Plot :
Crawford Tillinghast activates a device designed to stimulates the pineal gland with resonant vibrations. It allows him to see creatures that exist in another dimension - but the creatures turn and bite off the head of his superior Edward Pretorious. Tillinghast is placed in an asylum. Psychiatrist Katharine MacMichaels is sent to see if Tillinghast is sane enough to stand trial for Pretorious?s murder. Impressed by his patient rationality, she has him released into her care and they return to the house to set the experiment up again. Only this time they succeed in unleashing the creatures from beyond with nightmarish results.

Mere words just betray the unholy splendor that is FROM BEYOND. This is one of my personal favorites here on the site- and let me tell you: it is 300 pounds of whompin' stompin' badass. Everything about this movie just seems to click perfectly. The movie has tons of truly nauseating special effects (the mutated pineal gland that pokes out of a oozing wound in the forehead for feeding is damn nasty), plenty of hysterical dialogue, plenty of weird ass monsters that leap out at every turn, and a wonderful little plot convention that the presence of the 'unearthly transmissions' from the Resonator make everyone horny as hell. The victim base, although relatively small for the larger part of the film (consisting of the three intrepid investigators) has wonderful chemistry together- and its genuinely hilarious to see them react to the trans-dimensional powers of Dr. Pretorius and his minions. This movie is about as solid as they get, folks. A true juggernaut of the genre that is overshadowed by many less worthy horror films.

However, I must give huge props to Re-Animator star Jeremy Combs' character in From Beyond: Dr. Tillinghast. This poor bastard has got to be one of the most abused and mistreated heroes in all of horror filmdom. Rivaling the Evil Dead Trilogy's Ash character for all the shit he takes.... Throughout the course of 85 minutes, Dr. Tillinghast is stabbed, beaten, electrocuted, burned, blown up by dynamite, has all his hair fall out, put into a coma, has his face bitten by space slugs, thrown down the steps, decapitated, partially digested by a giant toothed worm monster, slapped by a mutant space bat, hit with flying glass, tackled, mutated, forced to eat brains, stung by swarms of space bees, has his titties burnt, gets his pineal gland bitten off after it pokes out itself out of his forehead, gets his shoulder dislocated in an armbar, and swallowed whole by the heaving flesh of an extra-dimensional super demon. Whew.

Z-MAN - Night Of The Creeps

A worthy follow-up to Re-Animator [1985], boasting great special effects [remember when it was made, in an age before horror films were being ruined by unconvincing CGI effects] and enlivened by campy, tongue-in-cheek performances and some genuinely funny dialogue. Hugely entertaining and much under-valued by those who simply wanted Stuart Gordon to make Re-Animator again.

found on crazymazey ! at last a proper englsh version of this horror classic !

previously only available in cropped chinese hardsubbed version or german dub

the rip is undersized and the video quality would have benefited from mp3 instead of ac3 2.0 audio, but hey, it's perfectly watchable so no worries

patience, i'm the only source...

CTHULU FTHAGN !
