Jeffrey Combs in H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator.
None of the screencaps include the copious amounts of gore, nudity, nor anything really disturbing.
Oh hi. This. Isn't. What. It looks like.
Unless you think it looks like I'm trying to re-animate my professor's corpse then....it is.
At least Herbert West scrubs-up well.
Grrrr. I shall intimidate you by snapping my pencils.
And if you think I'll run out. You're wrong. You're so wrong...
Anyway, another medical student, 80s McHandsome, is looking for a roommate. Guess who answers the ad!
The scene of discovering the dead cat in Herbert's fridge gives us one of cinema's greatest lines:
What would a note say, Dan? Cat dead. Details later.
One day John Watson will receive a text just like that. To which he will respond, "What cat?"
Anyway.
INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING TIEMS!
Just beat an undead cat from your creepy roommates back? Going to re-re-animate it? That's cause for snuggles, right?
Eep! We made an evil zombie! Hold me!
Eep! Now the zombie is attacking the dean! Hold me!
Fuck it. Herbert knows how to deal with evil zombie!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
Hey, since our last resurrection worked so well, let's try re-animating the dean! It'll totally work out now.
Well, it doesn't.
Nothing going on here, officer. Just inappropriately groping my roommate.
80s McHandsome goes into shock. Herbert gives him a blanket and comforts him.
n'aaaaaw
And even as Herbert is being dragged off by the Big Bad Monster at the end during the final battle sequence, 80s McHandsome desperately scrambles for his hand...
I'll never let go, Jack! I'll never let go!
WARNING: BIT GORY CAP AHEAD
even with my decapitation squick, I thought the bit where he can't get the head to sit upright in the pan was fucking hilarious.
Then last night watched through Netflix streaming another Lovecraft based movie made by the same director with some of the same actors, From Beyond. That was pretty awesome, too. Great creature effects for the time.
