Re-Animator 1985

It's been a while since I watched Re-Animator, and watching From Beyond the other day, made me want to watch Stuart Gordon's "other'" Lovecraft horror again.

This time around I watched the "Integral Cut", that has all the gore from the unrated cut intact, but also the extra dialogue scenes from the R-rated cut... and I loved it. It makes for a more fleshed out story, and you understand a bit more of the characters motives behind their actions.

Re-Animator is one of my all-time favourite horror comedies. There's no other film that made such an impact as this one did the first time I watched it. There are so many iconic scenes. Among them when West can't get Dr. Hills head to stand up in the tray and puts it on a spike, and who can forget the head between the Barbara Cramptons legs scene. Just brilliant!!!

I wonder when we'll get a 4K restoration of this one? ...because I want it!
