North Texas Film Festival 2019: Re-Animator Is Brazenly Weird Creepy Horror Fare And That's A Compliment

Don't bring things back to the dead. If I've learned anything from horror movies, beyond the importance of not going to that creepy campground on the tenth anniversary of the night all those counselors died, it's that trying to bring people back from the dead is a recipe for inevitable disaster. Ever since the days of Mary Shelley's original Frankenstein novel, scientists meddling in the process of resurrecting the deceased has always resulted in tragedy rather than Nobel Peace prizes. Nobody seems to realize this in the world of movie scientists but at least their inability to learn yields some fun movies like Re-Animator.
