From Beyond

Stuart Gordon's follow-up to Re-Animator is amazing. It has disgusting gore, tits, Jeffrey Combs, and a scene where you can clearly tell the actor is wearing a bald-cap. From Beyond is almost better than Re-Animator. Stuart Gordon is an excellent director of actors. If only he could make his FX look realistic. However, part of the charm of From Beyond is the low budget FX, so you better get your suspension of disbelief ready if you want to watch this flick. On second thought, Gordon did a lot with a little, so this movie is absolutely perfect.

Barbara Crampton cranks her performance up a notch from Re-Animator. She must've thought her performance was so weak in Re-Animator that she got embarrassed and became a better actress. Ken Foree (the black guy from Dawn of the Dead) is hilarious in this movie, except I don't understand why they have him run around in a thong for one of the scenes.
