Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the back of the DVD case:



Stuart Gordon's debut, Re-Animator is a horror classic and From Beyond is an

attempt to get lightning to strike twice. Once again, Gordon and producer / co

-writer Brian Yuzna make a horror film loosly inspired by an H.P. Lovecraft

story. Get culy hero Jeffrey Combs and scream queen Barbara Crampton to star

and guess what? It's actually as good in it's own way as Re-Animator. They

really pulled it off!



Combs isn't quite as outrageous this time around, but he's still excellent and

Crampton has a more important role, which includes her memorably dressed up in

bondage gear.



Another actor from Re-Animator, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon is also in the supporting

cast along with Ken Foree. Ted Sorel play the part of Dr. Pretorious (a

deliberate reference to Bride of Frankenstein) in a role one could almost

imagine was written specifically for the late David Gale (Re-Animator's Dr.

Hill).



The story is original and unpredictable, the suprisingly dark humor is subtle

and the special effects are extremely effective. If you enjoyed Re-Animator,

you're going to love From Beyond. Gordon and Yuzna's subsequent careers have

been extremely uneven but give credit where credit is due. This one is a

winner!
