Tagline: Death Is Just The Beginning...
Plot: Herbert West (Jeffery Combs) has found the secret to eternal life--or so he thinks. West needs fresh cadavers to continue his experiments in the re-animation of dead tissue, so he enlists the help of young medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) to steal bodies from the local morgue. Despite all the warning signs of failure, the eccentric West's research continues. The results are crazed zombies that roam the streets, severed heads that talk, murder, madness, and chaos, all in the name of science, of course. Director Stuart Gordon's film debut, an adaptation of the short story by H.P. Lovecraft, is a masterpiece of ghoulish fun. Graphic special effects, good scripting, and perfectly over-the-top performances make RE-ANIMATOR a classic horror film in the tradition of THE EVIL DEAD and RETURN OF THE LIVING

 Campy, over-the-top stuff works from the beginning to the gore packed finale.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
A real classic horror-comedy that blew audiences away when it was released, unrated, in 1985, "Re-Animator" represented a pinnacle in a renaissance of horror during the Reagan era. At the time this was the goriest, most daring horror film in existence.-- (eSplatter.com)
This is an excellent bloody disgusting movie. It has several blood dripping corpses, one with his guts hanging out and intestines with a mind of their own.  --Mr. Wicked (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
