A Brand New, Italian ‘Herbert West: Re-Animator’ Feature Film Just Hit Amazon

Published

We tip our hats to @PhantoMantis for bringing this one to our attention!

It’s been fifteen years since we last saw Herbert West in Beyond Re-Animator, and there’s no sign of Jeffrey Combs reprising the role any time soon. But what you probably don’t know is that Italian filmmaker Ivan Zuccon just made his own adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s Herbert West – Re-Animator, a short story that’s in the public domain.

In other words, *anyone* can make their own Re-Animator movie, and Zuccon’s is a feature length affair that takes advantage of the story’s public domain status.

And no, Jeffrey Combs is not in this one. Alessio Cherubini stars as West…

“After the loss of his daughter Eleanor, a famous scientist, Dr. Herbert West, experimenting with a special serum invented by him, desperately tries to bring her back to life.”

Zuccon’s Herbert West: Re-Animator can now be streamed over on Amazon!

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
