Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott star in this horror directed by Stuart Gordon. When medical student Dan Cain Abbott finds his pet cat has been killed and stored in a fridge, he suspects the hand of his crazed flatmate, Dr Herbert West Combs. West is perfecting a serum which can reanimate life, and as his experiments begin to yield positive results, Dan and his girlfriend Megan Barbara Crampton become privy to the dubious methods by which the deranged doctor conducts his research. Before long Dan is helping West reanimate the corpses in the hospital morgue, an unwise action which leads to a night of unimaginable terror.
