The Re-Animator (1985)

Synopsis: People say that there are two certainties in life: Taxes and Death. Well Herbert West has discovered a way to defeat one of them, and it's not taxes. He has created a serum that defeats death and brings about, well, re-animation to dead things. But it's not all great because when people come back to life, they come back without their brains. Well, their brains are there but....you know what I mean. Things go to hell when West decapitates his medical school's department head when that guy tries to steal West's work. I don't know why, but West gives him the serum and the head comes back to life and then owns West. The head and the body go to revive more bodies in attempts to take over the world! Well maybe not the world but definitely do evil things. And it's up to West and his fellow student Dan Cain to stop the madness!

Should You Watch It? Even for a movie that was made in 1985 they managed to do a great job with the gore and special effects. The dead guy holding his own head! That will never get old. The story line is pretty deep as well, not only dealing with issues of raising the dead but also with relationships and trying to defeat nature, and stuff like that. But seriously all you need to know that if you like horror and gore and nudity then yeah go watch it.

Things to Watch Out For: This movie uses Music and Sound pretty great. I heard that it took the soundtrack from Psycho which would explain it. But even the special effects was pretty great. There is a lot of gore ahaha but it's done all very well. Overall, all you need to know about this movie is that it's pretty grim and it doesn't skimp on anything.

Things You Don't Expect: The acting is pretty good in this film. I think this is a B movie but it's a really well done B movie.
