Accompanying other classics in the “Year of the Zombie” in 1985, Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator is beyond brilliant. With its crazy comedy meshing amazingly well with the carnage, the Herbert West tale is one of the most beloved films in the history of horror.
Continuing its venture into US soil, UK company Arrow Video keeps impressing with its packaging and film selection. While they’ve always treated the British to brilliance, recently US fans have gotten a stunning 3-disc Donnie Darko, as well as a great House set featuring the first two films. The label’s also given us a nice Bride of Re-Animator set, the second film in the series.
