"an H.P Lovecraft adaptation,an excellent mix of violence,humor and gore."
--- WEBMASTER
Plot:
The story is about an uppity medical student named Herbert West (played by Jeffery Combs)
in probably his best role ever. West, while in med school, performs a gruesome experiment
on a corpse with his patented green serum and brings it back to life. He then gets tossed out
of the school and moves into a house with doctor Cain(Bruce Abbott) to do further
research on the formula on his own.
He encounters some resistance from his main adversary, Dr.Hill(played by David Gale)
who wants to stop him at all costs and who literally loses his head over the whole matter
later on. Hill is a twisted,perverted old doctor with only a couple of things on his mind:
Barbra Crampton and stopping West.
West begins his strange experiments with Cain and the two doctors start running around the hospital,
collecting dead bodies for their tests. Dr.Hill then meets his messy demise but his severed
head still keeps on going. Everything goes haywire when they enter the hospital morgue and
all the dead bodies spring back to life.
