A very twisted, absurd and immensely entertaining horror film. From the first sequence you already realize how bizarre this will be. I loved the jumpy music in this film and it matched the colorful and creative opening credit scene perfectly. The visual effects as well as the make up used in gory scenes still hold up very well and I found them creepy and effective. Re-Animator really has a lot of gore, being also constantly hilarious. There were many times I just couldn't believe what was happening and how the story kept getting weirder and crazier as the film progressed. Jeffrey Combs as the mad scientist was terrific and the whole cast did a solid work as well. Re-Animator is one of the most imaginative and funny horror films I've seen in a long time and I highly recommend it!

Now where the fuck do I begin???

This is a classic right here, and I'm surprised this is my first time watching this! From beginning to end it was fantastic.
Fun movie, you don't come across crazy/wild films like this.

Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) has this crazy look in his eye, MY GOD, he was so sinister but in a smart/techy/scientist kind of way.

I love the green neon serum though.

I loved it. Must watch, rewatch, buy 103380325 copies.

Re-Animator is Frightening, gross, funny and very entertaining, the type of film you can watch and watch an never get tired of. Stuart Gordon adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft version of Frankenstein is a cult classic in every aspect.

If there is are top 10 creepy performances, Jeffrey Combs must be in that list. Combs performances is unsettling as a "mad scientist" with an obsession. Stuart Gordon knew what he had in his hands, he never try to do more with the material than necessary, this are campy and over the top performances that in the context of Re-Animator worked.

The story is not groundbreaking, but add, the performance of Jeffrey Combs, some of the best 80's make-up effects and disturbing imaginary and you have a classic midnight horror film.

Not as good as I hoped, but still a fun enough horror film. The story is unique, there is great gore along with some funny moments and although the film moves a bit slow, there are still flashes of awesomeness. The ending is a full fledged zombie film which was nice. So, this is a pretty unique horror film thats second half is much better than its first.

Još jedan pseudo-znanstveni SF koji nije toliko dobar koliko bi mogao biti. Ovaj je još i horor komedija. Ocjena (odnosno pola jer je ovdje skala samo do 5) više zbog scene gdje dekapitirana glava liže ženske cice.

Completely over the top and ridiculous, just like the decade it's from. This film literally screams the 80's. If you can handle the Wisconsin amounts of cheese you'll have fun with it like I did.

Why did I not watch this until today? Soo good!! Anyone have an opinion on the sequels?

Instantly became a favorite 80s horror in an incredibly crowed party.

This was better than I expected it to be. I'm not sure why I had low expectations going in, but that happened. Thank you Mr. Doug Tilley for getting me to watch this. I don't regret it.

Looking at it now from a prism of "torture porn" (which it certainly is not) the over the top elements don't feel gratuitous in the least. The excess grime and depravity is part of the charm. I found myself surprisingly moved by the final shot (which renders the final scream either achingly sad or masochistically exuberant). It's messy in color but clean in structure.
