The tagline on Elite Entertainment's re-mastered "Millennium Edition" of Stuart Gordon's "The Re-Animator" insists the following: "Herbert West has a very good head on his shoulders ... And another one in a dish on his desk." If you purchase this DVD, you deserve what you get, and Elite packs the double-disc set with so many goodies that it gives everything you could possibly want.

"Re-Animator" is a creatively perfect B-horror film that takes its story (very) loosely from H.P. Lovecraft's "Herbert West: Re-Animator" tales. Updated to a modern medical school, West (Jeffery Combs) discovers a way to overcome brain death, transforming benign corpses into violent zombies.

The first disc includes two commentary tracks, one with Gordon flying solo and another with super-schlock producer Brian Yunza and various cast members yukking it up.

Disc two is a gift to all nerd-dom, with over an hour of new interviews, several deleted and lengthened scenes, five TV spots, trailers, story-board-to-scene comparisons and a musical break-down with composer Richard Band.

The 17-year-old low-budget film looks and sounds like a new release, and the wry, tongue-in-cheek horror-gore and bizarre sexuality stands the test of time.
