Greetings again from the darkness. "Re-animator" director Stuart Gordon does very dark comedy, while mixing in a good dose of squeamishness ... offering up a bit of revenge for dessert. Based on the truly unbelievable events in Ft Worth, we are treated to a series of guilty pleasures in a most bizarre event.
Mena Suvari ("American Beauty") finally breaks out of the boring eye candy roles and really gets to drive forward here. Veteran Stephen Rea has the perfect hang-dog, droopy look for a down-on-his-luck, destitute guy just trying to get a break in life.
Suvari's drug dealing boyfriend is played with extra mustard by Russell Hornsby. His over the top delivery often delivers just the chuckles we need during the high stress moments.
Look for a cameo by the director ... he is carrying two bags of groceries at a most opportune time. Congrats to the this team for delivering a much better ending than real life afforded.
