Details, cover art and release date for Re-Animator Blu-ray!

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Do you remember your first time seeing RE-ANIMATOR? Sort of one of those movies that has always just been there for me. Can’t recall the very first time, but I do know I was probably way too young to be seeing such things as… well, almost everything that occurs in this flick. And now we’ll be able to watch it in high definition!

On September 4th, Image Entertainment will bring Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR to life on Blu-ray for the very first time, presented in a brand-new 1080p HD transfer approved by producer Brian Yuzna. Fans of the ghoulish cult classic had better get excited too, because this sucker is packed with extras.


Adapted by Dennis Paoli, William J. Norris and Stuart Gordon from the H.P. Lovecraft short story, Re-Animator tells the strange tale of medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton), both of them drawn to odd new student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) who’s conducting secret experiments involving the re-animation of dead tissue. When one of the instructors, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), stumbles upon their activities, West murders him — but is brought back to life, now thirsting for revenge as well as lusting after Megan. The final denouement features the re-animated Dr. Hill squaring off against Herbert and Dan in a battle royale within the school’s morgue, complete with resurrected “henchmen” and undoubtedly one of the greatest visual double entendres in all horror cinema!
