What a waste of my time!!!

Truly Dreadful Film

Best movie ever!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

While I enjoyed this B movie greatly, there is no way that it was not influenced by the great New England master of supernatural lore, HP Lovecraft. After all, filmed by citizens of New Hampshire and Vermont, no doubt fairly well-versed in the work of Lovecraft, as is nearly every supernatural and horror B movie scriptwriter. And the similarities with From Beyond are obvious, yet with a lighter touch that makes this venture stand well on its own. Nice animated model insects similar to what would be done in a Band/Full Moon Production, as is the brief glimpse of the "other world". How many here will understand the reference to the "videodisc" being recorded by the old-time inventor of the "other world" viewscope gadget?

This movie sucks. Period.I cannot begin to describe it in words. My friends and I rented it for a laugh, based on the cover and summary we new it would suck. And it did. First, the acting is downright hideous. The main character is horribly cheesy. He is such a geek stereotype. His friend David, is an odd character. He is buff, looks like superman, and wears glasses. However, he is likely to be the smartest character of the movie. The main character's black friend overacts incredibly. She uses her eyebrows to talk for her. Finally, the granddaughter of the scientist plays a horrible witch.Second, the plot is ridiculous. Why are there random nude scenes? Please tell me! Sure, ill give the director credit for the video camera view, but its overused and very cheesy. Also, the machine opens up a wormhole, melts the camera to the guys head, enables him to see out of it, brings alien bugs to earth, AND lets the bugs control the dead to turn them into zombies. Yes, zombies.Don't get me started on the dialog. So much of it is unbelievably cheesy. "Are you the granddaughter?", followed by "I am." in a ridiculous tone.I actually encourage you to rent this movie with friends to make fun of how horrible this movie is. It almost seems impossible for a movie to suck this bad. Watch it, make fun of it with your friends, and be glad there are still sane people on earth.

I watched the whole of this movie last night, and I managed the first forty-five minutes by laughing at it but after that wears off it becomes a really really dull movie, with very predictable events. It may be a homage to old '50's B-Movies, but those can actually be 'scary' or at least interesting, and don't use graphics they cannot pull off (usually). This movie however uses bad graphics that they cannot maintain so cover up or don't show again! The sound appeared to be dubbed (which made me think it was a foreign film for a while, which could have been an excuse), however this was not the case and it just turned out to be really annoying. The parts of the movie 'filmed' through 'sheps' video camera were a nice touch, but having half the movie filmed like that seems cheap and tacky.

From the same director that brought us the horrible yet lovable Draniac now comes Psyclops! I must say I really enjoyed this movie, it was quite inventive and bizarre. Obviously Psyclops was made on a super low budget like all Brett Piper films, but therein he works his magic.If you don't like low budget films then you probably aren't going to like the movie. This isn't the latest $100 million Hollywood blockbuster, nor does it ever claim to be. Paradoxically this movie makes you think hard about possible parallel universes, and at the same time suspend your disbelief in order to enjoy the utterly fantastic story.Scant few films still use stop-motion animation (ala Harryhausen), but Brett Piper still uses them in many of his movies, including this one. The stop-motion animation is very campy like a cheesy sci-fi film from the 1950's, and I'll guess that it's an homage to that era. Psyclops also uses opticals and various forms of CGI, but they are scant and it doesn't rely on them all that much. Did I mention that Psyclops has zombies with good old special effects makeup?Watching many new films each week I generally see a heap of unoriginal films, or trendy forgettable films. Psyclops may not be exactly Oscar material, but for a "B-Movie" it succeeds where so many others fail in originality. I've seen Psyclops twice now, and it was just as good the second time around as the first.
