‘Re-Animator’ Returns To Theaters In Honor of Its 40th Anniversary
In celebration of its 40th Anniversary, the 80s horror classic Re-Animator is back in theaters! This version is the brand-new 4K Restoration from Ignite Films & Eagle Rock Pictures. The 4K restoration by Ignite-Films & Eagle Rock Pictures is being theatrically released through American Genre Film Archive, and will be on 271 screens in 235 markets. And, excitingly, this 4K UHD restoration has the approval of producer Brian Yuzna.
The film follows Herbert West, a brilliant yet unhinged medical student who creates a serum that reanimates the dead with horrifying consequences. Jeffrey Combs stars in the film as Herbert West alongside Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, and Robert Sampson.
“I’m excited about the 40th Anniversary 4K UHD Blu-ray release of Re-Animator—it looks great! Especially if you have a big screen! An excellent restoration, it’s like seeing it for the first time again,” said Yuzna. “Stuart Gordon would have been super proud, and so happy that Re-Animator is still connecting with horror audiences and that this restoration is re-animating the movie in all its glorious madness—just as Herbert West intended!”
Tickets for Re-Animator are available now from Regal Cinemas and Cinemark. Check your local showtimes for screenings.
But that’s not all!
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 40th Anniversary Year, until 2026.
“Working with Brian Yuzna on this 40th Anniversary 4K UHD release of Re-Animator has been an incredible experience. His passion and dedication to the film made the entire process a real pleasure. Seeing this horror classic look better than ever is so exciting, and we can’t wait for fans to celebrate this milestone with us. It’s a true celebration of a film that continues to captivate audiences 40 years later,” said Jim Quan from Eagle Rock Pictures.
“People love this film! Over time, Re-Animator has only gained more fans who understand its evergreen appeal of an outrageous story, told with humor and horror in a grand and almost operatic way. To see the beautiful new 4K restoration in all its cult glory is a sight to behold. I know cinephiles will enjoy it for years to come,” said Barbara Crampton.
