Product Description

The second H.P. Lovecraft adaptation by Stuart Gordon FROM BEYOND is pure Lovecraftian science-terror. Out-there scientist Dr. Pretorious (Ted Sorel) and his assistant Dr. Tillinghast (Jeffery Combs) are working towards breaking through earthly perceptions and revealing a new alternate universe. They do this by stimulating the pineal gland of the human brain which enables people to see the strange creatures that inhabit a parallel dimension. Unfortunately these creatures can now see humans as well and they are none too pleased with it. Dr. Pretorious is killed by the floating monstrosities but the police blame his assistant for the murder and lock him up. Only Dr. Katharine McMichaels (Barbara Crampton) believes the insane tales of Dr. Tillinghast and it's up to her to shut down the experiment that threatens to unleash the other-dimensional creatures on this universe forever. Great special effects and solid performances by Combs and Crampton complement a near-perfect realization by Gordon of Lovecraft's vividly detailed and chilling vision of scientific possibilities.System Requirements:Running Time: 85 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 027616085504 Manufacturer No: M108550

Good for the 80's - but not really kitchy . . .
I would have probably really enjoyed this in the 80's - but now. . . not so much. It's a little outdated - and the effects and acting are somewhat poor. I can't believe people have rated it so high - maybe it's nostalgia.

oh!!!!!!
This flick is a l e g e n d. A great rendering of HP Lovecraft's vision. Before computer graphics, organic, special effects in it's hay day.
One of the weirdest, sickest, most bizarre and strangely sexual movie you will ever see. My Mom described it best as some sick subterranean subconscious nitemare from underwater Hell.

Mad scientist doin' mad $#!T!
From Beyond is a very twisted flick that gripped me from the beginning. Unlike a lot of horror movies that seem to be incredibly weak on story and strong on gore. From Beyond's biggest strength for me is the story with gore to match. I was hooked to this flick from the start and it only got better. I just find the imagination to conjure up something like this to be amazing.

So many films begin with the mad scientist botching an experiment. This pair of genuises actually succeed in a twisted way. They accomplish their experiment creating a machine that triggers a part of the brain that can open up a parellel dimension. Of course, this spells danger for the immediate company and soon the average joe.

The acting seemed a bit too campy when compared to the seriousness of the movie. Still, it was very good and even funny at times. The gore in this movie will definitly satisfy most gorehounds. There's a good amount of suspense and I didn't find it predictable.

Sometimes even to me, my claims of being a fan of horror comes under serious questioning. How a gem like this never registered on my radar until now is BEYOND me.
