Synopsis: Don Coscarelli's (the PHANTASM series, BUBBA HO-TEP) cult sword and sorcery epic is a bold tale of witchcraft, spectacle, and revenge, where barbarians jostle for power and nature is a force to be reckoned with.
After his family is slaughtered by sinister lords of evil, an innocent boy carries his anger into manhood, vowing bloody vengeance. Armed with supernatural powers and the innate ability to communicate with animals, Dar (Marc Singer, Television's V-The Series) embarks on a journey to bring justice to the marauding forces of evil, lead by malevolent priest Maax (Rip Torn, MEN IN BLACK).
Aided by experienced hunter Seth (John Amos, DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER, COMING TO AMERICA), beautiful slave girl Kiri (Tanya Roberts, Charlie's Angels) and a team of fierce yet loyal animals, the intrepid adventurers take their fight to a dark and desolate landscape where swords cut deep and beasts roar loud.

Synopsis: Adapted from H.P. Lovecraft’s sepulchral 1922 pulp horror story, arguably the first such tale to ever consider scientifically affected corpses as zombies, RE-ANIMATOR is Stuart Gordon’s cult classic trip into the realm of the living dead!
Conducting clandestine experiments within the morgue at Miskatonic University, scientist Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs, FROM BEYOND, THE FRIGHTENERS) reveals to fellow graduate student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) his groundbreaking work concerning the re-animation of fresh corpses. West’s secret reagent is a powerful injection with the capacity to give life where there is none – destined to capture the imagination of the entire scientific community.
However, between life and death is a thin thread of understanding and when obsession gets the better of West, there is no stopping his wicked ways – dead or alive! Presented complete and uncut in gore-glistening HD, RE-ANIMATOR is a true gore-fest of mortal manipulation in the most demented sense!

BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR Synopsis: The mad Dr. Herbert (Jeffrey Combs), the tormented Dr. Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and the beheaded Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) return in this terrifying sequel to RE-ANIMATOR.
It's been eight months since the Miskatonic Massacre stained the halls with blood - and Dr. West and Dr. Cain's experiments have taken a bizarre turn. Now they have gone beyond re-animating the dead... into the realm of creating new life!
The legs of a hooker and the womb of a virgin are joined to the heart of Dr. Cain's dead girlfriend - and the bride is unleashed upon her mate in a climax of sensual horror.
BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR Synopsis: When he was young, Howard Phillips (Jason Barry) watched his sister get torn apart by one of Dr. Herbert West's (Jeffrey Combs) reanimated corpses. Phillips, now a doctor, is so eager to learn more about the mad doctor's attempts to bring back the dead that he accepts a position at the prison where West is being held. Phillips delves further into West's gruesome research, which attracts the attention of a local reporter (Elsa Pataky) and the cruel prison warden (Simón Andreu).
