First of all I want to reach the depths of obscure B-movie horror.I'm currently concentrating on seeking,watching and reviewing extremely rare and forgotten horror movies."Doctor Strain the Body Snatcher" is very tough to find,but I managed to see this poor "Re-Animator" clone.The storyline is paper-thin as it concerns the doctor of some sort conducting experiments on the dead.His nephew helps him to raise some badly made melting zombies.There is even a short scene of the skeleton with the candle in his jaw raising from its coffin.The sound quality is absolutely terrible, the film is dreary and badly lit.A huge bore with almost nothing interesting to offer.3 out of 10.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a Shot On Video remake/remix/rip-off of Re-Animator that has the worst quality filming, the most drone soundtrack and ends right in the middle of a scene. Some people will say that that sounds like a bad time. These are not the kind of people that you want to hang out with.
This movie also has long dialogue sections, longer montages of science happening and something else called God Science, which involves regenerated serial killers out of the grave. Also, no one seems to notice that Dr. Strain's face is basically falling off. Were the people of his area that polite? Was this made in Canada?
I used to record drone black metal and actually recorded a laundromat behind some of my guitar parts to give it a sound that was covered up with strange mechanical noises and the sound of water. I can only assume that the people that made this movie did the same, because so much of it is barely audible, which makes it even better, because you can just drop out and allow the power of this junk to warm your veins.
Also - I have no idea if this is shot on 16mm or video and if you're the kind of person ready to fire off an angry mail because I don't know, I'm ready.

Abortive loaf of steaming rejectamenta

Positively torturous, undecipherable shambles of a horror film concerns the titular doctor(who gets more excoriated and leperous with every scene)and his nephew as they incautiously revive corpses in their basement laboratory. Whatever the hell was supposed to be passing as a storyline within this deservedly unnoted DTV debacle is unclear to me...all I can say for certain is that it's REALLY, REALLY AWFUL. 1.5/10
*update-May, 2005*
I have re-watched this film, and it's even worse than I recalled...the sound quality is so poor that there are points where the characters sound like they're talking under water. It should be noted, too, that this "film" comes to a screeching halt right in the middle of a chase scene...WTF??? I retract my previous 1.5 rating and replace it with a solid goose-egg --- 0/10...one of the all-time worst. How did this amateur stink-bomb ever get distributed?
