•A young and brilliant doctor, Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs), manages to create a serum capable of bringing the dead back to life, even just parts of the body! The main problem is that the zombies return with a furious murderous instinct! It will be trouble for him and for all those who, against their will, will find themselves next to the mad West. This is the ultimate "cult" of the late Empire Video, a production company of Charles Band and Brian Yuzna. Very loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft's story "Herbert West—Reanimator" and directed by the great Stuart Gordon, the film is rich in overflowing special effects, excellently made: headless corpses walking around calmly, talking severed heads, guts that strangle the owner, mutilated limbs... this and much more! An excessive horror, at times deliberately comic (how not to mention the sequence in which the decapitated body of an undead gropes an attractive girl and the related head, placed on the ground, enjoys it!) that manages to entertain and amuse the viewer. The only flaw, if it can be called a "flaw," is that it doesn't succeed in being scary because it is intentionally designed not to take itself too seriously. Only for enthusiasts!
