“Herbert West: Re-Animator” (** out of four) was a grisly Italian remake of the 1985 cult classic about a troubled scientist (Emanuele Cerman) experimenting around with a special serum that brings his daughter (Rita Rusciano) back to life but with unexpected and demented consequences. Plenty of gore but missing the sense of humor that made the original a standout for fans and is unexpectedly grim and serious instead. Italian scenery is beautiful and Cerman is solid in the lead role but it will eventually wear you out.
