After years of waiting, Stuart Gordon's From Beyond is finally out on blu-ray, and be thankful that it is. Undoubtedly one of Gordon's (Re-Animator) best films and one of the best H.P. Lovecraft adaptations ever filmed, From Beyond revolves around survivor Crawford (the great Jeffrey Combs) of an experiment gone hideously awry. A psychiatrist (Barbara Crampton) however wants to continue the experiment, and returns to the house where everything went wrong, along with Crawford and a cop named Bubba (Dawn of the Dead's Ken Foree). Naturally, things don't go very well, but in Gordon's hands, the otherwise predictable story and events are frequently gross, and frequently entertaining. There's plenty of gorey, slimy moments to be had, as From Beyond is finally restored in all it's uncut glory after years of only being able to see it as a butchered, MPAA approved version that floated around on VHS. The blu-ray itself has some great special features as well, including an insightful commentary from Gordon, and a couple featurettes as well which detail the making of the film as well as it's re-editing for blu-ray. All in all, it's so great to finally have From Beyond in all it's uncut glory on blu-ray; and it's needless to say that if you're a real horror fan, this blu-ray belongs on your shelf.Read full review

Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ted Sorel and Ken Foree star in Stuart Gordon's 1986 sci-fi/horror film based on H.P. Lovecraft's story. A scientist and a psychiatrist are effected by a machine that opens a door to an alternate universe. This is a good 80's sci-fi/horror flick that's basically The Fly Meets The Thing. It had good, grotesque effects, a good score and it's nice to see Combs & Crampton together again after "Re-Animator." This set not only has nice picture and sound, but the uncut version of the film plus neat extras. I recommend this.
In my opinion, better than Re-animator, and probably my favourite Lovecraft film adaptation. Unfortunately Jeffrey Combs does not get to go as quite off the rails as one would hope; those honors go to Barbara Crampton this time! Scream Factory Blu Ray is a nice upgrade, but this film really deserves a 4K transfer.

FROM BEYOND is a wonderfully gruesome tale of horror based on H. P. Lovecraft's classic tale of suspense. Dr. Katherine McMichaels, a beautiful psychiatrist, and her associate, Dr. Crawford Tillinghast, have discovered a sixth sense. Their detailed studies have found a dimension where the ultimate pleasure is reached by EATING another human's mind! The Resonator is the powerful machine that controls this new pleasure zone. Without warning, the Resonator turns itself on, possessed by some unexplainable force. Crawford is the machine's first victim-turning him into a new creature who feeds on human brains. Now, Crawford searches out every brain he can find because...a mind is a terrible thing to waste! If you loved Re-Animator, wait until you see FROM BEYOND!
I love Lovecraft, I like these movies. Picture and sound quality are great. You kinda have to like 80's horror movies to get into this but if you do it is an excellent buy
