From Beyond (1986)


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


From Beyond is a 1986 American science fiction-body
horror film directed by Stuart Gordon, loosely
based on the short story of the same name by H. P.
Lovecraft. It was written by Dennis Paoli, Gordon
and Brian Yuzna.

Allmovie's review of the film was favorable, writing
"Gordon is that rare breed who truly finds
inspiration in another creator and uses that
inspiration to craft a film that captures the essence
of that creator while still being totally and
uniquely his own", calling it a "gory thrill ride of
a movie."

In their book Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to the
Cinema of H. P. Lovecraft, Andrew Migliore and John
Strysik write that "From Beyond is a visual treat,"
but add that the film's "gross sexual excess may
displease hardcore Lovecraft fans."

STORY:

Dr. Edward Pretorius and his assistant, the physician
Crawford Tillinghast, have developed the Resonator, a
machine to stimulate the sixth sense through the
pineal gland. When Crawford activates the apparatus,
he sees creatures flying in the air and he summons Dr.
Pretorius. The experiment goes out of control and Dr.
Pretorius refuses to turn off the Resonator. Meanwhile
their neighbor calls the police, and when the police
officers arrive, they see Crawford trying to escape
from his house and Dr. Pretorius beheaded. Crawford is
sent to a mental institution under the supervision of
the sadistic Dr. Bloch. However, the prominent
psychiatrist Dr. Katherine McMichaels requests the
custody of Crawford and Detective Bubba Brownlee that
is investigating the case stays with them. Katherine
goes with Crawford and Bubba to see the Resonator and
turns the machine on. Dr. Pretorius returns in a
mutant shape and attacks them, in the beginning of a
gore night with weird life forms.
