What's it about
A mad scientists' wife gets suspicious about the experiments on dead animals and other such things her husband is working on in attempts to create eternal life. Telling her woes to the local Butcher, the wife and butcher take it in their own hands to stop him... with re-animated results.
Is it good movie?
The film wasn't visually stimulating, and the story wasn't immensely engaging, but what drew me in was the 'severed head vision' that cut in and out of the storyline- I had to keep watching to know what it was and what was going on. And with a running time of just over 10 minutes, I didn't have to wait long. The acting wasn't anything of note, but the effects and the kick-in-the-pants 'shock' ending were great and made the whole thing worth while.
Since it was shot, cut, adapted (from a story by Ramsey Campbell) and directed by Jane Rose, it's safe to say that this was her baby- and considering that it's such a low production, methinks Rose could do some really great things with a studio gig. Props to her for creating something that, while nothing new to the genre, was entertaining and relished in the macabre.
Video / Audio
Video looked good in it's full screen format.
Audio was what you'd expect.

Last Call
If you're a fan of the macabre, H.P Lovecraft and tales along the same wavelength as RE-ANIMATOR, then this little film is for you.
