The first film that Jim & James review for The Cast of Cthulhu is arguably the most famous adaptation of Lovecraft's work, Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator.
The cult classic gives a name (Dan Cain) to the short story's nameless protagonist, provides him with a female love interest, and creates an intellectual rival for Herbert West.
Also, rape. The film creates a rape sequence that didn't exist in even the most nightmarish visions of the late author. Apart from that intensely horrific scene, does Re-Animator hold up as a good adaptation? Over 30 years after its release, does it even hold up as a good horror film?
