Since its release at the mid-point of the 1980s American horror
boom, Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985) has endured as one of the
most beloved cult horror films of that era. Greeted by enthusiastic
early reviews, Re-Animator has maintained a spot at the periphery
of the classic horror film canon. While Re-Animator has not
entirely gone without critical attention, it has often been
overshadowed in horror studies by more familiar titles from the
period. Eddie Falvey's book, which represents the first book-length
study of Re-Animator, repositions it as one of the most significant
American horror films of its era. For Falvey, Re-Animator sits at
the intersection of various developments that were taking place
within the context of 1980s American horror production. He uses
Re-Animator to explore the rise and fall of Charles Band's Empire
Pictures, the revival of the mad science sub-genre, the emergent
popularity of both gore aesthetics and horror-comedies, as well as
a new appetite for the works of H.P. Lovecraft in adaptation.
Falvey also tracks the film's legacies, observing not only how
Re-Animator's success gave rise to a new Lovecraftian cycle fronted
by Stuart Gordon, but also how its cult status has continued to
grow, marked by sequels, spin-offs, parodies and re-releases. As
such, Falvey's book promises to be a book both about Re-Animator
itself and about the various contexts that birthed it and continue
to reflect its influence.
