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!
