Description of this Reanimator Poster
Re-Animator (also known as HP Lovecraft's Re-Animator) is a 1985 American horror film, based on HP Lovecraft's 1922 short story "Herbert West-Reanimator". Directed by Stuart Gordon and produced by Brian Yuzna, the film stars Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West, a medical student who invented a reagent capable of reanimating deceased bodies. He and his classmate Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) begin testing the serum on human cadavers, and come into conflict with Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), who has become infatuated with Cain's fiancée (Barbara Crampton). and wants to appropriate the invention.
Originally conceived by Gordon as a stage production and then as a half-hour television pilot, the television script was revised to become a feature film. Filmed in Hollywood, the film was originally rated X, then was edited to get an R rating for video rental stores.
Re-Animator is the first film collaboration between Gordon and Combs, the second being From Beyond, released in 1986. It is the first film in the Re-Animator series, followed by Bride of Re-Animator in 1990 and Beyond Re-Animator. Animator in 2003. Released to mostly positive reviews, Re-Animator has since been considered a cult film.
At the Institute of Medicine at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, Herbert West brings his deceased professor, Dr. Hans Gruber, back to life. There are some horrible side effects though; as West explains, the dosage was too high. When accused of killing Gruber, West replies, "I gave him life!"
West came to Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts, to pursue his medical degree. He rented a room from another medical student, Dan Cain, and transformed the basement of the house into his personal laboratory. West demonstrates his resuscitation reagent to Dan by reviving Dan's dead cat Rufus. Dan's fiancée, Megan Halsey, daughter of the dean of the medical school, witnesses this experiment and is horrified.
Dan tries to tell the dean about West's success in resuscitating the dead cat, but the dean doesn't believe him. When Dan insists, the dean implies that Dan and West have gone crazy. Barred from school, West and Dan sneak into the morgue to test the reagent on a human subject to prove that the reagent works, and thus save their medical careers. The corpse they inject comes back to life, but in a frenzied and violent zombie state. Dr. Halsey stumbles onto the scene and is killed by the reanimated corpse, which West then kills with a bone saw. Excited at the prospect of working with a freshly dead specimen, West injects his resuscitation reagent into Dr. Halsey's body. Dr. Halsey comes back to life, also in a zombie state. Megan, who arrives on the scene by chance, is hysterical. Dan collapses in shock.
Dr. Halsey's colleague, Dr. Carl Hill, a professor and researcher at the hospital, takes charge of Dr. Halsey, placing him in a padded observation cell adjacent to his office. He performs surgery on him, lobotomizing him. During this operation, he discovers that Dr. Halsey is not sick, but dead and resuscitated.
Dr. Hill goes to West's underground laboratory and attempts to blackmail him into handing over his reagent and notes, hoping to take credit for West's discovery. West offers to demonstrate the reagent and places a few drops on a microscope slide containing dead cat tissue. As Dr. Hill looks at this slide in the microscope, West hits him from behind with a shovel, then decapitates him with it. West then reanimates Dr. Hill's head and body separately. While West interrogates Dr. Hill's head and takes notes, Dr. Hill's body sneaks up behind him and knocks him out. The body brings the head back to Dr. Hill's office, along with the reagent and West's notes.
In his reanimated state, Dr. Hill gains the ability to control other reanimated bodies telepathically, after performing brain surgery on them. He then asks Dr. Halsey to take Megan away from Dan. As she is carried to the morgue by her resuscitated father, Megan passes out. Upon arrival, Dr. Hill undresses her and ties her unconscious body to a table. She regains consciousness as Hill's body and severed, bloodied head begin to sexually assault her.
Hill's body begins to place his head between Megan's legs, but he is interrupted by the arrival of West and Dan. West distracts Dr. Hill while Dan frees Megan. Dr. Hill reveals that he has reanimated and lobotomized several corpses in the morgue, making them susceptible to mind control like Halsey is. However, Megan's voice awakens a sense of protection in her father, who fights the other corpses while Dan and Megan escape. In the ensuing chaos, West injects Dr. Hill's body with a fatal overdose of the reagent. Dr. Hill's body quickly mutates and attacks West, who screams at Dan to save his job before being carried away by Dr. Hill's monstrous innards.
