The original story, published as six parts in Weird Tales magazine. So let’s take a look at the Re-Animator through popular culture.Ī note: while I’ve been mulling over this sort of post for some time as an outlet for my obsessive researching tendencies, it still seems only right that I tip my hat to Lindsay Ellis’ excellent Loose Canon series, which takes a similar investigative tack. And, well, I haven’t seen anyone else try to catalogue that impressive body of work yet. West’s quest to defeat death has made quite the hallmark on western culture (and beyond). At the same time, those six serial shorts went on to birth the single most successful Lovecraft adaptation and the most memorable, longlasting character not sleeping in R’lyeh or bound in human flesh. Lovecraft himself didn’t even think much of them – by which I mean he loathed them utterly, and mostly used them to bring in a paycheck from Weird Tales and take pot shots at that upstart lady writer’s new hit Frankenstein. Lovecraft nerds love to turn up their noses at the Herbert West – Reanimator” stories, declaring them the weakest point in the author’s body of work. Herbert West’s longevity is something of a marvel. Great movie, so I'll give it a 4.5/5 rating, Whenever you get a chance, don't miss it.Dr. I loved it, it was so much different, and at 1 hr 19 minutes running time, it never lets up. I like both of them pretty much equal, it's just this version gives your brain quite a bit more to digest.
You really can't compare the two films, because they are so different, and each one stands very well on it's own. But, where do they go for that three minutes? This movie goes into that, and the other big difference, is Herbert West's daughter plays a big role, and then there is a HUGE twist that reveals West's Son who is truly evil, and the ending is something else, it's pretty much up to your interpretation as to what it means, and it certainly makes you think. In this version a dead person re-animated and if killed again, it comes back to life in three minutes. But this version has many more characters, and plot lines, and yes, it is very gory as you would expect. The only thing that is consistent, is the green stuff and yes it re-animates the dead. I haven't read the original material, but this is so much else going on, that I have to guess this one is closer than the other one, but that is just a guess. Lovecraft short story "The Re-Animator", is almost totally different than the Stuart Gordon version. This Italian version, or interpretation of the H.
