Why the scores diverge

The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
Re-Animator: Characters are crafted to serve the horror and dark comedy narrative rather than acting as symbolic or tokenistic figures.
