Taking place eight months after the Miskatonic massacre, Doctors West and Cain are experimenting again. But this time, instead of reanimating corpses, they’ve decided to create new life — in the form of a beautiful companion (from spare body parts, of course) for Dr. West.
Jeffrey Combs returns to star as Herbert West alongside Bruce Abbott, Claude Earl Jones, Fabiana Udenio, David Gale, and Kathleen Kinmont.
“We went big with Bride of Re-Animator — bigger effects, bigger madness,” said Yuzna. “This 4K UHD restoration really lets all of that shine. It’s alive, and it’s never looked better!”
