Thanks for the memories!

Let's be realistic.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's not overlong, the performances are fine and the special effects amazing but there really isn't too much to this one. There is a rather splendid set-up and then we get the awesome effects and ghastly creatures and bits of creatures and bits of bits. Then there is a reappraisal of the situation and we do it all again. I liked the fact that once the lab had been almost destroyed and the electrics shot up, things could be got together again without a whole lot of messing about. By the third or was it fourth time, the lab was repairing and organising itself meaning it could all happen again without further ado. A lot of people clearly spent a lot of time and well intentioned effort into this but ultimately it is not as amusing as it should be and very, very gooey.

From Beyond to me is one of those movies where i can honestly not find one thing wrong with it. The whole movie is a 80's masterpiece!SPOILERS AHEAD!The 80's was a time of drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll, oh and horror movies! Charles Band, the now legendary creator of Full Moon Pictures was a young up incoming producer in Hollywood. Band had grown up in and around film sets, his father Albert Band was a film director and producer in the 50's up until the late 60's. Band wanted to make movies all of his life. The next step for Band would be to get his own studio. That studio would be Empire Pictures, a company now known for such cult classics as Ghoulies, Terrorvison,Re-Animator, and much more.From Beyond is a 1986 horror/science-fiction film directed by Re- Animators Stuart Gordon. The film basic plot structure is based on the short story by H.P Lovecraft. The film at the time was Empires second most well received film next to the success of Re-Animator back 85'. The film stars a gaggle of familiar faces. Jeffrey Combs of Re-Animator fame returns in this the second H.P Lovecraft adaptation he was as the weak and terrorized Crawford Tillingghast. Next we have the ever sensual and sexy Barbara Crampton, also a Re-Animator alumni. She plays the films scientist this time around, Dr. Katherine McMichaels, a sexually repressed middle aged women. Then there is Ted Sorel of Basket Case 2 fame as the evil and maniacal Dr. Edward Pretorius, a scientist who is fascinated with pain and pleasure. And lastly we have Ken Foree of Dawn of the Dead fame playing Bubba Brownlee, a detective working alongside of Combs and Crampton. Other then great actors the film stars great cinematography and creature effects. The film was shot by legendary director of photography Mac Ahlberg. Mac is known for his work on other great horror and cult films such as The Horror Show (1989), Side Show (2001), Dolls (1987), Re-Animator (1985), etc. His direction is beautiful and very psychedelic. The screen is beautiful and full of his best work. John Carl Beauchler, Robert Kurtsman, Howard Berger, Greg Nicetero,Gabe Bartalos, Mark Shostrom, John Naulin, Anthony Doublin, These are just a few of the names that created the amazingly slimy and fantastic creature effects and makeup for the film. The films main heavy, Ted Sorel goes through quite a transformation and becomes one of the grossest and most slimy beasts in all of horror film history. This work would not of gotten on screen if it weren't these terrific artists. the film is full of scary worms, oddball monsters, and slimy abominations.The film also contains one of composer Richard Bands best musical works. The score has a hint of creep factor and eerie resonance that makes it one of his best scores.From Beyond is a classic, plain and true. The film still holds up today. The effects are magnificent. The lighting is eerie. The acting even still holds up. I love this film and all of the other Empire films from the 80's. Charles Bands Empire pictures is responsible for some of the greatest 80's films ever and this is one of them.Two-Slime Coated lampreys Up!

The film started and ended strongly but everything in between felt a bit forced and wasn't particularly engaging. Were it not for the ending I'd rate this maybe about a 4 or 5 but the end saved it somewhat. The acting was average (The mad doctor Edward did stand out as giving the best performance) and though the plot is good I felt the script had been dragged out to try and make the film long enough, really would have been better as a short.I expected more and it certainly doesn't come close to the re animator or Dagon however people who enjoy there old school gory special effects should have a blast with this.

With all the reviews here, I won't waste your time with redundancy. But I do have a word to add.First: This is available to watch free here at IMDb. Get it while it's hot!Second: Jeffery Combs is one of my favorite actors, and I harbor deep resentment at the fact that he was never elevated to mainstream success. The emotions, thoughts, and inner conflicts of his characters flicker across his visage in a way that few actors can manage. There are many actors who can do "twitchy", and a few that can't help but come off as deranged, but the discipline Combs brings to gradual mental deterioration shows great craft.Take a bow, Mr. Combs!Third: This is a rip-snortin' roller coaster of a movie. It's funnier, smarter, sexier, and more creative than the genre, audience, or era demanded. Like "A Boy And His Dog", "Flesh Gordon", "Liquid Sky", "Eyes Of Fire" or "Sore Losers", this flick rises above every expectation the uninitiated may have for it.Old school? You bet!But on a psychologically fantastic level not affected by changing fashion and technology, this little bugger should be able to freak people out for generations to come.
