Ignite Films was kind enough to send me a copy of their new 40th Anniversary release of the 80s horror classic Re-Animator, and I got to write about it for Movies We Texted About!
The 1980s were perhaps the best decade for high-concept, low-budget, effects-driven horror films. There are many examples, but one that has stood the test of time and become a cult classic for horror fans is Stuart Gordon’s 1984 feature Re-Animator. Based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft, it tells the story of a medical student who develops a reagent that can reanimate dead bodies. Originally released in 1985, the film stars Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, David Gale, Robert Sampson, and Barbara Crampton. Last month, Ignite Films has released a newly remastered UHD Blu-ray of the film. Let’s look closer and see if it lives up to the history and the hype.
