Building on the success of their landmark Re-Animator release, now available for purchase at Ignite-Films.com. The label continues its commitment to premium restorations with Brian Yuzna’s chaotic cult sequel — brought back from the dead in a brand-new 4K restoration, announced Jan Willem Bosman Jansen of Ignite Films, and Jim Quan of Eagle Rock Pictures, at the Fantastic Pavilion at the Marché du Film in Cannes.
Unveiled at the Fantastic Pavilion at the Marché du Film in Cannes, Bride of Re-Animator will receive a deluxe home video release mirroring the wildly popular Re-Animator 40th Anniversary Edition — packed with exclusive new bonus features, limited collector’s packaging, and fan-favorite surprises.
Synopsis:
Eight months after the Miskatonic Massacre, Doctors Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) and Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) are back - working as volunteer medics in a Peruvian civil war. But death is only the beginning: once home, West resumes his experiments, this time with a twisted new goal - to create life from spare parts and bring Dan’s late fiancée back as the ultimate re-animated creation.
A splatter-soaked chaotic cult sequel drenched in dark humor and grand guignol horror, Bride of Re-Animator pushes the boundaries of body horror with jaw-dropping practical effects from Screaming Mad George and KNB EFX Group, the renowned special makeup effects studio behind Evil Dead II, From Dusk Till Dawn, and The Walking Dead.
Bride of Re-Animator stars Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Claude Earl Jones,
Fabiana Udenio, David Gale, and Kathleen Kinmont.
This upcoming 4K UHD release of Bride of Re-Animator is the third foray into the restoration and preservation of sci-fi horror classic films for Ignite Films and Eagle Rock Pictures. Their 40th Anniversary 4K UHD release of Re-Animator was released just this month to stellar reviews from critics and fans alike.
