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. He uses \u003ci\u003eRe-Animator \u003c\/i\u003eto\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexplore the rise and fall of Charles Band's Empire Pictures, the revival of the mad science sub-genre, the emergent popularity of both gore aesthetics and horror-comedies, as well as a new appetite for the works of H.P. Lovecraft in adaptation. 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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEddie Falvey completed his AHRC-funded PhD on the early films of New York at the University of Exeter, research that serves as the basis of a forthcoming monograph from University of Amsterdam Press.
