Re-Animator (NC) - Stuart Gordon Tribute Night

86 minutes – United States 1985 – Dir: Stuart Gordon
Starring: Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott and Barbara Crampton
 
Re-animation, the science of bringing dead creatures back to life, is Herbert West’s dream. West tests his secret life-rejuvenating potion on some cooperative corpses at a local morgue. It’s a success! But only a temporary one – as the dead spring to life, violently reacting to their re-animation. Zombies are loose and now West cannot control the beasts he has re-created.
 
“A bona fide classic of '80s horror, and one of the funniest splatter-comedies of all time” Under The Radar

STUART GORDON TRIBUTE NIGHT
In 1985 Stuart Gordon immediately became one of America’s most notable fantasy/horror directors with the zombie classic Re-Animator. The film was grisly, humorous and subversive, and these are qualities that Gordon retained throughout his subsequent movies. To honour the late filmmaker (Gordon passed away in 2020), Triskel Arts Centre presents an evening of his first three movies: Re-Animator, From Beyond and Dolls. Vintage horror movie trailers will also be screened before each picture. See all three films and get 33% discount.
