“Stuart Gordon’s enduring splatter classic riffs on many genres and defies logic, symbolic of most independent features from the '80s horror explosion, but supercharged by exceedingly well-written dialogue, "Re-Animator" ameliorates far above its counterparts. Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic terror tale ‘Herbert West – Reanimator’ and featuring dry, deadpan jokes aplenty, this zombie-laden, sexually graphic, insanely effective gorefest more than compensates for a lack of scientific exposition and plausibility in the plot, which centres on three students, one of whom advertises for a roommate and finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West, the deliciously deranged mad scientist of the title.

Movies I Watched in March 2020 (30 movies items)" Date: 3/25/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: Nearly 35 years later and this movie is still awesome. I loved this movie ever since I first saw it on Sci-Fi or TNT (I don't remember which one) when I was a kid in the mid-late 90s.

Go watch it if you haven't seen it already. RIP Stuart Gordon"

31 Days of Horror (Halloween) 2018 (31 movies items)" Date: 10/17/2018 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-watch Note: I loved this movie ever since I saw the movie on late night cable over 20 years ago. This movie still holds up well and everything about this movie is awesome. The story, characters, the gore, the dark humor and the over top violence makes this movie fantastic to watch. What has stuck with me through the years after seeing this movie so many times is just how impressive the special effects are. The effects looked just as impressive today as the"
