Day Seven: Re-Animator

The second film on the list with a connection to Lovecraft. The first was Evil Dead II with its usage of the “Necronomicon” and this one based on the story “Herbert West-Reanimator”. What we have here is something so wrong on so many levels and yet so right.

This movie checks off so many boxes it’s ridiculous. Mad scientists? check, reagent serum? check, zombies? check, nudity? over the top violence? gore? check, check, check! and oh yeah…a lovely cat named Rufus, Check!
