From Beyond

1986 · 85 min

A gooey, gleefully deranged descent into sensory overload, equal parts gross-out spectacle and hysterical dread.

Tagline
Humans are such easy prey.
Overview
The Resonator, a powerful machine that can control the sixth sense, has killed its creator and sent his associate into an insane asylum. When a psychiatrist becomes determined to continue the experiment, she unwittingly opens the door to a hostile parallel universe.
