Obsessed with defeating death, brilliant but deranged medical student Herbert West invents a glowing green serum that can reanimate dead tissue. Roping in his sceptical roommate and fellow student Dan Cain, the two perform increasingly dangerous experiments on dead bodies that spiral out of control. 

Loosely based on a H.P. Lovecraft short story, this deliciously camp, darkly comic cult favourite blends grotesque, glistening body horror with outrageous slapstick - a descent into madness and joyous chaos!

This screening is part of Scalarama Leeds 2025 Film Festival, a DIY celebration of pop-up cinema and independent film exhibition.
