Re-Animator (1985)

Re-Animator is really just the best: outrageously gruesome and darkly humorous, the film expertly walks the same tight-rope between horror and slapstick comedy that my love life usually balances. The titular reanimation refers to the walking undead, and not, like, Madagascar 2 or something, so this movie is plenty weird and plenty gory.I mean, where else are you going to see a severed head get to second base on a college co-ed? The cast is great, the direction inspired, and there are enough naked, decaying corpses to last you a lifetime (well, at least a three-day weekend).
