From Beyond DVD Review
Fangoria has just posted up a review of the Unrated Director’s Cut From Beyond DVD. Its a good review with a good bit of info and thoughts.
If FROM BEYOND isn’t held at quite the same esteem as the filmmakers’ previous RE-ANIMATOR—and it should be—perhaps that’s because it explores seriously the combination of horror and eroticism pitched with go-for-broke, jet-black humor in the earlier film. Comic outrageousness is often more attention-getting than a straight face, but the latter approach pays off in FROM BEYOND, which plumbs deeper than RE-ANIMATOR did and pays off in both dramatic intensity and frights aplenty (and, to be sure, a scattering of sick laughs). Its rep has also been tarnished somewhat by cuts imposed by the MPAA on its more grotesque sequences, but all has been rectified on MGM/Fox’s DVD (coming September 11), which restores the film to its uncut glory and backs it up with a fitting supplemental celebration.
