H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale has a new twist in the hands of the creators of the Re-Animator (1985). When it comes to movies based on the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Stuart Gordon's low-budget directing is amazing. Sadly, most of his movies are direct-to-video and never hit the mainstream, but that doesn't stop us horror fans on the Internet from finding his masterpieces.The Resonator is a powerful machine made up of intense circuit boards and microprocessors. It's built for one purpose: to control the sixth sense. It does so by stimulating the brain's pineal gland, which allows us to see the hidden creatures all around us, and naturally, lets them see us. [the creature effects look fantastic] The first time they switch it on, it kills its creator, Dr. Edward Pretorious [Ted Sorel], and resulted in his associate, Dr. Crawford Tillinghast [Jeffrey Combs], being committed into an insane asylum. When the beautiful Dr. Katherine McMichaels [Barbara Crampton] becomes determined to continue the experiments of the late Dr. Pretorious, she opens a door to a parallel universe and finds a new level of the human psyche. Victims become creatures who need to feed on-- and get aroused by-- human brains. The Resonator is the ultimate man-made-monster and something horrible has happened... No one can switch it off.
If you have time to watch a crazy movie this October, definitely watch H.P. Lovecraft's From Beyond.
Female nudity, creatures, gore, and machines... What else could you ask for?
