While Re-Animator fails as a faithful adaptation of Lovecraft, it is an incredibly demented movie in its own right that combines a plethora of downright disgusting grand guignol with disturbing black humor.

A bloody fun time for those with strong stomachs.

This is one of the greatest films ever made. Period. It's outrageous, erotic, gory, jaw-dropping, genre-busting ,shocking, and altogether exhilarating filmmaking.

A deliciously gross horror movie for horror movie fans, director Stuart Gordon's tour de force adapts a series of H.P. Lovecraft stories into a creepy, disquieting comedy.

It still gets copied today (and who can blame them?).

Stuart Gordon doesn't just push the envelope of good taste with this one; he tears right through it.

It's sweet when a classic lives up to its legend, isn't it?

The injection of humour into HP Lovecraft's 1922 tale is what saves this splatterfest from being mere fodder for gorehounds.

Richly dark and inventive horror film.
12/04/02
A giddy, gory horror-comedy filled with audaciously grotesque special effects and witty black humor.

All of this, ingenious as it may be and much as it will redound to Mr. Gordon's credit in hard-core horror circles, is absolutely to be avoided by anyone not in the mood for a major bloodbath.

Top CriticA clever, madcap mid-80s cult classic combining sinister comedy with bloody horror.
