Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a brilliant medical student who has perfected a green-glowing serum for regenerating life into dead things -- or even parts of dead things. But a corrupt superior, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), assumes control of West's experiments and winds up, by ghastly necessity, using the stuff on his own severed head and body. West and in-over-his-head co-worker Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) struggle to control the now out-of-control effects of the serum, but the bone-saws and zombies complicate their plans. Anchor Bay has gone out of their way with this release, delivering a brand new 70-minute featurette as well as multiple audio commentaries, interviews, exhaustive marketing materials, and deleted/extended scenes. The packaging is notable for the regeneration syringe pen, which marks this limited release as the one for collectors to shoot for.

ok this movie was the first H.P. Lovecraft adaptation i saw, it was amazing! I thought that Dr. West(played by Jellrey Combs) was a very intrusting person, the story was really well done & overall view is one of the best horror movies of it's era! I recommend bing this movie & seeing for yourself how good it really is!
Ok first off all let me tell you alittle something about this story that was in the book, is very short! Only seven pages long, the directer Stuart Gordon had to find a way to turn this seven page story into a 86 minute movie. Not only did he pull it off, he made one heck of good movie with fine actors as Jeffrey Combs from H. P. Lovecraft's Reanimator series as well as the voice of Question on justice league unlimited season 1 & 2. Other actors like Barbara Crampton from reanimator along with Ken Foree Ted Sorel & Carolyn Purdy-Gordon. This movie was about a machine used to control the sixth sense, but when used it summon a creator from beyond. so i recommned buy this movie to find out for yourself what happened, it's really good & i liked it; not only that i've waited for this movie to come out on dvd for a long time now & here it is! hope you enjoy it, i know i did!
