In celebration of its 40th Anniversary, the 80s horror/comedy classic, RE-ANIMATOR, is back in theaters NOW with a new 4K Restoration from Ignite Films & Eagle Rock Pictures. Tickets are available at Regal Cinemas and Cinemark for limited special screenings! Additional dates may be added. The 4K restoration by Ignite-Films & Eagle Rock Pictures is being theatrically released through American Genre Film Archive.

The film follows Herbert West, a brilliant yet unhinged medical student who creates a serum that reanimates the dead with horrifying consequences. Director Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator shocked audiences with his blend of grotesque horror and dark humor and became an instant cult classic upon its release in 1985. The film stars Jeffrey Combs as “Herbert West,” Bruce Abbott as “Dan Cain,” Barbara Crampton as “Megan Halsey,” David Gale as “Dr. Carl Hill,” and Robert Sampson as “Dean Halsey.”

In celebration of its 40th Anniversary, RE-ANIMATOR returns, and for the first time ever, in a stunning 4K UHD restoration, approved by producer Brian Yuzna. The restoration brings new life to this horror classic, based on H.P. Lovecraft’s twisted tale.

The Ignite Films & Eagle Rock Pictures RE-ANIMATOR 4K UHD restoration in theatres now is also available for Home Entertainment at the Ignite Films website, where it will be exclusively available for the entire 40^th Anniversary Year, until 2026, announced Jan Willem Bosman Jansen of Ignite Films and Jim Quan of Eagle Rock Pictures, this morning.
