Review of From Beyond (1986) by Allan C — 11 Dec 2016
A work of genius by a true master in Stuart Gordon at the height of his career, when Empire Pictures commanded decent budgets and effects work. Deft use of mostly interiors and sound stages once again.
Brilliant acting from the great Jeffrey Combs and always steady Barbara Crampton, who reverse their respective roles in The Re-Animator to great effect. Wonderful practical effects, great set design and lighting.
It's everything you want a classic American 1980s horror film to be, and it's also one of the best Lovecraft adaptations ever (Gordon directed nearly all the other contenders).
