Dr. Edward Pretorius, an acclaimed physicist, has perfected his newest invention: the Resonator, a machine which allows those near to it to glimpse life not visible to the naked eye. Imagining the discoveries he could make, Pretorius begins to go mad, much to the concern of his young assistant, Crawford Tillinghast. However, after the machine malfunctions during a highly sensitive experiment and Pretorius is found brutally murdered, Crawford is fingered as the primary suspect. Crawford, now confined to an asylum, becomes the ward of Dr. Katherine McMichaels, who takes a special interest in his tales of the strange creatures able to be seen while the machine is operating and convinces him to help her rebuild the device, woefully unaware of the terrifying, hidden world she is about to enter…

"A stunning release for this Stuart Gordon classic. Such great performances from legends in the genre. VS always does such a great job giving classics the releases they deserve."
"This movie is a classic 80s horror flick Jerry combs at his best one of the best releases in 86"
"I didn’t believe it was possible, but this 4k Release of From Beyond looked even better than version I taped off HBO in the 80s. The colors on this release are amazing and has peak Barbara Crampton energy. I missed the first slipcase release, but I like this one even better. Another excellent VS release."
"I loved this film, it looks great on 4K, and the packaging is wonderful."
""From Beyond" is made by the same people who brought "Re-Animator" to the silver screen, including director Stuart Gordon, co-writer Brian Yuzna and actors Jeffrey Combs & Barbara Crampton. Ken Foree (Peter from 1978's "Dawn of the Dead") also stars in a prominent role alongside Mr. Combs & Ms. Crampton. It's an eerie, yet fun film, with varying creepy elements, with the villainous Dr. Pretorius (played by the underrated Ted Sorel) taking different shapes throughout the film, threatening our heroes in a lot more ways than just the obvious. The 4K UHD is packed with a lot of extras and a fantastic documentary, and the edition I purchased was the version with the 2nd slipcover. Different than the 1st slipcover, it is just as good and sturdy and well-designed with incredible artwork and embossed in places. Even had there not been a slipcover in play, "From Beyond" may be one of the top-tier Lovecraftian films created and definitely worth seeking out and owning."
