IFWT #16 - Re-Animator (1985)

Glowing green liquids, zombie cats, terrible disguises, naked corpse henchman and the worst security guard ever. It’s the one and only Re-Animator! Stuart Gordon directs a horror comedy classic starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton. Eccentric medical student Herbert West is experimenting with a reagent that has the power to bring the dead back to life. But their reanimation is short lived and violent, and when a jealous University Doctor decides to steal the chemical and take the credit for, all manner of insanity ensues. 

This week we’re taking a look back at a film which celebrates its 37th birthday this year, and see why it’s regarded by so many as a cult classic.
