It's an odd one. As I said, I recall being impressed by certain things, but not that much by the film as a whole. Seeing it now, I'd have to say it's much better than I felt at the time, and much more of a thoughtful film than I'd recalled. (Yes, it is rather nasty at times, but the actual gore element is surprisingly slight, given the incidents of the film....) Certainly a much darker film than Re-animator, with the majority of the humor of a quite different quality; much more symbolic and ironic overall....
