Cine-Excess 2025 Screening: Re-Animator (Stuart Gordon, USA, 1985)

A brilliant if somewhat deranged, medical student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) concoct a serum that will bring the dead back to life.
About this Event

Director Stuart Gordon and Producer Brian Yuzna became celebrated cult film collaborators with their work on this film, which used H.P. Lovecraft to revive the moribund American horror scene of the 1980s.

In the film, brilliant if somewhat deranged, medical student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) arrives at Miskatonic Medical School and immediately sneers at his professor's outdated views on death. West has his own outlandish theories and has concocted a serum that will bring the dead back to life. Roping in fellow student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott), their shocking experiments work all too well with horrific and very messy results.
