Official Synopsis (American Genre Film Archive):
RE-ANIMATOR is the ultimate 1980s body horror experience, a joyously grotesque peer of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND, and Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a new student at Miskatonic University. He also moonlights as a mad scientist, intent on perfecting a serum that “re-animates” corpses. Soon, everyone wants a piece of the action, including an evil professor and his army of neon-slimed deadites. With berserker direction from Stuart Gordon, career-defining roles from genre icons Barbara Crampton and Combs, and a scene of two adults chasing an undead cat in a basement, RE-ANIMATOR isn’t just a masterpiece of the horror genre—it’s a masterpiece of life.
