There were some fantastic ‘b’ movies made in the 1980’s. Thankfully, a few of them have received dvd transfers…unfortunately, this one (aside from a rare Japanese release) hasn’t…yet! The partnership behind ‘Re-animator’, Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna AND the stars including Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton re-united for this classic of modern horror based on an H.P. Lovecraft story. Ken Foree of the original ‘Dawn of the dead’ and the late, great Ted Sorel also star in this twisted tale of a mad scientist who discovers a sixth sense and an alternate world through his invention of a machine, created for those very purposes! Unfortunately, his discovery is not without side effects…for him or for those trying to stop him from playing god.
Some great special effects and make-up alongside an underated cast make this a dvd must-have…all we need now is a dvd must-release!

This a truly a hidden B-Movie style gem! Another H.P. Lovecraft story starring Jeffrey Combes (who is also in Re-Animator, another Horror delight written by H.P. Lovecraft) which makes with the Horror and Gore pretty much from the get-go! When an experiment goes horribly right (yes, right) after a new Invention called the Resonator is powered-up, shocking “its” from “the other side” are released and the Inventor, Dr Pretorious meets a rather grizzly end, leaving his somewhat horrified Assistant Dr Crawford (Combes) in a Mental Instution rambling about what attacked him on that fateful night when Dr Pretorious lost his head over the Invention (literally!) It’s also attacking Crawfords brain like a Tumor, so his newly-assigned Psychiatrist and her Bodyguard/Cop Friend are sent to see this Invention in action at the House of the late Pretorious, despite repeat warnings from Crawford that he is going to destroy the Machine the first opportunity he gets. After seeing the Resonator live the Psychiatrist believes she has witnessed a positive breakthrough for Mental Health, and potentially a cure for schitzophrenia, but the Monsters from beyond and the Resonator have other ideas. Will anyone get out sane? I really enjoy this Movie because it’s extremely original, I truly haven’t seen anything else like it at this point, so for me it makes it a pretty stand-alone Horror. It’s been really well directed and stays interesting and scary all the way through! Prepare yourself, you never know what’s waiting to be found…!!
