Boooooo! Just in time for Halloween, Jay and Jack check out a spooky double feature of Stuart Gordon schlock: Re-Animator starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, and From Beyond starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton.
@@jamalcalypse Shut up! You're only making it worse by enabling this behavior in Mike. Everyone suffers when Mike talks about Star Trek... _even Mike._
Mayor of the Galaxy Especially Mike. He’s given Rich traumatic brain injury via Picard’s second season, thus eliminating the love of his life and only true friend
I think there is a references to that quote in Divinity: Original Sin, the video game, where there is this talking head unwillingly working in a sideshow and you have to reunite it with its body.
ThatUmbrellaGuy And Hill’s response “I suggest you get yourself a pen” is simply implying his lessons and studies are to be permanent as they are derivative.
I was thinking about how David Byrne basically just looks like a mixture of the two male leads of this movie, and then I suddenly remembered what band he was in.
My favorite nod to Re-Animator is in Transformers: Prime, where Jeffrey Combs voices Ratchet, the team's medic. There's an episode dedicated to his character developing glowing green vials of goo that he injects himself with to become more powerful, but his brain becomes more primal with each use. It's complete fan service to the viewers that recognized Ratchet's voice.
Dude, Jeff Combs is the man. Watch his startrek.com interviews. Seriously a class act. I even like Would You Rather with Sasha Grey because he carries shit so hard.
@@smeqwack7337 As an English teacher, that IS interesting, now that I think about it. Perhaps it's mean more to invoke the 'feeling' of Psycho? I also know that the deaf sometimes place their hands on speakers to 'feel' music... so it could be that? (And I can't believe a comment I made three years ago is being replied to today!)
From what I remember, it was completely intentional to be just an 80's style version of the Psycho theme. They were going to put something along the lines of "Score Stolen from - Bernard Herrmann" in the credits, I believe.
28:00 "Goopy Monsters come through and everyone loses their mind", effectively summarizes 75% of what Lovecraft wrote. They clearly did their research.
Not really. I mean, Lovecraft's monsters were hugely varried. You had fish-men, floating jellyfish thingies, Cthulhu the octopus head, the plant-like Elder Things, the gaseous Colour Out of Space, the mushroom-crab Mi-Go. The only goopy monster in Lovecraft's fiction that I can really think of would be the shoggoth.
I find it ironic how everyone has very clearly defined ideas on the appearances of Eldrich Abominations, which, by definition, posses forms that cannot be grasped fully nor comprehended completely by the human mind. For "fans" of the source material, you sure don't act like it.
I went to a screening of this film where the cast and director we present. During the "head" scene Barbara ducked out and came back in after it was over. I would have done the same thing. Got a pic and an autograph later. I was one smitten kitten.
"Humans are such easy prey." So that's where the title for one of my favorite Perturbator songs came from...the AMV that goes through my head whenever I hear it is gonna really change now.
I would enjoy a re:View of "In the Mouth of Madness." I'm sure plenty of other people would, too, especially if you want to see Leto Atreides tear his own face open and Dr. Alan Grant laugh psychotically in a movie theater.
@@admech590 It's a reference to one of their best of the worst episodes. Can't remember the exact episode but the movie they watch involves an angry police chief yelling at some cops that they cause the chief to have a tums festival at the end of every day.
Barbara Crampton is fearless. I had always noticed in From Beyond that she bravely gets down in some awkward positions and angles no one would want to be seen from but she does it. Even as a 15 y.o. I appreciated the confidence of the actress.
Herbert West is one of the characters in some dude's homemade fighting game full of horror characters called Terrordrome. It's really fucking cool and free!
"It's got everything you could ever want in a movie. We got goopy rubber monsters, we got kinky sex and we got brains being sucked out through eye sockets. It's just the best." Wow, Jay went all Stefon there.
You think wrong. Lovecraft did marry, an older, rich Jewish woman in fact. It's just the marriage didn't last because he didn't want to live in New York, found it terrifying.
Lol leave the man alone. As a 29 year old man who identifies as a frazzled uncle I take exception to such hate-speech. Seriously though dude doesn't look all that frazzled. In fact I thought he looked like a high school kid until about episode 30 or 40 of half in the bag. Lol leave us frazzled uncles alone! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
I watched both of these for the first time this year and reanimator single handedly restored my faith in movies. Then Ken Forees underwear in From Beyond restored my faith in humanity.
Barbara Crampton's performance in That Scene in Re-Animator was so visceral that i legitimately fainted. saw stars and everything. i was NOT expecting that. needless to say it was impactful, what an awesome actor!!!
I don't know why but my brain was trying to see through the silliness of the Re-Animator movie, maybe I think I like the idea behind it but wanted something more. Also you forgot to mention one of the craziest parts in that movie, towards the end where Jeffrey Combs was basically eaten alive by the body of Dr Hill, which for some reason had a light inside of it.
Weaponsandstuff93 they should also review 'society'. There is this scene near the end where everything suddenly goes red I nearly gasped because the scene change was so fucked up!
That's one of those films that I saw waaaaaay back in the day on like Cinemax and simply couldn't find anywhere for years until TPB came out. Brilliant little poem of a movie. NYA!
Hah, i literally just posted this before seeing your comment. The way that movie ramps up in paranoia was stellar. The point where the MC comes back from the hospital all sweaty and smiling saying all the nightmares are real was excellent. Maybe the movie climaxes a little too hard for some though, but i loved it.
Decapitated, talking heads... and poster for a Talking Heads movie in the background, directed by Jonathan Demme... who also directed Silence of the Lambs.
This was great! Jay and Jack are a delight, and I loved this re:View!! I've never seen From Beyond, but I know what my wife and I will be watching this weekend. Thanks for another great episode, RLM!
Great re:View guys! Love both these flicks. But to me, the snapping of the pens in Re-Animator is more like an act of protest against authority more than anything else.
One thing I liked about From Beyond is how the "it" that ate the first guy is still left as a bit of a mystery. Almost like in The Thing where we don't really see the monster's original form before it started assimilating the other organisms.
I saw (unrated) Re-Animator when it was first released, and it was a sold out showing. Everyone was into this film! Going to the theaters in the 80's were the best of times. 👍👍 for From Beyond as well.
Jay really sent me down the rabbit hole with the Richard Band (Charles' brother)score because it's a whole doozy about what happened when this was released
Jack is weird, something about the way he discusses feels fake and deviated, when he agrees with jay it's for different reasons, and he reacts disproportionally too... it's kinda fascinating
What a double feature. Both incredibly fun and gory. These are tailor made for teenagers but even 20 years later I find these some of the enjoyable movies I’ve seen.
