‘Still stands as the best film-adaptation of any H.P. Lovecraft story to date… Jeffrey Combs’ phenomenal performance caps off the film, which stands as an expert blend of legitimate horror with a dark streak of humour ranging from wry, intelligent quips to good, old-fashioned splatstick’

‘Splatter heaven, its gore is exceeded only by its wit’
★★★★
Washington Post
‘A ground-breaking horror/black comedy that reintroduced HP Lovecraft to a new generation and set a new level as to how far on-screen outrageousness could go’
Radio Times
‘A gross-out slapsticker to rival The Evil Dead’
Total Film
‘This is one of the greatest films ever made. Period. It’s outrageous, erotic, gory, jaw-dropping, genre-busting, shocking and altogether exhilarating filmmaking’

One of the most celebrated, outrageous and original 1980s horror films – Re-Animator – has been revived thanks to Second Sight Films, with the release of Stuart Gordon’s seminal film on Dual 4K UHD/Blu-ray Limited Edition and Standard Editions.
Get ready to see H.P. Lovecraft’s terrifying tale – produced by Brian Yuzna and starring Jeffrey Combs (The Frighteners, Star Trek: Deep Space 9), Bruce Abbott (Interzone, The Bride of Re-Animator) and queen of horror Barbara Crampton (From Beyond, You’re Next) – in all its gory glory, alongside a bloody bucketload of special features.
The horror classic is out now in a barnstorming new Box Set presented in a rigid slipcase with new artwork by Krishna Shenoi and a fascinating essay filled 120-page book. It includes a dual format three-disc edition including one UHD and two Blu-rays, with main feature and bonus features on both discs. Special features include The Integral Version in HD, a new audio commentary and a slew of archive commentaries, interviews and features. Please see full list below.
Brilliant, if somewhat deranged, medical student Herbert West (Combs) arrives at Miskatonic Medical School and is not impressed by his professor’s outdated views on death. West has his own outlandish theories and when he discovers a serum that can re-animate dead flesh, all hell breaks loose.
Roping in fellow student Dan Cain (Abott) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Crampton), their shocking experiments work all too well with horrific results, and it isn’t long until the campus is overrun by the undead, placing the faculty and fellow students in devastatingly disturbing danger.
Bring your collection back to life with the dead good Re-Animator Dual Limited Edition, another must-have set from Second Sight Films.
