Re-Animator
Re- Animator( also known as H. P. Lovecraft's Re- Animator) is a 1985 American horror comedy film loosely based on the 1922 H.
P. Lovecraft serial novelette" Herbert West – Reanimator".
Directed by Stuart Gordon and produced by Brian Yuzna, the film stars Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West, a medical student who has invented a reagent which can re-animate deceased bodies.
He and his classmate Dan Cain( Bruce Abbott) begin to test the serum on dead human bodies, and conflict with Dr. Carl Hill( David Gale), who is infatuated with Cain's fiancée( Barbara Crampton) and wants to claim the invention as his own.
Originally devised by Gordon as a theatrical stage production and later a half- hour television pilot, the television script was revised to become a feature film.
Filmed in Hollywood on an estimated budget of$ 900,000, the film originally received an X rating, and was later edited to obtain an R rating for video rental stores.
