If Re-Animator hit the spot, these will too

Common ground in both: halloween and black humor
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Re-Animator does

Common ground: halloween

Both land ideas and wit at once

Both are built on the same subject: zombie

Playful and dread-soaked in the same breath

Science fiction built on unease, twice over

Cerebral horror, and it commits to that

Dread-soaked comedy in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: experiment

Science fiction with a pulse of wit, in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on unease more than on horror
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

One thread runs through both: black humor
The difference: Leans harder into fantasy than Re-Animator does
