. Yuzna really should stick with producing, because on the Stuart Gordon-directed Dagon, at least there were some good moments. But Beyond Re-Animator is beyond salvaging, possibly the worst film sequel I've ever seen, and way up there in the list of worst films I've ever subjected myself to.

see it if only for the music video.......2006-01-26

Yes, the original Re-Animator and it's sequel, Bride of Re-Animator, are very cheesy and of course Beyond Re-Animator is probably the cheesiest by far, but I still love them! Jeffrey Combs was born to play Dr. Herbert West, forever on the quest of developing a re-animation agent.

We find Dr. West in prison in this chapter, for the atrocities that occurred in the last movie. He doesn't quite fit in with the other cell mates, he is too sophisticated and too strange a man. His dull prison life is soon interrupted when a new doctor, whose sister was killed by one of West's "patients", becomes part of the staff and wants Dr. West to assist him.

Together they assemble a lab and begin to develop the re-animation serum along with trying to perfect a new part of the process which transfers the missing essence of one's soul into the patient- hypothetically making them act more like people and less like zombies. Of course it doesn't quite work and chaos ensues.

Beyond Re-Animator is great fun, especially if you don't take it too seriously. It is easy to root for Dr. Herbert West as he tries once again to successfully re-animate the dead. Jeffrey Combs is brilliant and the prison makes for a great atmosphere. Rats are also featured quite hilariously in the movie, which is personally a favorite little creature of mine. There are a few extras on the DVD, including an awesomely bad music video called something like "Re-Animate You Feet" or "Move Your Dead Bones". If you like bad horror movies then this one is for you.

Description

"LovecraCked! The Movie", the debut feature film from BiFF JUGGERNAUT Productions, is a horror/comedy anthology, inspired in part by influential author H.P. Lovecraft ("Re-Animator"). Following in the tradition of George A. Romero's "Creepshow" and "Tales From The Crypt", the film is an international collaboration of directors from the USA, UK and Sweden, combining over-the-top comedy Ã la "Monty Python" with bone-chilling horror, to have you clutching your gut one moment and cringing the next.

Plot Synopsis: With tongue planted firmly in cheek, our story follows the exploits of a bumbling investigative journalist as he struggles to discover the truth behind the enigmatic Lovecraft and his mysterious past. Along the way strange and macabre tales play out, pulling the reporter ever deeper into the mystical world of the author. Will the journalist finally prevail or will he end up without a clue as usual? One thing's for sure: the truth is out there... he's just not entirely sure where.

Different Venue for Horror Spoof.......2007-07-30

Presented as an anthology of stories loosely tied together through vignettes featuring an investigative reporter researching the life and writings of horror/fantasy author H. P. Lovecraft, LOVECRACKED! THE MOVIEis sometimes amusing, but often is too hard to follow or falls flat. There are some truly brilliant, wacky pieces throughout the movie, but not enough of them.

I'd tried to watch the movie twice before I finally got through it on the third attempt. Earlier, I figured the problem was me. I was distracted, too tired from work to concentrate, or really in the mood for something that was easy to get into. But I had the same problems the third time through. The movie is so disjointed in places that it's almost like channel-surfing captured on DVD, although the stories all have to do with some aspect of Lovecraft, his work, or his Cthulhu Mythos so as not to be completely disjointed.

The stories featured on the DVD only pay passing homage to Lovecraft's work. Key pieces and conceits were borrowed or cannibalized but the new stories didn't really push into the deep thinking that lay behind those tales. Even though the movie is about Lovecraft, we don't really get to know the author. There's just not enough factual material in the presentation for someone unfamiliar with Lovecraft's fiction to get the paradigm behind the pieces. There was no discussion as to why the writers, actors, and directors show the path they took to create their films.

The parts of the movie that really work are the ones that are over-the-top. I loved the investigative reporter shtick and would often laugh out loud at the actor's antics. He had some really good stuff, and he was great with his expressions and dialogue delivery. He has a good sense of timing.

But there were several stories within the movie that just never connected, not with the rest of the movie and not with the audience. I often found myself scratching my head and wondering what it was I had just seen. Or why I was supposed to care.

Case in point was a story about the guy whose ex-lover sent him a marriage announcement. He grew angry with her and obsessed over what she was doing with her fiancé. So, somehow, he mutated into a Bugboy. He entered a cocoon and managed to metamorphose at the same time she happened to come by to check on him because she was worried about him. This section is shot in black and white, which is effective, but the prosthetic makeup is a complete joke. Plus you don't really care about any of the characters.

Many of Lovecraft's own stories were hard to understand, contained characters the reader could not identify with, and didn't have real endings. Maybe this was a pastiche representing those kinds of stories. Unfortunately, I can't confidently reach that decision based on my viewing.

A lot of people really liked Shaun of the Dead. I didn't. I felt that movie had some highlights that were worth watching, but that it missed the boat on delivering a solid film experience. So maybe it's just me. Maybe the audience that enjoyed that film will enjoy LovecraCked! The Movie. It's watchable but just so very uneven that I believe it will depend on the individual as to whether or not it's enjoyable. But it's worth looking at to find out for yourself.

Stuart Gordon's first is a must see. Definitely If your big on horror, If yout not well don't. Great film that's totally over the top but in the way that it should be. It has it's oh s@*t moments. The effects in this movie are great to this day, ofcourse they are. They were never bad effects to begin with. The story is obviously great and is based on H.P Lovecraft's series of stories , Herbert West The Re-Animator. The acting, direction, and cinematography is to die for. I'd say it's a hell of a film premiere. I'd be proud to hail this as my film If I'd directed it. I'm sure Stuart Gordon is. If your into movies like Scanners, The Thing , Return Of The Living Dead, or any of Romero's zombie films check this out. Definitely If your someone who likes vintage horror movies.

It's been eight months since the Miskatonic Massacre stained the halls with blood - and Dr. West and Dr. Cain's experiments have taken a bizarre turn. Now they have gone beyond re-animating the dead...into the realm of creating new life. The legs of a hooker and the womb of a virgin are joined to the heart of Dr. Cain's dead girlfriend - and the bride is unleashed upon her mate in a climax of sensual horror. Special Features include: Audio commentaries. Deleted scenes. Never-before-seen behind the scenes footage. Detailed coverage of the make-up effects. Never before seen photographs. Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, David Gale
