I've probably seen 1985's Re-Animator more than thirty times. It's campy, but I think it still holds up. This is Lovecraft's homage to Shelley's Frankenstein. The brilliance of the film's story is that there is no attempt to explain the re-animation reagent and how it works; we just know that it does.
It's apparent that someone on the film's creative team (writer? director?) likes naked ladies. We see a lot of naked bodies. We see naked bodies being objectified and treated as playthings. We see perversions galore. We see some crazy things being done with a decapitated head and the object of said head's desire.
Ultimately, this is a zombie film, but a great variation on the genre. Go see it!
Streaming on Tubi.
