SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Re-Animator, try these.

From Beyond poster 01

Movie / 1986 / Horror / Science Fiction / Fantasy

From Beyond

Why this pick

Another gleefully excessive Stuart Gordon Lovecraft adaptation: mad science, wet practical effects, pitch-black jokes, and a compact escalation from laboratory curiosity into outrageous body horror.

The Return of the Living Dead poster 02

Movie / 1985 / Comedy / Horror

The Return of the Living Dead

Why this pick

Its punky, fast-moving collision of splattery undead horror and irreverent comedy shares Re-Animator’s joy in pushing gruesome situations to deliriously funny extremes.

Society poster 03

Movie / 1989 / Comedy / Drama / Horror

Society

Why this pick

Brian Yuzna channels a similarly lurid, mischievous body-horror sensibility, beginning as suburban paranoia before unleashing elaborate practical grotesquerie and biting social satire.

Braindead poster 04

Movie / 1992 / Comedy / Horror

Braindead

Why this pick

A sweetly off-kilter romance is buried beneath an increasingly cartoonish avalanche of blood, monsters, and inventive practical carnage—ideal for Re-Animator’s anything-goes comic horror energy.

The Deadly Spawn poster 05

Movie / 1983 / Drama / Horror / Science Fiction

The Deadly Spawn

Why this pick

This scrappy creature feature has the same infectious affection for gooey practical monsters, medical-style carnage, and eccentric characters confronting an escalating impossible mess.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

At University of Zurich Institute of Medicine in Switzerland, Herbert West brings his dead professor, Dr. Hans Gruber, back to life. There are horrific side-effects, however; as West explains, the dosage was too large. When accused of killing Gruber, West counters: "I gave him life!"
