Re-Animator is a movie about the deranged medical student, Herbert West. West was a man obsessed with conquering death, and he was successful when he created his re-agent. The re-agent gave him the ability to re-animate dead tissue. After being banned from his school for re-animating his professor, West travels to Miskatonic University so he can continue his studies. There he meets Dan Caine, a fellow medical student. Dan and Herbert begin to work together and manage to earn the loathing of Doctor Carl Hill. Doctor Hill attempts to steal West's research, then becomes the latest experiment. The ending is one large zombie fest that sets the stage for the sequel, Bride of Re-Animator. The un-cut version of this film contains some of the more graphic scenes that had to be removed from the film. One of these is a scene sometimes refered to as "head giving head" in which the severed head of Carl Hill engages in bizzare acts with Caine's girlfriend Meg. The uncut version is actually shorter since it doesn't contain many of the dialogue scenes added after the cuts to lengthen the movie.
