Those are good links that Copenhagen provided. If you decide to get it, I (along with many others in those threads) will recommend getting Elite's Re-Animator Millennium Edition.

Yes. In other words, if you like gore and tongue in cheek yet still high impact horror, Re-animator is a friggin' classic. The 2 disc set is a fans dream.

Welcome! Since this is asking about the movie, not the DVD release, I'm moving it to Movie Talk.

Hey, Mutley Hyde...are you sure that you meant tongue in CHEEK?
(sorry...couldn't resist being the first to comment on the most famous scene in the movie). See the DVD Savant Review for a better pun.

So if I liked Dead-Alive/Braindead (unrated, of course), then I'll like Re-Animator? Just curious.

Re-Animator. Any fans?

Anyone still a big fan of the movie whether you're a Lovecraft fan or just started getting into Stuard Gordon movies?

This morning in the mail i got the 2 disc Anchor Bay DVD of Re-Animator and been wanting the movie. Only saw it once decades ago renting the old VHS from a small video rental store.

Also is Bride of Re-Animator any good?

Re: Re-Animator. Any fans?

I remember liking it a lot but it's been a while. I enjoy horror movies that unabashedly having comedy as a big part of what they're doing, too.

Yea, this is one of those movie that I am a sucker for buying multiple DVD and Blu rays of. I even owned the VHS of it.

Re: Re-Animator. Any fans?

Re-Animator is one of the greatest horror films ever made.

Bride isn't quite as good but the FX work by Screaming Mad George is excellent and I've always had the hots for Kathleen Kinmont.

Beyond is best never mentioned.

Re: Re-Animator. Any fans?

While I'm generally not a big a fan of gore, I freakin' love Re-Animator. Great mixture of horror and comedy.

I also recommend checking out Gordon's From Beyond (also adapted from Lovecraft) as well.

Re: Re-Animator. Any fans?

First time i ever heard of Re Animator was way back in the mid 1990s when Sy Fy Channel known as Sci Fi Channel would air Bride of ReAnimator alot but Sci Fi Channel was one of those extra channels that you had to subscribe to so I missed out on alot of stuff including the Tremors tv show

Re: Re-Animator. Any fans?

Im still happy that I finally have Re-Animator especially that I have the 2 disc Anchor Bay DVD set, Thatll keep me busy for the rest of October.

How is Bride of Re-Animator anyway?

I heard news and rumors about that House of Re Animator which West is supposed to resurrect a President of the USA?
