    Re-animator is an underrated gem. Genuinely a fantastic movie

      It's not really underrated. It got great reviews upon its original release, and has since become a horror classic.

      @@timothyivey5497 it barely made back its budget on release so it’s fair to say it wasn’t a hit

      If that’s what they wanted me to do 👏
      Can’t believe they reviewed it!

    When my folks had pay channels on their cable plan, they endlessly recorded movies for us kids to watch.
    "Reanimator" made its way on to one of those VHS cassettes.
    We must've watched it a dozen times.
    Jeffrey Combs rules !

    Fright Night had Amanda Bearse as the girl friend of Charlie. Shortly after she would be in Married With Children.

    The Honeymoon Killers is also one of filmmaker John Water's favorite films....and it's loosely based on a true story.

      I would argue that there are better vampire movies than Fright Night, which hasn’t aged as well as others too. Essential watch for all horror fans nonetheless.

    being a glass installer must be an incredibly difficult and dangerous job going by all the films and cartoons i have watched during the 50 years of my life. the last thing you ever want to do is cross a road or sidewalk while carrying a pane.
    this is one of those episodes where their little arguments remind me of Niles and Frasier. Gene still hates half of them and tells Roger im more selective than you, it is so catty and superior.

      Actually, a flower cart or vegetable cart are the most hazardous jobs .. There is always one to knock over .. And trucks filled with chickens .. Chickens must be exempt from the no animal was harmed mantra .. And of course there are helicopters .. The only reason to have a helicopter in a movie is to blow it up .. TgT

      Right. And Roger could always take the softer approach because he had the credibility of having won a Pulitzer.

    I’m surprised that Ebert liked “last house on the Left” but despised “I spit on your grave”. I personally find them both contemptible.

    • @pluckyduck11y
      @pluckyduck11y ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The worst part about Last House on the Left, is the opening theme song. The lyrics tell the whole plot!

    • @gspendlove
      @gspendlove ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've always found that strange, because both movies have basically the same plot. His print review of Spit contains a lot of talk about the audience at the showing he attended. He was incredibly annoyed and disgusted by some of the shouting and taunts toward the female character on the screen. I think that may have been a factor in his opinion of the movie. I also think the audience at the showing of Last House might have been quieter, which colored his opinion of _that_ movie. He said he left the theater feeling "unclean" after Spit. I don't really blame him, but it could have had just as much to do with being a member of that nihilistic audience as it did with what he was watching. Maybe if the audience had been quiet, he might have been more horrified by the movie than repulsed. Of course, that's just my opinion.

    The Unrated version of “Re-Animator” is hard to find, but it’s out there and it is a much better version.

  • @gspendlove
    @gspendlove ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Re-Animator is a fine example of what we used to call "splatstick." No, not slapstick but "splat"-stick. It's when the violence and gore is so over-the-top that you have a really hard time being horrified, and it gets funny because you can't take it seriously. The finest splatstick movie there ever was is Peter Jackson's Braindead (aka Dead Alive). Other examples abound. Evil Dead 2 comes to mind, and Freddy vs. Jason. The key to the watchability of Re-Animator is Jeffrey Combs' performance as Dr. Herbert West. With a lesser actor in that role, Re-Animator is not as good, and the movie just doesn't deliver the ghoulish goods. Special mention also has to go to David Gale as Dr. Carl Hill; both Combs and Gale know exactly what kind of movie they're in, and play their parts to perfection. Stuart Gordon and the FX crew deserve a lot of credit for making what could've been a terrible film into a great one. It could've been just another ripoff of Frankenstein; it isn't. Five stars. Joe Bob says check it out.

    The only good thing to come out of “Cat People” 1982 was the song Cat People (Putting out the Fire) and even that was used better in “Inglourious Basterds”!

  • @andrewforbes1433

    “Re-animator is directed with good cheer and _a minimum of gross-out scenes_ by Stuart Gordon.”
    I’ve always thought Siskel didn’t pay attention at genre movies, but I didn’t think he went to sleep.

    • @Shorty_Lickens
      @Shorty_Lickens ปีที่แล้ว +4

      i think he meant the minimum necessary to make such a movie, which is true but still a lot.

    I haven't seen all of the movies they discuss here. For those that I have seen, I didn't personally care for most of them. What's astonishing is the absence of what I consider the greatest horror movie of all time. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. You can read Ebert's review of this movie, in which he reluctantly admits that the movie was well made. They gave a mention to Last House on the Left, which I consider one of the worst movies ever made. But, not Chain Saw? Give me a break!

    • @Redfoot138
      @Redfoot138 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a special on overlooked (hidden) horror movies. By 1988, Texas Chainsaw Massacre was probably one of the most famous horror movies of all time, including a 1986 sequel.
