Re-Animator

I compare this story to a modern day Frankenstein. It's about a couple of Med stdents who find a way to raise the dead. Shit hits the fan, and people start dieing and then coming back to life. All in all, a decent movie. Good story, acting and effects all around. If you like the whole Frankenstein idea, then pick this one up. 3.5 out of 5.

Characters

• Dan: Med student who gets a new roomate who discovered a way to bring the dead back to life.
• Herbert West: discovers a way to bring corpses back to life. Killed.
• Megan: Dan's gal who gets a little freaked out by the whole 'turning her father into a living corpse' thing. Gets strangled.
• Doctor Hill: Professor who blackmails Herbert. Bad move. Decapitated with a shovel only to be brought back to life.... and killed again.
• Dean Halsey: Megan's father who is killed by a living corpse. He gets turned into Herberts science project.
• Mace: The lazy security gaurd. If you're going to a security gaurd in a movie like this, you have to be lazy, or you'll die.

• Body Count: 5
• Weapons used: A bat, a shovel, scalple, and a bunch of other medical stuff.
