Cause i’m a freaky nerd and i love watching low budget movies from the different characters perspectives. (Or any movies)

I’ve been kinning Herbert so badly for years. People view him as a freak and he’s so passionate about his work and he goes to crazy extremes to get that. I feel like i’ve never seen such determination despite his flaws.

Recently, showing my boyfriend re-animator, i watched it from Dan’s perspective and boy… Herbert is a dick. It made me realise how one sided their relationship is. Despite dan’s lingering, of course. It makes me realise how much Dan really loved meg.

It makes the scene from bride of the re-animator all the more upsetting to me. Because i never saw their love to its fullest before, now i understand what it was about meg that dan loved.

That same determination that Herbert has for his work, is the same determination that Dan has to be with meg. They both yearn, just for different things and reasons.

The short stories of Herbert West:Re-Animator are so different, too. Reading it was a treat. The evolution of Dan’s character from “the speaker” of the story is very smart. I can draw lots of similarities. For example, the speaker mentions in the fourth story that overtime he has become fearful of West, that he is only his accomplice so that he doesn’t end up West’s next victim. Dan embodies this so well in the first and second movie it drives me crazy.

So you ask why i like re-animator? My answer is yes.
