Re-Animator gets Buffy’d: Die Serie

Was die Welt ja wirklich nicht braucht, ist ein Remake von „The Re-Animator“, dem schönen kleinen fiesen Bastard von einem Horrorfilm, der bis heute genau so wunderbar funktioniert, wie er ist. Das dachten sich auch andere Leute und haben das 3D-Remake des Films kurzerhand abgesagt. Und das wäre eine schöne, kleine Meldung, wenn es nicht noch andere Menschen auf der Welt gäbe, die ich einfach mal Arschlöcher nenne und die meinen Lieblingsfilm mit fliegenden Köpfen als Fernsehserie verwursten wollen.

Demnächst also Herbert West mit neongrünen Flüssigkeiten in Serien-Optik mit schönen, weißen Twens. Oh noez!

What BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER was for Gothic storytelling, HERBERT WEST: RE-ANIMATOR will be for sci-fi and horror.

Fall–Freshman Year–Miskatonic University

The campus is finally reopening after 10 years of closure. It seems years ago, a student suddenly possessed with an uncontrollable rage broke out into a violent murder spree that left half the campus up in flames. Officials never found out just what filled the young man with the desire to kill so many.

Herbert West, a dark and mysterious young man, arrives on campus, instantly shining as a brilliant young student and the object of many of his female schoolmates’ desires. We soon learn that along with his medical school, Herbert also has a secret passion that he relentlessly is pursuing. Late at night when everyone else is gone, Herbert conducts groundbreaking experiments…to learn the secret of life itself…to unlock the code that will allow him to reanimate the dead.

Charismatic, sexy and dangerous, Herbert’s obsessions eventually draw his young colleagues, friends and lovers into his dark world. They will all share in the rewards and consequences of meddling with things that man was not meant to–all the while dealing with their own growing relationships and unfolding subsequent storylines inspired by the fantastic works of H.P Lovecraft.

Soon, the group of friends discovers that their campus is also becoming an increasing hot spot for scientific and sometimes horrific phenomenon. It’s as if the place is becoming a portal for the unknown. Could it be that Herbert’s secret experiments are the cause of these occurrences…or is it something much more indescribable?
…
Some will not survive and others will wish they hadn’t. HERBERT WEST–RE-ANIMATOR is a fresh, contemporary take on all of H.P. Lovecraft’s immortal horror works.
