Who's going to believe a talking head?

Good/bad so-(deliberately)-bad-it's-good zombie (?) movie, loosely based on the Lovecraft story. Unremittingly awful if taken seriously, the actors nevertheless play it straight, despite their ever-more-ridiculous dialogue. Jeffrey Combs is especially good as the maniacal Herbert West, obsessed with re-animating corpses -- apparently by injecting them with fluorescent dye.

Lots of gore, lots of violence, lots of nudity -- mostly female -- and a short but particularly disgusting piece of soft-core zombie porn, but constant hilarity. Magically appearing pants! Intestinal throttle!

See it, just don't take it seriously.
