In a world where science intersects with the macabre, a young medical student, Herbert West, arrives at a university to continue his experiments on life and death. His obsession with reanimating dead bodies leads him to challenge the boundaries of medical ethics and human sanity. With his peculiar and disturbing ingenuity, Herbert develops a serum that can bring the dead back to life, but things don’t go exactly as he plans.
Accompanied by his skeptical roommate, Dan Cain, Herbert begins conducting his tests on cadavers that, after being injected with his bright green solution, return to life in a… to put it mildly, unconventional manner. As the experiments intensify, the consequences become increasingly terrifying and hilarious, transforming an academic setting into a true chaos of zombies and madness.
With unexpected twists and a very dark sense of humor, this story explores the limits of scientific morality and the extremes to which madness will go. Among horrifying scenes and absurd moments, the characters must face the repercussions of playing god, while death and insanity intertwine in a chilling dance. A film that defies the conventions of horror, blending laughter and screams, it has become a cult classic that has left an indelible mark on the history of horror cinema.
