Greetings from Ignite!
Scout Tafoya, Editor-in-Chief at Ignite Films, traveled to Boston this past weekend to attend the Boston Underground Film Festival, where the brand-new 40th anniversary 4K restoration of Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator screened to a sold-out crowd at the historic Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square.
Among a vibrant lineup of genre films, Ignite and Eagle Rock’s sparkling new restoration earned howls of laughter and gasps of delight from a packed and enthusiastic audience. Horror icon Barbara Crampton was in attendance, introducing the film and joining a lively Q&A with legendary horror journalist Michael Gingold. Crampton shared behind-the-scenes stories from the making of Re-Animator, insights from the set, and reflections on her enduring career in genre cinema.
Audience reactions spoke volumes:
“I thought it looked fantastic. I really liked it. Excellent. Everything I could have hoped for as a fan of the movie.”
“The restoration looked absolutely incredible. Those greens, those reds, I want to say I’ve never seen it look better.”
“It looked fantastic. From the beginning, all very clear, very sharp.”
“That beautiful film grain was present in every single frame.”
Adding to the BUFF chaos: a spontaneous dance contest (yes, really) where lucky winners took home the new 4K set, complete with the collectible Dr. Hill Bobblehead.
Scout reunited with Brattle tech director Alex Kittle before the screening, soaking in the nostalgia of one of Boston’s most cherished cinemas. “You can measure a life at the movies,” Scout noted, “and I’ve done a lot of living at The Brattle.”
The new Re-Animator 4K restoration is now touring select cities. Catch it on the big screen if you can!
