H.P. Lovecraft and Lucio Fulci did not team up to make the most amazing gore-sex grotesquerie of 1985. But thanks to RE-ANIMATOR, they didn’t have to. Feeling like an amalgam of FRANKENSTEIN, THE BEYOND, and REVENGE OF THE NERDS, RE-ANIMATOR is where science meets chaos to produce an hyperactive overdose of gruesome insanity. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a new student at Miskatonic University. He also moonlights as a mad scientist, intent on perfecting a serum that “re-animates” corpses. Soon, everyone wants a piece of the action, including an evil professor and his army of slime-covered deadites. With berserker direction from Stuart Gordon, career-defining roles from horror icons Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs, and a scene of two adults chasing an undead cat in a basement, RE-ANIMATOR isn’t just a masterpiece of the horror genre — it’s a masterpiece of life.
  • Cast: Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, and Robert Sampson

“All of this, ingenious as it may be and much as it will redound to Mr. Gordon’s credit in hard-core horror circles, is absolutely to be avoided by anyone not in the mood for a major bloodbath.” – Janet Maslin, New York Times

“We have been assaulted by a lurid imagination, amazed by unspeakable sights, blind-sided by the movie’s curiously dry sense of humor. I guess that’s our money’s worth.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“It’s simply the best, funniest Grand Guignol horror picture to come along in ages.” – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
