Greeted by enthusiastic early reviews, \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator \u003c\/i\u003ehas maintained a spot at the periphery of the classic horror film canon. While \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator \u003c\/i\u003ehas not entirely gone without critical attention, it has often been overshadowed in horror studies by more familiar titles from the period. Eddie Falvey's book, which represents the first book-length study of \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003erepositions it as one of the most significant American horror films of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Falvey, \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator \u003c\/i\u003esits at the intersection of various developments that were taking place within the context of 1980s American horror production.

Falvey also tracks the film's legacies, observing not only how \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator\u003c\/i\u003e's success gave rise to a new Lovecraftian cycle fronted by Stuart Gordon, but also how its cult status has continued to grow, marked by sequels, spin-offs, parodies and re-releases. As such, Falvey's book promises to be a book both about \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator \u003c\/i\u003eitself\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand about the various contexts that birthed it and continue to reflect its influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46449735205015,"sku":"9781800859418","price":3765.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781800859418.webp?v=1769147756","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/re-animator-9781800859418","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
