Re-Animator + Bride of Re-Animator (Classic Horror Double Feature)

  • DVD
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, Fabiana Udenio
  • DIRECTORS: Stuart Gordon, Brian Yuzna
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • RE-ANIMATOR: HERBERT WEST HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS… AND ANOTHER ONE ON HIS DESK. When medical student Dean Cain advertises for a roommate, he soon finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West. Initially a little eccentric, it some becomes clear that West entertains some seriously outlandish theories specifically, the possibility of re-animating the dead. It’s not long before Dean finds himself under West’s influence, and embroiled in a serious of ghoulish experiments which threaten to go wildly out of control… Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic terror tale Herbert West Re-Animator and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of 80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre’s finest hours.
  • Here is the REVIEW

  • BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR: DATE. MATE. RE-ANIMATE. The success of Stuart Gordon’s hit horror-comedy Re-animator meant that a sequel was all but inevitable. The resulting follow-up, Bride of Re-animator – this time helmed by director Brian Yuzna (Society, Return of the Living Dead 3 and Producer of the original Re-animator) – would prove that there was a good deal more life left in the story of Dr. Herbert West and his ghoulish exploits. It is 8 years since the Miskatonic massacre. Unperturbed by the disastrous outcome of his previous meddling with the dead, Dr. West (again played by Jeffrey Combs) continues his research into the phenomenon of re-animation; only this time, he plans to create life – starting with the heart of his young protégé Dan’s dearly deceased, Meg Halsey. Surely nothing could go wrong. With special effects master Screaming Mad George (the man behind the infamous ”shunting” sequence in Society) on hand to contribute a host of characteristically weird and wonderful creations – including zombified bats and a one-eyed finger spider – Bride of Re-animator is a more than worthy successor to Gordon’s original cult classic.

  • DVD
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Maxine Peake, Brooke Skylar Baptist, Delta Storm Baptist
  • DIRECTOR: Steve Reeves
  • SYNOPSIS: This taut, claustrophobic British psycho-thriller stars Maxine Peake (The Theory of Everything, 2014) as Charlotte, a high-strung, ice-cold business executive who finds her life spiral into a world of violence, blackmail, and murder. Angry for being passed over for a promotion at work, Charlotte returns to her super modern high rise flat early. There she sees her Eastern European cleaner smoking in her pristine flat and when she notices a champagne bottle missing, her brittle veneer of a successful businesswoman cracks and the result is a bloodied, dead cleaning lady. Panic, coupled with cold efficiency, kicks in, as she works to get rid of the body and any evidence of her crime. But she when she discovers a something in her cleaner’s car, her plot to keep her crime hidden takes a decidedly different turn. A gripping tale infused with twists and turns that keep the viewer guessing until the final shocking ending. A HorrorNews.net presentation.
