I'm pretty excited because this is going to be my first scene-by-scene breakdown for you guys. You're fine. Yeah. Like you said on the Beale Juice episode, this is your favorite horror film of all time? My favorite horror movie of all time, yeah. Which I i genuinely did not know that. And I'm not sure, it's pretty bad I'm a podcast, don't know what my favorite horror movie is of all time. Oh, it's probably,
00:00:58
Speaker
If you count an American world from London as horror, it's probably that. Yeah, it's a horror movie for sure. It's that or it's The Shining. It's one of those two. Two classics for sure. Yeah. I mean, I could watch the transition scene in an American world from London like every day. 100% of it. It's outstanding.
Reanimator Steelbook Gift and Initial Reactions
00:01:17
Speaker
Now, reanimator is like a cult classic.
00:01:20
Speaker
Reanimator, I only watched for the first time ah this year in March, and I enjoyed it. By the way, we both love this movie, so there you go. Yeah, spoiler. yeah out of And then way back when, I got you the Reanimator Steelbook for either Christmas or your birthday. Yeah, I think it was my birthday.
00:01:42
Speaker
And I'm pretty sure back then, whenever it came out, I tried to watch it and didn't even get through it. I think I turned it off. Could be because of the gore. I think I was just MCU-pilled. Oh. Yeah. Because it was around then, right? It was in the late teens. For sure. I opened it. I watched probably like half of it, maybe less. And I was just like, yeah, return to sender. um And then I happened just to find it at my local movie store, the Arrow Video Steelbook. It's out of print and kind of hard to find.
00:02:20
Speaker
I just found it for 30 bucks. And even the guy at the front was like, this is a fucking steal, man. I'm like, are you sure it's the price? He's like, yeah. I was like, all right. All right, it's mine. Thanks. And I think I told you that there was no J-card. I opened it to play it last night, and there was a J-card inside. So I have the J-card. Really? I don't even have my J-card anymore. It's right here. Damn. I actually started a pile in this little john over here. It's all my J-cards.
00:02:48
Speaker
Oh, nice. Yeah, I have I have mine in a ah little drawer. So I was excited to rewatch this on disk because the first I watched it was straight. Well, the second time I watched it technically it was streaming. I think I watched it on like freebie or some shit. There was ads and it was very grainy. And this watch went swimmingly. Great.
Arrow Video Release Quality
00:03:14
Speaker
Fantastic.
00:03:15
Speaker
The arrow release does have some grain, but they clean it up pretty good. Yeah, it definitely works. Uh, arrow, if you're listening, give us a 4k. Sure. I wouldn't be opposed. I'm not going to upgrade unless it's like a steel book looks cooler than what I have, but, but that steel books amazing looking anyway. Yeah, it's on the wall.
00:03:37
Speaker
For sure. It's on the wall. Definitely on the wall. Definitely. I don't um don't think we have any physical media pickups besides I did. I don't know. if Did you get this email? Target emailed me saying we officially have a release date for that Godzilla minus one still book. Oh, yeah, I got that. The email was like it got moved to, I believe, November.
00:03:59
Speaker
Uh, also I pre-ordered the Krampus Steelbook. I didn't get the whole set. That was like $140 with the plush the cards or whatever. I just got the Steelbook by itself. yeah You own the naughty cut. Yeah. So I don't, I like the Steelbook, but I already own it on 4k. So I don't really need to upgrade to a steel. Yeah. I only have the Blu-ray copy. So I did the upgrade, but I'll let you guys know when it actually comes in. It's the naughty cut, right? The one that you're getting.

Opening Scene Breakdown
00:06:32
Speaker
looked great. It pops. Yeah.
00:06:36
Speaker
Now this is a story, uh, loosely based on an HP Lovecraft story. What does that mean? Cause I don't know. You don't know who HP Lovecraft is. No. He was like, uh, huh? Is he gay? Probably. use When you, when you say HP, I think of the printer or Harry Potter.
00:06:57
Speaker
Yeah, Harry Potter Lovecraft. yeah um He was an author who wrote like a bunch of weird-ass fiction about like the Cosmics, and he made Cthulhu. He literally created Cthulhu. What's Cthulhu? What is that? You don't know Cthulhu?
00:07:18
Speaker
Cut that. ah so
Theme Music and Setting
00:07:22
Speaker
Oh my God. All right. Here live, live reveal for Nick of what Cthulhu is. What is that a frog? It looks like Davy Jones. ah Yeah, kinda. Shout out to Davy Jones. All right. let's just get suction cupass
00:07:46
Speaker
All right, let's get into it. So the movie opens as you are looking at a school called Universitat Zürich. Uh, you later find out that this takes, this part takes place in Sweden, Switzerland. And we see a man followed by cops walking through the halls of this university and they come to a nurse.
00:08:14
Speaker
who shows them to a room with a bunch of screaming going on. We find out that this office is the office of Dr. Gruber. And more screams happen when they are outside the office and the cops decide to break in the door to open the door. They also heard like the glass smashing like in the room. Yeah, there's like glass smashing and everything.
00:08:46
Speaker
So when they walk into the room there, they find a man with a syringe on top of another man who is blue in the face and twitching around and screaming. We find out that later that this man on with the syringe is Herbert West, our main character. And the guy on the floor is Dr. Gruber. Some shiny ass green liquid.
00:09:16
Speaker
Yep. We'll get to that. This dude's got like a bloody mouth and he's fucked up. Yeah, he's pretty fucked up. So the cops are trying to pull the dude with the syringe off of the body and, but he yells, you'll ruin my notes. I have to record his vital signs, which you don't really understand because this guy looks dead.
00:09:46
Speaker
So, uh, Dr. Gruber proceeds to stand up and have like this little mental breakdown and his eyes start bulging out of his skull and bleeding everywhere. And I think his eyes explode, right? Yeah, they, yeah, they bust. They they're busting nuts all over the floor and then he falls down and dies. Right. Uh, the cops say,
00:10:15
Speaker
Oh, he's dead now. And Herbert West says, of course he's dead. The dosage was too large. And the nurse says you killed him. And Herbert says, no, I didn't. I gave him life. And then you get a title card. Yeah. Intro to my favorite horror theme of all time too. Is this using other movies? Cause I feel like it is.
00:10:41
Speaker
It sounds very similar to other things, right? But this is the first time I've ever heard it when I watch this movie. Okay. But this song fucking goes. I agree. And the intro of the credits has a bunch of like drawings of anatomy and shit. It's kind of psychedelic. I'll be honest. I fast forwarded through it. Did you? Yeah. I like the music. I fast forwarded through it. That's all right. So it cuts to Miskatonic Medical School in Arkham, Massachusetts. Shout out Batman. Shout out Massachusetts, shoot it's not really. Oh, it's not really. Fuck him. And you see a doctor. Named Dr. Kane, Dan Kane. Dan should rub my cane. All right. yeah Giving this really fat lady CPR or tits out.
00:11:39
Speaker
Yeah, our tits are just out, dude. We got a little light nipples on her. I like light nipples. You like dark nipples or light nipples? Huh? You heard me? You prefer darker, light nipples? You like light ariola or nipple? Yeah, yeah, yeah, ariola. Light or dark?
00:11:54
Speaker
I think it depends on the person's ethnicity if you're white if you're yeah if you're a white and like like me like a light nipple is good but if you're like a a mix or a darker skin ah a darker nipples preferred sure because you have a preference
00:12:15
Speaker
yeah
00:12:19
Speaker
but do that in odd That's not true. This is this is the whole I'm selective with the holes. This is this is the month of horror. So things might get a little crazy. Also, if you have an Audi belly button, you're an alien. Most girls, I feel, have Audis, right? Is that how you feel? They drive out. He's like, shit, I don't know. Hey, yeah, that's true. ah So.
00:12:48
Speaker
He's given this lady CPR and the little defibrillator johns. and I didn't know what that was called. I just wrote zapper defibrillator. You never had to take like CPR school or anything. I got shown how to like gives me mouth to mouth, but that's about it. Well, all right. That's it. all tongue So he's doing the little defib thing and she's clearly not coming back. She's dead. Got the little little one line on the heart rate monitor.
00:13:19
Speaker
but he won't give up. He keeps trying to give her CPR.
Herbert West's Arrival and Suspicions
00:13:25
Speaker
she He won't accept the fact that she's dead. So the other doctor, Dr. Harrod or whatever her name is. Harrod. Harrod. Harrod.
00:13:39
Speaker
Harrod. I made sound Indian, but she said. Dr. Harrod is like, Harrod, he's dead. Stupid fat bitch. All right, Dr. Harrod, apparently her. She's got a her rod ride her rod. All right. She wants to ride Dan's rod. I don't know. So. ah
00:14:06
Speaker
So, yeah, Dr. Harrod says that a good doctor knows when to stop. And Dan, it's not about it. Uh, but they take the body to the morgue and we meet the security guard at the morgue he's fired. You should definitely be fired. Yeah. I didn't catch his name. Did you? No, his name is guard in my notes to guard. Yeah, me too. Um, and he's talking about how he doesn't know why they lock the doors because nobody's getting in and nobody's getting out.
00:14:39
Speaker
Like I'm pretty sure they lock the doors so you can't get in. Like people are like a fuck dead bodies, right? Yeah. People like to fuck corpses, necrophilia. We, this is a real thing. Yeah. I thought the way they filmed this though is a little bit too on the nose. No one's getting in and no one's getting out. He said it like with a fucking tone and I was like, all right, we get it. That's coming into play later. Yeah, we get it. Yeah. Uh, so the freezer,
00:15:07
Speaker
There's like a guy. good No ice cream. Yeah, no, no ice cream with this freezer. It's just a bunch of fucking corpses and Dan's pushing them around and like this one corpse arm just keeps falling over. Yeah, that corpse is like Lego my ego.
00:15:24
Speaker
He's trying to like give him a handy or something. It's like dick level and fucked up. Yeah. So Dan pushes the corpse in the freezer, whatever. And then he comes out and. I thought this was an autopsy, but you later find out, you know what they're doing, what they're doing. um So basically this guy is getting this guy is performing a lobotomy.
00:15:52
Speaker
on this corpse and you find out that this is Dr. Carl Hill, who is a teacher at this university. And he's making a hole in the skull. With like a laser. With a laser. Oh, later known as the laser drill. And he pushes a Q-tip inside this hole. It's like one of those Q-tips you'd get when you got like a COVID test. Yeah, it's really long. One of those long drawn silvers.
00:16:21
Speaker
Long John Silver ski mask the Slump God. Come on a pod. Or don't. Or don't. yeah whatever Whatever you want to do. you have your own life You're busy. We get it. We get it. um So Herbert West shows up in this classroom. it It is a classroom, right? He's a little sassy boy. Oh, Herbert.
00:16:46
Speaker
I don't know if it's a class or not because they come in later and, uh, like towards the end of the movie, when, uh, Halsey's looking for, uh, Dan and then like, Oh, he's clocked into work. He's clocked in at the morgue or whatever. So I don't know what, if it's a classroom or not, maybe they use it as a classroom. Okay. but I don't know. Maybe it's like both. Yeah.
00:17:10
Speaker
So you meet Herbert West and he's great. Jeffrey Combs is amazing as Herbert West. He's a little sassy fuck, like smarter, smarter than everybody else type shit. And, uh, yeah, Herbert and Dan get introduced. They're classmates now. Yeah. Classmates. So Dan asked what Herbert was studying in Switzerland and he says death. Yeah. Pretty cold.
00:17:40
Speaker
Yeah, cold doesn't care. So in my notes, I just have him as the dean. Yeah, Dean Alan Halsey, cerebral palsy. Yeah. ah So the dean is also here and introduces. Car Dr. Carl Hill, who I will refer to as Hill Hill. Yeah.
00:18:04
Speaker
Uh, so the Dean says that Herbert was studying under Dr. Gruber and Hill kind of gives Herbert like this little side eye. Like here, he doesn't like Herbert. Yeah. Uh, so Herb goes on like this before herbivore goes on this little rant, um, shitting on Dr.
Challenge to Dr. Hill's Research
00:18:26
Speaker
Hill's studies. And he says that his work in Europe is thought as pretty much just being plagiarism of Dr. Gruber's work. Yeah. It's kind of a fucking hack.
00:18:35
Speaker
Yeah. And, uh, he said, uh, Herbert says that there's, uh, more ah than 12 minute life on the brainstem after death. And Dr. Hill is pretty positive that there's only six to 12 minutes. Right. And Herbert says like that's outdated work.
00:19:02
Speaker
Yeah, they they so it cuts to fuck him, Dan, placing an apartment ad on a cork board. And did you catch what the address was? No, I know it was 666, Darkmoor Road. OK, pretty, yeah pretty great. ah So in comes Meg, played by Barbara Crampton, Meg.
00:19:34
Speaker
And they are together.
00:19:39
Speaker
Um, they're engaged, as we'll find out. And Meg is the Dean's daughter. Uh, then they're like, you know, kissing in the hallway, talking horny bitch. Yeah, she is. I'm horny for her. Uh, so then it cuts to them in bed, just fucking going to town, having sex.
00:20:02
Speaker
Dude, the way that the way that it was like they're in the hallway and she was like, no, no. And then it's like, yes, he yes. Yeah, that was great. dick um So they're fucking or whatever. And then Dan's cat Rufus ah jumps onto his back. Fucking S tier name for a cat Rufus. Yeah, great great name for a cat. Red Kitty knows Rufus now. Nope. His name is Red Kitty. It's been three years. Sorry.
00:20:30
Speaker
Sorry, Autumn. You told me about this yesterday or the other day. It was really bothering you. What did Autumn tell you? She said that it bothers her that Red Kitty's name is Red Kitty. You know what's crazy is Autumn's never met my cat, and that it bothers her. I know. That's nuts. Also, his name is Red Kitty. That's his name. That's his name, Red Kitty. He looks over when I say Red Kitty. And it rocks with it. I love it. I fuck with it. Heavy. And if you don't, still listen to the podcast. Please. We love you, Autumn. but But fuck you and fuck you, Mark. Definitely fuck Mark. Yeah. Fucking doofus. Rufus the doofus. All right. any lord farquad Okay. So yeah. Rufus jumps on their back on ah Dan's back while they're fucking and Meg's like, all right. Yeah. Okay. I got to go. Uh, she's got to do something. I don't write down what she has to do, but she has to do something.
00:21:26
Speaker
Uh, I think it's the, I think she's a curfew because, uh, Kane is like Dan Kane. Sorry. I have Kane in my notes. He's like, Oh, he's fucking Dean, cerebral palsy. So old school at a touch, whatever. Right. Uh, and then they talk about, he mentions like he can, he's only going to marry her or she's only going to marry him after he graduates college with an MD fucking gold digger.
00:21:55
Speaker
M.D., Jesus Christ. You know how long it's going to be? Yeah. So they do they do some little cute shit with like, I guess ah like Dan pretends he's a ghost like under a sheet. And I don't know what she luck with she was actually freaked out by the end. Huh? Was she actually fucking with it or was she freaked out? I thought she was fucking with it ah by the end. I thought she was kind of freaked out. Maybe she was like, all right, fucking stop. Yeah.
00:22:24
Speaker
So, uh, she goes to open the, like your little face there.
00:22:33
Speaker
So she goes to the main door and opens it and Herbert West is at the door and Dan was not expecting anybody to be at the door. He's fucking butt ass naked. So he like covers himself with a sheet and he's there because he saw the ad for the apartment and he wants to live there.
00:22:54
Speaker
So he walks in, show me the basement. Yeah. He comes in and asks if the building has a basement and Dan's like, yeah. So they go into the basement. He basically comes over the size of this basement. Like he's like, this is a good size. This is perfect. I'm going to do terrible things down here. And right off the bat, Meg is getting big red flags for Herbert. She, I don't really like it. I don't know if you should, you know, maybe you should stop and think about this.
00:23:23
Speaker
And Herbert just pulls out the money and Dan's like, all right, bet. Yeah, he's got it ready. It's yours. Oh, I just want to add, Meg, in that scene, Meg asks Herbert why he left Switzerland and he tells us there was nothing left to learn, which is sus. That's very sus.
00:23:42
Speaker
So we cut to another lobotomy being performed by Hill in a class, it seems this time. Right. And he's talking about basically teaching people how to like scalp a corpse. Yeah. And man, the special effects here, he's like, you know, just grab right here and pull back and you literally see like he's just scalping this corpse, bro. He's like, it's like peeling a big orange.
00:24:12
Speaker
Shout out a saw three a surgery they were innna show. I thought they were going to show him with the fucking saw going on his fucking scalp. Oh, that would have been crazy, but they just show it afterwards. Yeah. So he takes a bone saw and cuts around the circumference of the skull and just pops the top off. Like a fucking convertible. Pop the top.
00:24:40
Speaker
And he says that the brainstem can only survive six to 12 minutes after death and stares directly at Herbert. And Herbert snaps a pencil.
00:24:52
Speaker
to like get his attention, stop mid sentence. And Hill keeps talking about how we all want to live after death, but some people have an obsession over it. And Herbert snaps another pencil and Hill gets really pissed off. So he dismisses the class. Uh, they start arguing and Hill says it'll be a pleasure to fail you.
00:25:22
Speaker
And he's like, also, you should probably use a pen. Yeah. Use a pen, not a pencil. When he snaps that pencil and he's like, use a pen, West calls him out in front of everybody. He's like, you're, you basically just fucking stole Gruber's work. Oh yeah. He calls him out in front of the whole class. Yeah. So it cuts to dinner at the Dean's house and Hill and Meg are both there.
00:25:46
Speaker
And Meg says she has to go because she has a study, a study date with Daniel. And Hill's like, so I heard that Dr. Herbert West moved in. Is that true? And then the doorbell rings. In comes Mr. Daniel. Yep. And this is where fucking Hill starts kind of goo and gone over Megan. It's like you go fucking creep.
00:26:12
Speaker
He's like creeping on her. He's like, he like makes a toast to like her. And he's like, yeah anybody who falls under her spell is obsessed. Beautiful, loving daughter. no Obsession of anyone who falls under her spell. This guy's like old. He's like 70. Yeah. Like 70. Yeah, for sure. And he wants them to study here. Like just stay here. Don't go to Dan's house. Just study here. And I'm like, bro, it's not your daughter. You don't,
00:26:40
Speaker
You can't like tell her what to do. I think this just more, uh, cements the fact that he's a fucking hack. No, he's a fucking hack. He probably wants to look at their work and like steal it. Yeah. Yeah. So then it cuts to Dan's house and they're studying quote, quote,
00:27:00
Speaker
He wants to fuck. Yeah. Dan's trying to flirt. He's trying to fuck, but Meg's not having it because she just doesn't feel comfortable with Herbert being in the house. Like, you know, you never see him come out to get food. The door's always closed. Like what's going on with him? And then she's like, and where's Rufus at? Like Rufus is always afraid of him. Where's he at?
00:27:22
Speaker
Dan's like, Oh, he's probably just hiding. So Meg gets up and she starts doing the, and I wrote that as soon as she started doing that, my cat, my one cat Maya came running. She was like, stared at the TV. Maya's goaded. You can have her. I will. I'll take her. Okay. I'll send her in a box. No holes. So
00:27:51
Speaker
This is your scene, man. You talk at nauseam about using dead animals. Yeah. This is your scene. So they go looking for Rufus, like here, all that shit. And Meg decides to go into Herbert's room. Not a good idea. He does not like people in his room. So she walks in and she sees a little mini fridge open, like with some grow glowing green.
00:28:21
Speaker
so she opens it and she finds Rufus dead inside this fridge. Again, let's not kill animals. This is your favorite horror movie of all time and you still have beef with the cat? Well, it's not, they don't use it. It was definitely an animatronic. Oh yeah, they don't use real cats, but like in real life, you know? Don't kill cats to do experiments on it. Well, unfortunately it probably happens like right now.
00:28:49
Speaker
ah that Maybe not in America, in other countries probably. So Herbert runs in and he's like, get the fuck out of my room essentially. I don't like people in my room. Yeah, I worked at a private space. Yeah, and Meg shows Dan ah the dead cat and Dan's really upset. Dan!
00:29:10
Speaker
and Sorry, he does that a lot. Yeah. And ah Herbert says that he got hit. He got stuck in the in the garbage and he had got. Yes. Head got stuck in a jar and I put cap. Like, how's that happening? No, he lied. He killed it. Yeah, he definitely killed it. So Dan grabs a vial of this green liquid that's in the fridge and Herbert ah Dan's like, what is this? And
00:29:40
Speaker
Herbert's like, it's not your business. And Dan's like, yes, it is. My fucking house. Like, and and then Herbert's like, Oh, well, it's not my business that you're sleeping with the Dean's daughter either. Yeah. Shots. Uh, so then next scene, we're at nighttime. Uh, Dan's sleeping and he hears sounds of like a cat shrieking. Right. So he, he gets out of bed, grabs like a baseball bat.
00:30:09
Speaker
and starts investigating and he tries to go to Herbert's room. He's banging on the door. Like, do you hear that sound? Come on, let's go. Herbert's not answering the door. So he goes to the basement door and breaks it down. It seems like it's locked. Yeah. Cause he like tumbled down the stairs. Like he was putting all his energy into that door. Yeah. And he finds Herbert fighting with something on his back. And we find out that it's Rufus.
00:30:40
Speaker
Rufus the doofus. Yeah. And. He he eats the fuck out of this cat. He eats it across the room. I mean, this guy, this guy gets heated several times. Yeah. So they're hunting it down because it's still loose, making sounds, knocking shit over. And there's a nice jump scare here where the cat jumps out at the screen.
00:31:07
Speaker
And Dan grabs the fuck out of it and chucks it against the wall and its brains are like on the on the wall and everything. Something weird happened here, though. I don't know what it wasn't shot good or something, but the cat jumps out like you said in the Dan or Herbert go flying into the corner like no cats pushing you like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. What? Well, you know, as we'll find out, it's reanimated. That's true. ah So right now the cat's dead.
00:31:36
Speaker
You've been dead or a alive. I know cat pushing like that. Yeah, I agree. Uh, so it died after Dan chucked it at the wall and its brains. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of gore in this movie, a lot of good gore. So now Herbert explains that he can break the six to 12 minute of brain death.
00:32:01
Speaker
saying that he brought the cat back to life. um Asked Dan if he can help him in his research and Dan said he doesn't believe him. He said, you drug, you drug the cat there. It wasn't dead at any time.
Reanimation of the Dean
00:32:17
Speaker
And Herbert says, Oh, well, we agree that the cat's dead now, right? And just picks it up and drops it.
00:32:26
Speaker
And Dan's like, yeah. So Herbert goes and grabs the green liquid and injects it into Rufus's head. This is cruel. Put this thing out with misery. Yeah, it's very cruel. So the cat starts twitching around. And they're both like, you know, mesmerized by what they're witnessing. And then Meg comes down the stairs and starts screaming and finds out what they're doing.
00:33:00
Speaker
Um, so then it cuts to Dan is in the Dean's office and telling him that Herbert West can reanimate corpses that he witnessed it with his own eyes. He saw the cat and the Dean doesn't believe him and said that.
00:33:24
Speaker
His daughter, he doesn't want his daughter hanging out with you anymore and stuff like that. Yeah. Cause he tells the Dean that, uh, Meg saw it too. Yeah. Meg saw it. You got fucking Meg involved. Yeah. He's pissed that his, his daughter's involved and he threatens to take away Dan's loan for his school. And he's very upset about that. And he just says that Herbert's expelled. He can continue his experiments, just not on school property.
00:33:54
Speaker
He has a written apology, which is like, what? What do you need a written apology for?
00:34:01
Speaker
um So then we go to Dan and he's willing another body into the morgue. And ah the guards like. God, I'm going to lunch. He's like, all right, I got a meatball right here for you. You like crack, you got ran over by a truck or something.
00:34:24
Speaker
Yeah, I ran over by a truck, so he's just a meatball. ah So when they get into the morgue, surprise, Herbert is under the sheet. It's not a dead body. So they go into the freezer to find a fresh specimen. They. Turbert looks at all the tow tags on all of them. One's a burn victim.
00:34:47
Speaker
ah ones One's. Got a shotgun to the face. Shotgun to the face. Can't use that one. Rotten flesh, rotten flesh. And you got, oh, it's like, yeah, all stank ass going on. So then they find a body that apparently just dropped dead. And John Doe, John Doe, John Doe. So he pulls out, Herbert pulls out a audio recording device and tells Dan to start rolling.
00:35:18
Speaker
So Dan goes, starts going through like the time it's 10 33 PM. And he says that the guy died of heart failure, which we don't know if it's true, but Herbert's just assuming cause there's no visible one. Fresh one. Yeah. There's no visible wounds.
00:35:36
Speaker
Yep. So Herbert takes 15 CC of his reanimating juice and sticks it into guys head.
00:35:49
Speaker
Uh, the Dean is looking for the boys with Meg and he's at like this desk saying, uh, have you seen them? They clocked in for work or anything. And the lady's like, Oh, I saw Dan like he's at the morgue. So the Dean tells Meg to stay right here and he goes off to try and find the boys.
00:36:13
Speaker
Yeah. So the, the security phone rings at the desk where the guy is not cause on lunch and the boys are spooked. So he's like, we gotta go. And Herbert says, not fuck that. So he increases the dosage by an additional 20 CCs and homeboy rises up like the undertaker and starts freaking the fuck out.
00:36:42
Speaker
He's like bleeding out of his mouth and shit. He's jacked. He's fucking jacked. He was like a bodybuilder. He starts flinging them around. He's all fainy like my cock. Hey, I'm trying to feel that. So the reanimated guy breaks through the, so the Dean comes in to the morgue pounding on the door. Dan's saying you need to help us. So the reanimated guy breaks down the door and essentially crushes the Dean under the door.
00:37:13
Speaker
He bites the Dean's fingers off and throws them against the wall. Uh, and Dan comes out and he's like beat, it's like punching the dude, trying to stop him. And then Herbert goes to one of this little glass cases and takes like a protractor or something and breaks it over. What was it? I don't know, but not a pro protractor, like a three protractor. Okay.
00:37:42
Speaker
He takes something. I don't know what it is. Pretty fair. I don't know what it is either. He takes a metal thing and breaks open the glass cabinet and grabs a bone saw and proceeds to push the bone saw straight through Homie's chest. Yeah, it looks like the electric one that Dr. Hill used to cut Homie's skull open at the beginning of the film. They don't do a good job. but ah to me in this sequence showing that, uh, Mr. Halsey is dead. Cause he crushes him in the door. Like, Oh damn, he's fucking dead for sure. And then he picks him up and he's still like fighting back right until they're against the wall. And then they just like, after the saw goes through his chest, she's like, all right, he's probably just badly hurt, but now he's dead. No, he's dead. So
00:38:32
Speaker
Herbert says that they need to reanimate the Dean because he's the freshest specimen that they've ever come across. And for some reason Dan just goes along with it. Uh, well,
00:38:52
Speaker
You think it's because it's made dad also because it's going to look like they fucking murdered him. Yeah. And it's Meg's dad. Yeah. Yeah. Also, it cuts in the middle of this and Meg goes gets like like escaped from being watched and she was looking. Yeah. The the nurse leaves her post. So Meg runs to the morgue.
00:39:12
Speaker
ah Herbert gives 12 cc's to the Dean because he's fresh, fresh. He says in in accordance to freshness, which whatever that means, do whatever you want. This is fucking sci-fi. Right. ah So the Dean wakes up. There's blood dripping out of his mouth. In 17 seconds. 17 seconds. Good call. It's how fast I come. Sorry. So then I only wrote this down. It briefly cuts to Meg walking through and her nips are pretty pointy. Just wanted to point that out.
00:39:42
Speaker
yeah So, Dean, the Dean wakes up, grabs Dan and Herb by the throat. Herb. I know him very well. Uh, so Meg walks in and starts screaming cause that's all she seems to do. Just come in at bad times and screams. Daddy. Yeah, she calls him daddy, which is kind of odd. who And he was like, call me daddy. Oh, she'd call me daddy. Come here, Barbara.
00:40:14
Speaker
So the guard finally shows back up. He comes in, asks what's happened. Because he's a terrible guard. Terrible guard. ah Herbert says that the Dean was pissed off and came in and went crazy. He killed this guy on the floor with a bone saw.
00:40:29
Speaker
And Dan at this point just has like a mental breakdown. He goes into shock. He like lays on the floor in a fetal position and Herbert, he's fucked up. Herbert like gets a blanket, right? It puts it over him. Yeah. I mean, he's like ain't keeping him warm for sure. No, he's like patent. I mean, like, it's all right. It's all right. This was a fucking mad man. West is fucking crazy. ah he's He's crazy, but he's great. I love him so much.
00:40:54
Speaker
So we cut to the Dean in a straight jacket and one of those white rooms that are padded. So you protect yourself. So we find out that it's in Dr. Hill's office. Why does he have one of these things in his office? I guess he studies, uh, neurological stuff. There's a lot of things he has in his office, which, why do you have that? Which we'll get into later. Yeah. It's just Hill and, uh, Meg.
00:41:21
Speaker
And Hill is, like Hill is like, you know, I know you, it must be hard. Your father gone. If you're ever lonely and he tries to like fucking touch her, he goddamn pervert. Yeah. And then it's like the dad fucking ruins it. It starts banging his head in the glass, not ruins it, but like kind of saves Meg. Yeah. He says, um, I want you to sign this release form for me to do experimental surgery. She's pretty hesitant.
00:41:46
Speaker
But then she's like, he's like, I'll take good care of him. And he's like, I'm going to cut him from right here. And he's like, yeah, she's like, go stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear that shit. So she eventually says yes.
00:42:01
Speaker
Um, leave the treatment to me. And like you said, he starts making the moves on her again, a little nasty. And, uh, dr. Hill goes into the room with the Dean.
00:42:11
Speaker
Well the dad runs over and starts banging his fucking glass in between them. Oh, he runs into the fucking wall. He's like banging his head on the glass. Yeah. And this is crazy that Hill goes into the room with two nurses. This man is strapped, has no use of his arms, and the nurses struggle to fucking get him. Yeah, right. Just push him. Push him over. The fuck he has no arms. Yeah.
00:42:36
Speaker
So then it cuts to Meg at her house and Dan just like apparently broke in maybe as a key. I don't know, but he's there. It was. I didn't get that part either. Yeah. Yeah. So he explains that he is an insane that your dad's not insane. He's actually dead. He's dead like Doug. Doug's dead. ah So Herbert's back in the basement doing research. This is fucking weird.
00:43:05
Speaker
Yeah. And, uh, Dr. Hill walks down the stairs and not even done that. He's just in the shadows and just like pops out. Yeah. Like he broke. This is Dan. He broke into Dan's house. Yeah. Essentially. Right. Unless Herbert's an idiot and left the door open, but I don't think so. He's not pretty smart guy. yeah He's pretty smart. He's probably got OCD. Yeah. So he walks down the stairs and starts questioning about what happened to the Dean because I know he's dead. Yeah. How do you know he's dead?
00:43:36
Speaker
He knows that he got reanimated. So he says no one, no one fucking acts like that. Yeah. So he says that he wants ah Herbert's discovery to reanimate the dead. He basically, he's a hack. Like he said, he wants to steal his fucking ah research and be famous for what Herbert discovered. So he threatens to lock him up for murder. Right. If he doesn't do it. So Herbert eventually just, you know, gives him the notes.
00:44:08
Speaker
ah He then shows him, there's a ah scene in between these two, but it was irrelevant, so I didn't put it. Yeah, there's nothing yeah there was nothing there. ah So Herbert shows him the re reagent, as he calls it. Yeah. Working on the cat tissue through a microscope, and Hill's very intrigued by it. and This is one of the coolest scenes in the fucking movie. Yeah.
00:44:35
Speaker
Herbert walks up slowly backs away like Homer Simpson into the Bush and grabs a shovel. Not in the Meg's Bush. No. Uh, so he backs away and grabs a bush. Definitely. Uh, backs away and grabs a shovel and a wax Hill straight in the head. And then an amazing scene decapitates him with the shovel.
00:45:02
Speaker
It's like when you go to break ground, when you start shoveling, he basically puts the fucking shovel at this guy's neck and just pushes it down with his foot. Yeah. Steps on it. Yeah. It was gnarly. Yeah. Um, so he grabs his head and he, he's tried to like set it, but it keeps falling over. So he grabs one of those nail johns for like the receipts.
00:45:27
Speaker
Nail John's. Yeah. Would they have a proper term? It's like a spike. Yeah. for Like tickets. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, it's funny. Nail John. And then he, so he stabs his head in to it so the head can stand up straight. Uh, and then he grabs the reagent and put some in the head and he puts some into the body because he says he's never tried individual parts before. Mm-hmm.
00:45:55
Speaker
So the head wakes up and can talk.
00:46:02
Speaker
Yeah, and he calls him a bastard. He's like, you bastard. You know, he doesn't really have his esophagus thing. Oh, so he. Yeah. When he injects him with the with the pencil, he with the pencil, I just gave him the fucking thing away when he injects him with the reagent. He's like tapping his out the pencil. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Wake up, dude.
00:46:21
Speaker
ah So after his head wakes up and calls him a bastard, his body wakes up and walks right up behind Herbert and seemingly knocks him unconscious. Yeah. And there's just a cut. Yeah. Cuts to, uh, Megan Dan in the office in a Hills office with the Dean and they're going through some old files e and Meg walks into the white room with her dad.
00:46:53
Speaker
Like an idiot. The dad looks like Palpatine. A hundred percent. Like after he gets fucking electrocuted in three. Yeah. So Dan finds a file on Meg and it has like her hair and some of her clothes in it. So if you couldn't tell his hands in, we got one. We got one. Uh, cause he's been like watching her since she was like a kid, right? It's fucking weird. I don't like it. I mean, it helps the movie, but I don't like it. Yeah.
00:47:24
Speaker
So he takes all that stuff and he walks into the room with Meg and, uh, they noticed that her dad has a hole in his head and Dan's like, Oh my God. Yeah. Uh, and he's realized that her dad's been lobotomized. So it cuts to Herbert. He's coming too. He's looking around. Herbert's not the pervert in this one. No. Shout out family guy.
00:47:54
Speaker
Yep. And he's looking around and he noticed that Hill has taken all of his serum and all of his research and he's, braing his shit bro yeah, there's nothing left. Everything's all over the place. So Dan comes in.
00:48:11
Speaker
And Herbert says that he had to kill Hill because he was going to steal his research and use it for himself to get famous. And Dan explains that Hill has a weird obsession with Meg.
00:48:27
Speaker
make ah So then it cuts to Hill's body carrying the head in his office. And the body injects more serum into the head. And the body clumsily walks around, like fumbling, falling over, uh, to a fridge and he gets some blood packs and squirts it all over the head. And he's like, it's like a charger. Yeah. He's like getting charged up. And, uh,
00:49:02
Speaker
He starts talking. Yeah. He starts talking to the Dean and he's kind of like controlling him like almost like some mind control shit. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. How do you feel about that? I don't hate it. Yeah. The movie's fun. I don't think they did a good enough job ah showing it, but yeah, it works.
00:49:26
Speaker
That's the thing about this movie. Like it has like minor like things here in there, but it's six minutes. Yeah. It's fun. only Show so much. Right. It's a fun movie. It's very, um, it's like a dark comedy, I would say too.
00:49:42
Speaker
Um, I guess it's funny. I mean, I can find things that are funny but they made to be funny. I think so. Okay.
00:49:54
Speaker
Uh, so we, it's stupid. We cut to outside the morgue again and the body is walking up to the morgue door and the security guards there, but the body has that anatomical head where it's normal head would be. And right.
00:50:21
Speaker
Uh, Hill's actual head is in a duffel bag and the security guards, like Dr. Hill, is that you? one think And the heads like, yeah, it's me. So he just lets him go. Terrible guard, terrible guard. So the body walks over to the freezer and pulls out another dead body.
00:50:47
Speaker
Uh, Dan shows up to Meg's house and she tells fucking so stupid. So stupid. She tells him like he should go away and transfer to a new school. And apparently they broke up, but they just show you them breaking up again. Right. I really know there's no point to this scene. Yeah. So that the fact that fucking somehow homeboy, uh, I guess Hill sent Halsey to go get Meg and he'd like breaks up the door. Right. He breaks through the door and starts attacking them.
00:51:18
Speaker
And then it cuts back to the morgue and the the Dean ah brings in an unconscious Meg and sets her on the table and strips his own daughter.
00:51:36
Speaker
And he'll sitting there in the fucking like litter box with like blood. and He's like, he's like coming as non-existent pants anymore. Yeah. You think he could come still, but the, his head says come, but the body. Well, if you can't tell us by to get up and grab and smash, what's his name's Herbert's forehead. He could probably jerk himself off.
Disturbing Scene with Dr. Hill
00:51:55
Speaker
That'd be crazy, dude.
00:51:57
Speaker
I don't I mean, obviously, it's a science fiction, but he in this movie with the rules they've established, he could probably jerk himself off. That's amazing. He was going to fucking eat. i Well, we'll get there. Spoiler. Spoiler. He put the chow down. So Hill ties, Hill's body ties Meg down to the table. And it cuts to Herbert at Meg's house and he finds Dan's knocked out and they rushed to the morgue. That was a quick, like five second scene.
00:52:24
Speaker
He also only he doesn't strap down one of Meg's hands. It's like one that's free. Yeah, one's free. Just kind of fucking half ass job. What a hack. What a hack. So it goes to the body, cuts back to the body, feeling up Meg's boobs, cuts back to the bush. Yeah, she's got a big old bush distracting. It is. It's the 80s line, but it is out there. It's a little too much for me. That's a little too much bush.
00:52:53
Speaker
It's a lot. Yeah. So the body's like feeling up her tits and stuff. Licking her tits. Eventually. Yeah. She like wakes up and starts screaming and the body picks up the, uh, Hill's head and he starts licking her boobs and like her neck and stuff. And she's like trying to assault is very sexual assault. He's like, she's like trying to push his head away with her one hand, but, uh,
00:53:22
Speaker
His head is about to try and give her head. Head. Head. But Herbert comes in to save the day. By the way, if you didn't catch what Gerald just said, he was about to eat her out. Yeah.
00:53:39
Speaker
So Dan sneaks in all sneaky like and covers Meg up. I want to see more Barbara Kranton tit. I don't know about you. Sure. Not against it.
00:53:52
Speaker
So they go into like the whole dialogue thing. Did you have anything of this written down? I didn't have any dialogue written. um No, all I have next is that Hill basically says that his lobotomy experiment has given him control over people, which is why he's controlling Halsey. And then the reveal that he's reanimated all the bodies in the morgue, which they just don't show you this.
00:54:18
Speaker
Yeah, a bunch of the animated corpses just wake up and wake up, wake up and start attacking everybody. Yeah, um there's this there's a struggle, I guess. And then the next thing I wrote for that was. Hell's body goes flying out of the morgue like right in front of the guard who just was not paying attention.
00:54:41
Speaker
Meg's like screaming at the Dean and everything and he starts attacking. She's like, I'm your daughter. It's Meg. It's Meg. So he like kind of breaks out of his trance a little bit and he starts ah attacking all the other animated corpses. Uh, he proceeds to grab Hill's head and start squeezing it and he like fully full on crushes it into like a mush. So Herbert starts.
00:55:12
Speaker
He has like a brilliant idea. He starts overdosing the bodies. Not very brilliant. Uh, so this part's a little strange. Uh, Hill's body like starts like opening up and like throws out his own intestines and like kind of like ties up Herber with his intestines by the neck. I thought it was fucking sick. It was sick, but then make really sense.
00:55:41
Speaker
I mean, none of this movie makes sense. There's just whatever. No, you're right. um
00:55:49
Speaker
So all the other corpses kind of destroyed the Dean, like rip him apart. Yeah, because he was like you said, he was saving. You're saving everybody. me And he gets his fucking limbs torn apart. Yeah. So Meg and Dan run away. They just leave Herbert to fuck him. Oh, Herbert's dead. Yeah, he's done. Yeah. And he throws him the notes.
00:56:12
Speaker
Right. He throws in the notes. Yeats his fucking bag. So they run into an elevator and on the way to the elevator, this corpse attacks Dan. Dan punches the fuck out of him or like puts his fingers in his eyes or some shit. Right. And they get there about to walk into the elevator and the burn victim from the freezer shows up and wraps his arm around, wraps his hand around Meg's throat and starts choking her. So Dan just jumps out of the elevator, finds a fireman ax in one of those cabinets and breaks it and cuts off the arm of the corpse choking Meg.
00:56:59
Speaker
and it cuts to Dan carrying Meg into the ER, ah like in the beginning where he's at. He puts the Meg's corpse, the Meg. He puts Meg's corpse on one of the stretchers and Dr. Herod is there as well.
00:57:20
Speaker
Harad did not do a good job illustrating that Meg was dead. Right. She had like she had like a Padme revenge of the Sith type death. It was not very good. Sure. Like unless the corpse has like super strength, but. Yeah.
00:57:37
Speaker
So Dan tries to using the defibrillators on her again, but it's not working. mor ti More More tit. Gotta have more barber cramp than tit. It's just not working. So Meg eventually dies.
Conclusion and Sequel Mention
00:57:52
Speaker
Or she was dead the whole time. She's dead. Well, yeah. She's dead. There's no reviving this bitch. She's dead dead. Yeah, she's dead dead. She got her soul sucked. Yeah. So Dan gives her one final kiss.
00:58:07
Speaker
And then he looks up and he has an idea. So he runs over into the duffel bag and grabs the serum and injects her with it. And the credits roll. It's kind of crazy that, uh, he, all that fucking wild shit's going on in the morgue and he goes up like a couple of floors. It's just like regular life. Right. When they, all' they're all just chilling up there. When they hear something or something.
00:58:35
Speaker
I mean, I don't know if the morgue is like way, way, way down in the basement, how many floors you went up, but it was kind of crazy that he just went up like two or three floors and there was just like people living in their lives. Right. Just normal ER, I'm assuming. Right. And when the credits roll, you hear a scream, which is presumably Meg's. Right. And this screaming her head off in this movie.
00:58:54
Speaker
This movie is followed by bride of reanimator, which is fine. It's fine. I haven't watched it. Uh, I have not seen the third one. There's three yeah beyond reanimator. Cause I've heard that one's terrible. It probably is. Uh, but what are you giving this on letterbox? Uh, my first watch I had it at a four and a half and this watch I knocked it to four, which is still a good rating. I respect that.
00:59:23
Speaker
Four out of five for me. ah Being my all time favorite horror movie? Yeah, we already know. I feel like it should be no surprise I'm giving it a five star. Does it have some plot points that don't really come together? Yes, but it is a very fun movie. It is a quick movie. Yeah, 86 minutes, nothing. Great gore, great acting. Jeffrey Combs is amazing as Herbert West.
00:59:52
Speaker
Barbara Crampton's a hot piece of ass. Hill's very good at being a fucking creep. Yeah. <unk> hillll What else could you ask for? More tit. It's got a lot of it. You want more? You were just saying you wanted more tit. You want more Barbara Crampton tit. That's what I mean. Oh. Who else is going to be in this movie? I don't know. That's a very shallow thing to ask for. We understand that.
01:00:19
Speaker
Yeah, it's great. I'm happy I got to watch it on the disc. Yeah, not on fucking TiVo. Disc desk definitely helps the picture quality. I agree. That is a ah phenomenal film.
