Private investigator John March is handed the most unusual case of his career when the beautiful Claire Ward turns up at his office asking for help. Her husband, the esteemed chemical engineer Charles Dexter Ward, has started dabbling in strange and secretive experiments, and has recently moved out of the marital home and into a remote and disused ancestral farmhouse to continue his activities in privacy. As these experiments take an ever more sinister turn, with reports of body parts being delivered to the property, Charles himself begins displaying increasingly erratic behavior, apparently taking on the personality of someone from centuries ago. With Charles eventually committed to a psychiatric facility for evaluation, leaving John and Claire free to investigate the property, the nightmare has only just begun… 

Taking its cue from the success of Stuart Gordon’s similarly H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Re-Animator (1985), director Dan O’Bannon’s (The Return of the Living Dead) THE RESURRECTED sought to further mine the works of Lovecraft with this thrilling take on his novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Starring John Terry (TV's Lost, The Living Daylights), Chris Sarandon (Fright Night, Child’s Play), Jane Sibbett (TV’s Friends), and Robert Romanus (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), and featuring some truly memorable and horrific prosthetic creature FX, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to breathe new life into this unjustly overlooked early 90s horror outing, which claws its way up from the subterranean lab newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with a wealth of new and archival bonus features.
