Tales from the Hood (1995)
It’s a sad fact of history that H.P. Lovecraft and Lucio Fulci did not team up to make the most amazing gore-sex grotesquerie of 1985. But thanks to Re-Animator, they didn’t have to.
Feeling like an amalgam of Frankenstein, The Beyond, and Revenge of The Nerds, Re-Animator stitches together the early-modern existential horror of its source material with hyperactive, Technicolor grossout technology to raise a new creature entirely. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a new student at Miskatonic University. He also moonlights as a mad scientist, intent on perfecting a serum that “re-animates” corpses. Soon, everyone wants a piece of the action, including an evil professor and his army of slime-covered deadites.
With berserker direction from Stuart Gordon, career-defining roles from horror icons Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs, and a scene of two adults chasing an undead cat in a basement, Re-Animator is an unrestrained, maximalist masterpiece.
