Re-Animator, it's all in the title. From a story by H.P.Lovecraft, this film revels in gore and humour.
Plot: Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) moves to a university to continue his studies into the re-animation of the dead and comes across a promising assistant and a doctor he deems to be his nemesis. While experimenting in his basement, West injects and brings back to life the recently deceased household moggy, but it ain't chuffed at it's resurrection. Said cat goes crazy! Watch out for the killer cat's lunge at the screen (if it's ever 3D'd, it'd be so funny). So, Herb and his mate decide to bring 'fresh' corpses back from the dead and go to the morgue at their hospital. Things go array...
This film is hysterical! Frankenstein meets The Living Dead.
Budget: $900,000
Gross: $2,023,414
Fun Fact: Sequels include Bride of Re-Animator and Beyond Re-Animator. There was also a political satire sequel, based around the presidency and the Bush years, but it got shelved after Prez Bush left office.

Personal favourite of mine, excellently paced movie, enjoyed Combs films ever since. See how long after the intro score it takes for your friends to realise it's not Psycho, that's always fun!
