I feel as though most of the discussion in this thread wouldn't be this way if this weren't a genre film. The arguments against it involving the fact that there are too many films like it in the canon just don't hold up. Saying that Evil Dead 2 already fills the slot that Re-animator would fill is just absurd. Making the argument that one horror movie that uses gore to get a rise out of the audience can't get in because there is already another gory horror movie is like say that two dramas shouldn't get in because they both are heavy on the emotional dialogue or that two comedies can't get in because of there use of goofy humor. Evil Dead 2 is my favorite movie and I vote that re-animator be right there with it. Hard Yes!
