The production team responsible for the twisted cult classic Re-Animator -- including director Stuart Gordon and producer Brian Yuzna -- returned the following year with this equally depraved (perhaps more so) follow-up, based once again (and very loosely) on the pulp-horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. Also returning to the fray is Jeffrey Combs, here playing the mild-mannered Crawford Tillinghast, apprentice to the dangerously obsessed Dr. Pretorious (Ted Sorel) and co-inventor of an enigmatic

The tone is so ludicrous and deadpan that it practically invites a late night audience to laugh as well as scream.

From Beyond stands as a stellar example of what '80s terror did best - expanding on old concepts while using any and all available resources to realize its ideas.
I'm not saying it's on the same level as Re-Animator, but From Beyond still ranks pretty damn high on Stuart Gordon's filmography.

... less concerned with black comedy and outre gore than the madness that permeates the Lovecraft universe.
The 'unrated director's cut' DVD offers a whole load of extras.
Has little to offer other than laughs at its campiness, and a reminder of how low budget filmmaking by those with higher aspirations looked, back in the day.
kick ass
Another quirky horror gem from Stuart Gordon

In this far too liberal adaptation of Lovecraft's "From Beyond", the only highlight is the creature effects and the machine props/set, which will only be of interest to fans of the bygone era of using only practical effects and may seem silly and crude to modern viewers. The pink-blue lighting of the parallel realm is
