RE-ANIMATOR - 40th Anniversary, 4K Restoration | 86 min | 1985 | USA | Rated 18+

Directed by Stuart Gordon

Starring: Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, Jeffrey Combs

From director Stuart Gordon and producer Brian Yuzna comes one of the greatest cult classics from the ’80s; an audacious, crowd-pleasing masterpiece that remains as wildly entertaining today as it did 40 years ago. Based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft, a peculiar new student arrives on campus at a medical college and recruits the help of a classmate to partake in some bizarre experiments centring on the reanimation of dead tissue.

Featuring iconic performances from Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, and the great Jeffrey Combs, Re-Animator is quite simply one of the wildest and most entertaining horror films ever made—the film that put the late, great Stuart Gordon on the map and paved the way for a Lovecraft revival that's still going strong.
