Principal photography has wrapped on Herbert West: Reanimator, a contemporary reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s classic horror story that was directed by Michael Grossman.
Dread has your first look at Joseph Morgan (The Originals, The Vampire Diaries) as the title character, Herbert West, alongside new shots of Katie Cassidy (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010).
The film brings Lovecraft’s infamous scientist into a modern setting, following brilliant, secretive surgeon Herbert West (Morgan), whose obsession with conquering death pushes the boundaries of medicine and morality.
Cassidy stars as Dr. Kate Locke, a pathologist with a troubled past who becomes drawn into West’s orbit and his dangerous experiments with a serum capable of reanimating dead tissue.
The project was announced earlier in July, when Morgan and Cassidy were revealed as the leads. Morgan takes on the iconic role of Herbert West, famously portrayed by Jeffrey Combs in Stuart Gordon’s 1985 cult classic Re-Animator, while Cassidy plays the complex co-lead character of Dr. Kate Locke.
The film was shot in Alton, Illinois, with Woodlake Entertainment fully producing and financing the project, led by producer Jeff Lewis. Morgan and Cassidy also serve as executive producers alongside Jeff Lewis, John Simmons, Roger Lewis, Keith Previte and David Trotti.
