BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR 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 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.
The film returns in a director-approved 4K UHD restoration, delivering the outrageous, blood-soaked sequel in its most definitive presentation to date. Years after defying death itself, the brilliant and unhinged Herbert West resumes his forbidden experiments, dragging a reluctant Dan Cain into his most audacious creation yet.
Darker, bolder, and more grotesque than its predecessor, Bride of Re-Animator escalates the franchise’s pitch-black humor and elaborate practical effects to thrilling new extremes. Director Brian Yuzna expands the mythology with grander set pieces, escalating chaos, and unforgettable imagery that cemented the film’s cult reputation.
Loaded with newly produced bonus features, a 60-minute documentary, and extensive legacy extras, this release is a must-own for horror fans and collectors seeking the ultimate edition of one of the genre’s most fearless sequels.
The new Bride of Re-Animator 4K UHD is available in four editions, including the Ultimate Limited Edition Box Set featuring a Finger Creature collectible that doubles as a desktop phone holder. With limited quantities available, this exclusive hand-painted collectible will not be restocked once it’s gone.
The Bride is expecting you, so don’t miss it.
