From Beyond, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: From Beyond Year: 1986 Director: Stuart Gordon Rating: Category IIB (US Rating: R) Length: 85 Min. Video: Widescreen 1.50:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: Chinese Stars: Jeffrey Combs Barbara Crampton Ted Sorel Ken Foree Carolyn Purdy-Gordon Plot: "A hilariously grisly amalgam of sex, shock and satire. Do I laugh or do I scream? Both." - Newsweek If you loved RE-ANIMATOR, wait until you visit FROM BEYOND! It's a critically-acclaimed shocker based on H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale of suspense that takes you where no horror film has! The Resonator is a gruesome machine that activates a special sixth sense - one that makes its victims crave human brains. You're in for a wonderfully slimy time when you go FROM BEYOND! Extras: N/A My Thoughts: This is one of the movies that our good friend Achim sent to me. So it is a Hong Kong release (no region coding). I thought I never seen this movie before. But I now believe I had as some of the scenes in it looked familiar. It is not a great movie... but it was worth watching. I did enjoy it. One thing that kinda bothered me off and on through-out the movie is the forced Chinese subtitles. They distracted me from the movie a few times. As I said... the movie is pretty good., had some disgusting scenes in it. I don't think I would really classify it as gory... because when I think gory I think blood and guts... humans being torn apart. While there is a bit of blood. This seems different to me. It is more on the line of things you never seen before that look pretty gross. And those things coming apart and such. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Unwatched DVDs on January 7th, 2010) The Wolf Man (1941), a review by Tom
Stars: Claude Rains as Sir John Talbot Warren William as Dr. Lloyd Ralph Bellamy as Colonel Montford Patric Knowles as Frank Andrews Bela Lugosi as Bela Plot: Featuring a heartbreaking performance by Lon Chaney Jr, this story of a cursed man who transforms into a deadly werewolf has not only become a masterpiece of the horror genre, but of all time.

My Thoughts: I was quite bored by this movie. Sadly it didn't really keep my attention.Rating: (From Tom's 2013 Horror Marathon on October 20th, 2013) The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaThe King of Queens What's the show about? Doug Heffernan is a delivery man for International Parcel Service (IPS). His wife, Carrie, works as a secretary for a law firm. Both live in a house in Queens, New York and in the basement of that house lives Carrie's father Arthur. That living arrangement leads to all kinds of funny situations. "Pilot" Doug has just got his new TV which is placed in Doug's sanctuary - the basement, when Carrie's sister comes to the house to tell them that Arthur's wife (or girlfriend? - she does not seem to be Carrie's or her sister's mother) has just died. When Arthur tries to live alone he accidentally burns down his house and has to move into the basement of the Heffernan's house... My Opinion Another really good sitcom and this one I'll finish when I get the remaining seasons on DVD. (From The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon on January 5th, 2008) |
