Growing up in Cleveland you hear the story about Danny Greene. One is still able to drive by the building where his murder took place. Unfortunately, the movie was only good not great. First it was filmed in Detroit not Cleveland. Second, quite a few fabricated storylines in movie. Third, it was only released locally. Should have been national. The actors were very good. Overall, I would recommend the movie if not simply for the historical value.
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.

Great eighties horror flick. Effects are priceless. Was unaware but the limited video box comes with a test tube highlighter simulating the reanimating serum. The movie is campy but fun to watch.
