The Exquisite Reanimator

2021

Born out of a 2020 pandemic virtual movie screening group, The Exquisite Reanimator developed the idea to "remix" film subtitles in conversation with a friend- initially the idea came from altering subtitles before a screening, just enough to catch people by surprise. As the idea developed, it grew to become a film game, where The Exquisite Reanimator would guide 20-30 writers to creatively re-imagine foreign dubs of popular films, each rewriting a scene without knowing what the others had written.

While his current physical location is unknown, he is active on the internet, and hopes to maintain anonymity to protect the parodies he facilitates from studio intervention.

Фильмы

Exquisite Little Corpses

Without knowing what the others have written, 27 writers creatively re-subtitle individual scenes of the Hindi-dubbed Little Women, after the fashion of the French artist's game "Exquisite Corpse". The resulting montage comedically re-imagines, very loosely, the March sister's trials and tribulations with... eating horses? Eldritch rituals, melon-mercenaries, ankle fetishists, and an offscreen epic battle all help steer this confusing masterpiece towards a jumbled conclusion.

Exquisite Corpse that Died Hard

The Exquisite Reanimator

In the fashion of the French game "Exquisite Corpse", 26 writers creatively re-subtitle individual scenes of the Hindi-dubbed Die Hard 2- without knowing what the others have written. The resulting patchwork comedically re-imagines, very loosely, John McClane's heroic protection of an airport from... male strippers? Dejected snowmobiles, furries, Burning Man devotees, and a few cereal mascots all help steer this cinematic trainwreck towards a hilarious end.
