Re-Animator
Directed by Stuart Gordon
This classic ‘80s cult horror hit follows a student who brings the dead back to life. Herbert West (the brilliant Jeffrey Combs) has just enrolled at a new school after an attempt to revive a former professor went very wrong. Convinced he’s on the verge of a breakthrough, West sneaks into the morgue and revives a corpse, and that’s where the terror—and comedy—begins. RE-ANIMATOR was the first, and still the best, of Stuart Gordon’s gruesome (and raunchy) H.P. Lovecraft adaptations. 30 years later, it remains essential viewing for any true horror fan. Contains violence and gore.

80s Cult Horror isn't complete without the Re-Animator film series🍤🔪
I watched it on VHS the first time around. I can't believe it took 40 years to recognise the genius that this movie represents.
One of my favourite movies - hands down! It's gory, campy and hilarious! I mean, has Jeffrey Combs ever turned in a bad performance (rhetorical question - of course he's never had a bad performance - he's the GOAT!). Watch it. Just watch it!
SO brilliant. completely campy, it aged into comedy
classic. will always be in top picks
