Story
Medical student Herbert West arrives at Miskatonic University with a controversial obsession: reanimating dead tissue using his homemade reagent. Initially experimenting on animals like cats, West's ambition grows as he moves on to human corpses. He convinces his skeptical roommate Dan Cain to assist him, leading to a series of grotesque and humorous reanimated incidents around the campus. Their secret experiments catch the attention of Dr. Carl Hill, who seeks to steal their work. As West's experiments intensify, so does the chaos, culminating in a bloody confrontation between West, Hill, and the reanimated corpses.
