Re-Animator (Special Edition) [DVD]

Look, if you don’t have a lab coat and a syringe of neon green fluid sitting on your nightstand, you’re already failing at life. But the least you can do—the absolute bare minimum for a man of culture—is put this 40th Anniversary 4K on your shelf. ​Forget the standard releases. Forget the grainy bootlegs you used to rent from that shop behind the dry cleaners. Why settle for a hazy memory of 1985 when you can see every glistening, visceral detail of Herbert West’s obsession in a restoration that looks better than reality itself? This isn't just a movie; it’s a blueprint for the bold. While everyone else is watching some sanitized, CGI-slathered remake, you’re sitting there with the unrated, uncut, unapologetic masterpiece. ​Do you have a girlfriend? A fiancée? A "situation"? Buy her something shiny tonight, because once you pop this disc in, she’s going to realize that Jeffrey Combs has more charisma in one twitchy eyebrow than you’ve shown in three years of dating. You’ll be ignored. You’ll be second fiddle to a man who can bring a cat back to life with a shrug. ​And the features? Lord. They’ve got three different commentaries. Do I need to hear producer Brian Yuzna explain how they made a severed head talk? Maybe not. But the authority that comes with owning the 105-minute Integral Version is non-negotiable. It’s like owning a high-end vintage car—you don’t need to drive it at 150 mph to let the neighbors know you could if you wanted to. ​I actually had an "associate" try to borrow my copy last week. I told him to beat it. This isn't a loaner; it’s an heirloom. It’s the kind of thing a burglar in Zurich would bypass your safe for. They’d leave the gold, leave the watch, and take the 4K restoration of the Miskatonic University massacre because they know what true value looks like. ​Throw this on your TV. Let the neighbors see the glow of the reagent through your window. Show the world you don’t just watch films—you curate experiences that would make H.P. Lovecraft himself sweat. This is the highest form of entertainment ever to grace a player. Buy it, or stay boring.

Herbert West is such a lively guy. If you’re a Lovecraft fan and like movies like The Evil Dead 2, An American Werewolf in London and pretty much anything by John Carpenter this one is for you. It’s not as gross as I thought it would be. It’s plenty gross. But if you watched, and enjoyed, Ash Versus the Evil Dead then you’ll be right at home with this movie. The 4K looks fantastic and the Dolby Vision really brings the picture to life…or is it an undead facsimile of life? Whichever way this 4K edition of this movie looks great. Highly recommended.

First of all, people are complaining about the bluray quality but it was ok for me. the sound was pretty quiet the whole time but the picture was ok. I can see there is a lot of spots out there since it was shot in film and they cannot clean out all the dust enough since it is a B movie and all, but there is no grain or mashed up area. The picture was pretty clean the whole time. I lately found out that in Korea(Where I live), this same movie sells in like 2 $ for dvd but I sill am happy that I purchased in bluray with the amount of 8.18$ plus the shipping 3.4$. I am not a huge fan of Stuart Gorden and the only reason I purchased this movie to be honset is I saw the review from facebook from a director No Zinsoo and I thought maybe I should take a try. Then I saw this movie from imdb and surprised that it got the score of 7.3, You know what that mean? The horror film that has more then 7 has a lot of meaning. The only film I know that has that higher score is CABIN IN THE WOOD so far. I was more then surprised and I really had a high expectation for this movie before watching it. Then I finally loaded this bluray into my player last night. It was clever, deligent and funny at the same time. It's not a zombie movie or vampire movie or even frankenstein but it is all mixed up. The scientist who invented the liquare that if he inject it into the death human, they re-alive. The fun part was when this guy who has his head chopped out got injected both his body and his head, both part re-alived. That part was so geniously funny. The director used the framming and played with it to look the head as if it is really talking. It's scary and funny at the same time. The problem with the liquare was when being injected, the dead body bacomes very offencive. The whole movie was not a comedy at all. It was dead serious and that made this movie so unique. The ending seems very sad and kind of open ending at the same time when this guy's fiance died and he decided to inject to her body to make her re-alive. Since we know the side effect of that liqure, that makes us more sad. I lately found out that he worked for Disney classic HONEY I SHRINK THE KIDS. Also he wrote for the famous indie filmmaker ABEL FERRARA for the movie BODY SNATCHER. I also was surprised that he directed the movie <STUCK> which I owned and haven't seen it yet. I cannot wait to watch it. He is not dead yet but stopped working since 2007 which is sad.

Erst einmal muß ich sagen das es für ein Capelight Steelbook wirklich wunderschön geworden ist !! Das grün schwarze Cover ist wirklich gelungen und die Farben passen toll zusammen !! Hinten hat es auch nur ein Backprint also ein Bild mit den Händen und dem Kopf und der Schüssel. Unten stehen noch kleingedruckt die Angaben zu den Filmen. Auch innen hat es einen Print mit einem Motiv aus dem Film. Das einzige was zu bemängeln wäre, ist das die Schrift vorne nicht geprägt ist aber das kennt man ja von den deutschen Steelbooks. Zu den Filmen Re-Animator von 1985 und ride of Re-Animator von 1989 brauche ich wohl nicht viel zu schreiben nur soviel das sie einfach Kult sind für Horror und Spatterfreunde. Dazu sei noch gesagt das es sich um die Unrated Fassungen handelt was soviel bedeutet das sie uncut sein sollten jedoch bei dem Vergleich mit meiner Laserdisc ist die Bride of Re-Animator 3 Minuten kürzer also 97 Minuten statt 100 Minuten was aber nichts zu bedeuten hat denn ich habe noch keine Schnitte feststellen können. Auch die englischen Passagen sind wohl nachträglich übersetzt worden aber ich habe die Filme noch nicht ganz gesehen auf dieser Blu-Ray. Zum Ton muss ich sagen: Wahnsinn. Ich kenne ja nur den schlechten Mono Ton von der Laserdisc und von Videos aber hier mit DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 und bei Teil 2 mit DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 ein Hammer Unterschied. Natürlich ist er nicht so gut wie bei aktuellen Filmen jedoch für so einen alten Film, respekt. Auch das Bild ist um Welten besser wie bei der Laserdisc und beim Vorspann von Bride of Re-Animator könnte man meinen, es handle sich um einen aktuellen Film. Es handelt sich laut Umkarton um eine limitierte Erstauflage und die späteren werden wohl nicht mehr so schön sein also zugreifen !!

Le film a très bien vieilli. Il est présenté dans ses 2 versions ( non censurées ), c'est du cinéma grand guignol de très bonne facture. L'image est satisfaisante attention il n'y a que la VO et sous titres en anglais.

La pelicula es de mis favoritas, pero tristemente después de esperar varios retrasos en la salida de la.edicion 4k, esta llega SIN slipcover siendo una primera edición haciendo el pedido el días antes de su salida a la venta. Segun bluray.com la edición cuenta con slipcover.

Miskatonic University has just welcomed its newest student and resident madman, they just don't know it yet! Herbert West is completely obsessed with the thought of re-animating dead tissue, he just hasn't perfected the procedure until now. Through a series of misadventures and failures at the University, Herbert West reluctantly shares his re-animating formula with fellow medical student Dan Cain. Gradually Dan gets sucked in to helping Herbert carry out his horrific experiments on corpses and together they go beyond the point of no return. Welcome to H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator, a true cult classic in every sense of the word and truly worth owning on Blu-ray. Video quality: 4/5 Image Entertainment has given Re-Animator fans a pretty decent Blu-ray presentation as far as I'm concerned. The 1080p HD 1:78.1 Widescreen transfer is in extremely good condition considering its age. Is it perfect? The simple answer is no. There is an occasional blip here and there, some minor print speckling and several casual print splotches but nothing that detracts from the overall viewing experience. Re-Animator was an ultra-low budget film and it's probably a miracle that it was released on Blu-ray to begin with. The transfer from Image is about the best I've ever seen this film look. The level of detail presented in the actor's faces, special effects and make-up made me experience Re-Animator like I hadn't seen before. The colors in this Blu-ray release really stand out, more specifically the blood and Herbert's secret re-animating elixir. I don't remember the green formula looking as bright as it's shown here. Audio quality: 3.5/5 The film's soundtrack is presented in DTS-HD Master audio 5.1. The dialogue comes across clearly but there really isn't anything extraordinary about the soundtrack. I think the 5.1 did the job even though it sounded a little flat at times, however the films score from Richard Band sounded better than I remember. Special features: 4.5/5 - Documentary: Re-Animator Resurrectus - Audio Commentary by Director Stuart Gordon - Audio Commentary by Producer Brian Yuzna and actors Bruce Abbott, Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton and Robert Sampson - Interview with Director Stuart Gordon and Producer Brian Yuzna - Interview with writer Dennis Paoli - Interview with Composer Richard Band - Music discussion with Composer Richard Band - Interview with Fangoria Magazine editor Tony Timpone - Deleted and Extended Scenes - Theatrical Trailer - TV Spots The Main Cast: - Jeffrey Combs ' Herbert West - Bruce Abbott ' Dan Cain - Barbara Crampton ' Megan Halsey - Robert Sampson ' Dean Halsey - David Gale ' Dr. Carl Hill - Gerry Black ' Mace - Carolyn-Purdy Gordon ' Dr. Harrod

Stupendo e terrificante!!!
