From the director of Re-Animator... From the writers of Re-Animator... and from several of the actors in Re-Animator comes... From Beyond. This 1980s horror flick offers great practical special effects in the vein of Clive Barker and an intriguing storyline based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story.
The movie is about two scientists who create a machine called a Resonator that stimulates the pineal gland allowing humans to see beyond this reality. Instead of new dimensions or other worlds all the characters in this film can really perceive is a bunch of creatures which are there to torture and destroy them. Oh, and stimulation of the pineal gland stimulates sexual arousal so there is some nudity and sexuality, a requirement for mid-eighties horror cinema (remember the year before when a severed head "went down" on that woman in Re-Animator... well the same woman is in this one and at some point she inexplicably goes from being a scientist to a sex-crazed dominitrix).
