Review of From Beyond (1986) by Paul B — 10 Jan 2011
From Beyond (1986) - [6.0] -- The 'alternate universe' aspect of Lovecraftian horror is something I don't think I'll ever appreciate, but if that's your bag, Stuart Gordon's "From Beyond" might float your fancy.
I like the psycho-sexual stuff going on, especially when everyone's pineal glands are unknowingly stimulated, causing Barbara Crampton to don a dominatrix outfit and straddle an unconscious man. I'd like the movie to have been more psychological and less conceptual.
Maybe then I could have gotten into it more. But Gordon keeps the movie nice and claustrophobic, and it moves at a brisk pace. Jeffrey Combs and Ken Foree are engaging in lead roles.
