I also agree with what you say about time dulling the edge of 'Reanimator's OTT blood & guts black comedy. I guess that's the price of progress! Having said this, I've never had the same problem with 'Evil Dead' - it has a kind of vicious hysteria about it that goes beyond comedy. |
me neither, I just know others who have.
Equally there's stuff in re-animator I still find funny, mainly the 'head giving head' as its the one part of the film that still feels transgressive and the morgue security guard constantly going off for a hand shandy right before trouble starts.
