Critics Sentiment
Dr. Hill's severed head sexually assaults the naked strapped down Megan
Megan Halsey walks in on the cat experiment and tells Dean Halsey
The film jumps from routine plot mechanics when Megan discovers the experiment to the shocking audacity of Dr. Hill's severed head assault scene.
Re-Animator starts with solid B-movie setup and escalates through increasingly outrageous gore and dark comedy. The film peaks with its most transgressive moments in the final act, particularly the infamous severed head scene that critics found simultaneously appalling and brilliantly audacious. While some found the middle sections plodding, most reviewers praised the film's commitment to going completely over the top.
