Re-Animator by Eddie Falvey
Since its release at the mid-point of the 1980s American horror boom, Stuart Gordons Re-Animator (1985) has endured as one of the most beloved cult horror films of that era.
'The contextual analysis of Re-Animator in this typically thoughtful Devil’s Advocates study examines it as a pivotal product of the briefly thriving Empire Pictures.. Falvey’s analysis hits just the right tone of affection, with pleasing incidental detail.'
Steven West, FrightFest
'Re-animator is fertile ground for thinking about the role of horror cinema in America, both aesthetically and sociologically, and even politically. That's what Eddie Falvey does with the film in the latest monograph from the Devil's advocates series... The thoroughness of his account is exemplified by the bibliography, which is a great place to start for those who want a deep dive into the significant changes in horror films from the mid -80's to the present.'
