Crazy scientist Herbert West brings the dead back to life and they become violent.
Perhaps this tongue-in-cheek schlock owes a huge debt to Frankenstein with its story, but it's a huge amount of tacky fun, especially to those who enjoy the horror output of the 1980's. It won't really appeal to anyone outside the intended audience.
A series of sequels materialised, but they were more disgusting than they were enjoyable.
