This
mid-‘80s
classic
(loosely
based
on
H.P.
Lovecraft’s
Frankenstein-like
tale)
sees
Herbert
West
attending
an
American
university
after
a
tragedy
forces
him
out
of
Europe.
He
has
perfected
a
serum
to
re-animate
dead
tissue.
He
ropes
in
Dan
Cain,
his
new
housemate
and
fellow
student
to
take
his
research
beyond
dead
animals.
Their
first
test
with
human
cadavers
yields
catastrophic
results
leading
to
the
death
of
the
dean
(who
also
happens
to
be
the
father
of
Dan’s
girlfriend
Megan).
But
a
rival
theorist
and
lecturer
at
the
university
Dr.
Hill,
lusts
after
both
Megan
and
West’s
research
and
serum.
The
result
is
an
absolute
modern
horror
classic
with
humour
and
gore
in
equal
measures.

many

features
including
interviews.
