Re-Animator (1985)

US Ignite Films 2 disc 4K UHD and Blu-ray edition - region all

40 Years Anniversary edition



Absolute Horror Classic and one of the rather few examples when Horror actually works
coupled with humour.


With the one and only Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West in an unforgettable performance,
with David Gale, Bruce Abbot and the luscious Barbara Crampton as one of the most
memorable Scream Queens of the 1980's here seen in all of her Topless glory.

Sure, the effects looks very 1980's but I prefer that before the awful CGI that are used
today. Better a rubber intestine than an AI one.
Re-Animator is GREAT FUN. It's snappy and fast and don't overstay it's it's welcome.
You're sucked into it's maelstrom of crazyness which makes it a horror classic.
Another example of a horror movie that works excellently with comedy is i.a. "Killer
Clowns from Outer Space"
