Re-Animator-Herbert West Has A Very Good Head On His Shoulders... And Another One In A Dish On His Desk

Herbert West comes from Austria after studying with a well known scientist who has just died. He begins conducting weird experiments in the basement of his roommates place. Eventually he brings his roommate and his roommates girlfriend into his experiments and reveals to them that he is working on bringing back the dead and he is most of the way there but he must start testing on human subjects or else he is stuck at a dead end. Soon Herbert is kick out of the school and his roommate must sneak him into the school to continue their experiments. But that's when things begin to go wrong.

I am disappointed in myself for not doing this movie sooner since it is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time and i personally like H.P Lovecraft's stories. I even have a book of his short stories and the way he writes isn't like most authors. It's more dark and eerier but you get the picture in your mind of what he is trying to describe pretty easily and i feel that his writing talents was transferred into the movie. The start of the movie is more humerus but when they begin re-animating the dead that's when the gore begins to start and the movie double sin its enjoyability. The acting in this was average but they made it like that for some laughs and the special effects were again some of my favorite. So i give this horror genre treasure 5 out of 5 severed heads.
