Deadline has dropped our first official look at a contemporary reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic short story, Herbert West: Reanimator. Currently filming in Alton, Illinois. The project promises to prove once and for all that conquering death is the ultimate sin against life. And it is an excellent way to get yourself violently dismembered.
