I love making lists. They keep life organized and help determine what to do next. I also love watching how writers work around some very real problems in a movie. Prime example "this character is dead, how do they do anything? BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE!" Always a brilliant move, because a movie full of dead people always ends well. Based on these two loves, I made my top 5 resurrection methods in movies. Enjoy.
#5: Lightning (Frankenstein, Friday the 13th part 6). It's a base element with such mystery and power, why can't it bring the dead back?! While we're at it, next we'll send the dead into space to bring them back... wait, Jason X. Nevermind.
#4: Cloning (Alien: Resurrection). Bringing something that died for good reason back from a piece of DNA found after a massive fight. This was simply genius. Sometimes, just do what you must and not what you can.
#3: Virus (Resident Evil, possible for Night of the Living Dead). This really causes one of my favorite debates in horror movies: what causes a zombie? It's side in this debate alone makes it a top 5 winner.
#2: Curse (Pumpkinhead). Bring back the dead WITH demonic power. Whoever does this deserves the butt of a gun to the back of the head. Really? Superpowered dead. If this happens to me, I have to enter it on FML.com
#1: Being peed on by a dog (Nightmare on Elm Street 4). A dog pees fire on the spot Freddy was buried and this brings him back to life. I have to give points for creativity and, somehow, stand in awe of the mythic power of this one but I really have to ask a few things. How bad was this dog's urinary tract infection that it peed fire?! What was it drinking? Why didn't it's bladder simply explode?
