Chaste
Horror legends Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna team up with horror icons Jeffrey Combs, Ken Foree and Barbara Crampton to mold HP Lovecraft into kinky body horror.
Chills/Thrills: Gordon's Lovecraft adaptations are really more gonzo comedies to me, so this one is funnier than it is scary.
Gore/Ownage: 10/10, possibly some of the coolest gore, body horror effects of all time. Brian Yuzna knows how to make everything look wet as hell, and we love it. The shit where Combs' pineal gland bursts out of his head like an angler fish lure and he starts sucking out people's brains through their eyes is everything a horror movie should aspire to be.
Horniness: 10/10, one of the horniest movies of all…
From Beyond is one of my all time favorite horror movies from the 80's and its overshadowed by one of the all time great horror movies of the 80's... one could argue for days which one is better yadda yadda... but for me, both films are priceless diamonds in Stuart Gordon's Lovecraft crown.
A lurid, neon drenched carnival of cosmic scifi horror... complete with Combs, Crampton, Foree, pineal gland lore, delicious slime covered effects and post-The Thing body horror, and a sexual deviant gloop monster slathered in cosmic hued lighting. I go more into my obsession with Lovecraft stories in my recent Color Out of Space review so I won't bore you with the details, but I love this movie.…

An ode to the sexual ether, and one of the great showcases of practical-effects.
“He’s trying to start the resonator... FROM BEYOND!”
Neon lights, goop, madhouse science craziness, pineal glands, and a grotesque shape changing sexual deviant monster.
Based off the H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name and released a year after Re-Animator, From Beyond is often overshadowed by The tale of Herbert West and honestly, at least in my eyes, it shouldn’t be. From Beyond is the shadow to Re-Animator, every bit as goopy, gooey, and intense while leaving the comedy aspects at the check in desk (although tbh I don’t find Re-Animator funny as most others seem to, I’m more disturbed by it than anything).
Jeffrey Combs once again owns the screen with his performance, but he’s not alone, Barbara Crampton…
i feel so blessed that all my fathers got together to make this movie for me to enjoy
Action!: Lovecrafting with Stuart Gordon & The Talking Heads
Having dazzled us with his take on Frankenstein, Stuart Gordon outdoes himself with another fantastic adaptation on HP Lovecraft.
Indeed, the makeup work and practical effects are at a whole new level that I think only "Society" could compete (funny enough the director of that film is the producer of this one). It's a delight, it's terrifying, and it's also really funny. That third act alone is a marvel, with all these limbs being ripped apart, bodies popping out of unexpected places and stuff coming out of people's faces - its just beautiful.
As for the performances, everyone manages to do an excellent job. I like the way Combs handles himself throughout…
An easy 5 stars for me! This is one of the 80’s greats and personally I like it even more than Re-Animator,
It’s ooey and gooey and full of beautiful gross practical effects that honestly even today look better than most of what we see in mew horror movies. In spite of how problematic Lovecraft is as a person, I’ll always be a huge fan of his work and that love goes back to my early teenage years when I was just diving deep into horror for the first time. Poe didn’t do too much for me, but Lovecraft absolutely captivated my soul and I love that Yuzna and Gordon worked so hard to keep the spirit of his work in their movies.
Plus Jeffrey Combs and Babs Crampton! I’ll watch anything with Babs and she is especially beautiful in this. And Jeff looking pretty damn cute too. Makes you wonder what was going on off camera ohkaaaayyyyy.
Barbara Crampton has never been more beautiful.
Again, she gives herself body and soul to play a character quite sexualized and going through a huge range of emotions: pride, empathy, fear, excitement, desperation and, finally, madness, the expected end for all Lovecraftian protagonists who didn't succumb during the film.
The final scene isn't original, but is very well executed by Barbara.
She is accompanied again by another giant when it comes to adaptations of works by H. P. Lovecraft: Jeffrey Combs. The two worked together under the direction of Stuart Gordon, in the classic "Re-Animator" (before this film) and then in "Castle Freak", both adaptations of Lovecraft's tales. Combs even played H. P. Lovecraft himself in the movie "Necronomicon" in…
I caught this on cable last night and as soon as I finished it I got up, grabbed my keys and went out to go buy the Blu Ray/DVD from Scream Factory because I immediately needed to watch it again with the commentary track.
I loved Re-Animator so obviously I knew I'd really like this one too but I didn't expect to like it this much.
We get a completely different Jeffrey Combs in this movie. This time he's the victim. He's handsome. He's vulnerable. He wears a sweater.
Barbara Crampton plays a psychologist. According to the commentary track they thought she was too young to be this hot shot psychologist so they decided, "eh...give her big glasses." Genius.
Ken…
Poor Barbara Crampton. Spent the entire 1980s getting her boobs slobbered on by greasy prosthetic limbs.
"You've seen all you need to see."
"There's always more to see."
Re-Animator arrived first and left a massive impression. It's very GREEN and Jeffrey Combs is very HOT. Jeffrey Combs Jeffrey Combsing the way only Jeffrey Combs can do. Career defining moments for like, everyone involved. In my early viewings of From Beyond, I saw it as a very worthy extension of it's older sibling. It's subtleties have revealed themselves to me more over the years. Re-Animator approaches science fiction with a direct uncomplicated pulp style. The power of it lies in the performances and the intelligent storytelling ability of Stuart Gordon. Being familiar with the overall theme is most important. The feeling that Lovecraft was able to convey.…
