Director Stuart Gordon has never exactly been a stranger to controversy. Having already had obscenity charges levelled at him after a university production of Peter Pan (Tinkerbell was gay, Peter a hippy and the trip to Never Never Land was on LSD), his co-founding of Chicago's infamous Organic Theater soon followed. All before he'd even picked up a camera. No surprise, then, that his first foray into filmmaking can hardly be described as understated.
Based on H.P. Lovecraft's 1921-22 pulp series Herbert West: Re-Animator. A medical student returns from Austria after working in regenerative experiments with a well known scientist who died under mysterious circumstances. He enrolls at Miskatonic University where he begs to differ with his professor on issues of the time of death, and eventually enlists his roommate to help him continue experiments on re-animating the dead.
