The Re-Animator (1985)

after i had heard so much about this movie and because i'm a big fan of Jeffrey Combs i had to see this classic.

the characters are mostly stereotypes but nonetheless absolutely fun to watch. the story is more or less a standard horror story but with some (little) surprises. the actors (mostly the evil guys =;) play their roles like they never played anything else!

it's old-fashioned - but what do you expect if you watch a movie which is 16 years old? and the 'horror' is not really frightening, even if it tries to..=;)

in tree words: a real classic

Zu diesem Klassiker muß man halt einen Bezug haben, es war schön, ihn mal wieder im Kino zu sehen, auch wenn Zahn der Zeit auch bei diesem Film genagt hat. Freue mich schon auf Bride of Re-Animator. Inwiefrn der Film jetzt allerdings länger war als in der R-rated Fassung aus Amiland kann ich nicht sagen!?

Now here we have Yuzna's masterpiece! Classical Lovecraft story, but change so severely to fit his scheme, we get a blood fest all over and Jeffrey Combs re-defining the role of mad scientists!

The soundtrack is awfull at the start but grew on me (see also my Bride... review)
