A less scattered brother to Evil Dead, this does have borderline camp moments thanks 2 some hokey staging & stock character-types straight from How to Make a Horror Movie for Dummies. But like Evil Dead this is one raucously entertaining film that's lean, mean & primed 4 good gore. Movies this completely devoid of excess fat r exceedingly rare & there's not a moment here that doesn't drive the narrative towards the next outrageous thrill & build 2 the appropriate nervous breakdown of a climax

Holy crap that made no sense. The only way I can make anything out is if I attach the psychosis idea to disable every character in this movie from making a rational decision. And that's just stupid.

This is so cool and fun. I want a poster of it on my wall, because I want everyone to know that I love this film. Cast is ridiculously good. Not saying the acting is good in a conventional way, but it is perfect for this type of films. Once again, I see how CGI ruined genre flicks. There's no way computer effects can top makeup that you see here. Classic.

Wild interpretation of yet another H.P. Lovecraft story from Stuart Gordon. It's the kind of over-the-top that only a horror fan can love. I love it.

I found this movie to be surprisingly good. Normally I'm not a fan of the horror genre, let alone horror from the 80's. While I think it's safe to say it shares some similarities to Altered States, though not to say this copies it, I found this one to be far more enjoyable because it didn't serve as some bizarre justification to get really God damn high. The body horror in this is genuinely pretty gross, though not of the same calibre as The Thing. Still, this is a flat out good horror flick.

Lovecraft gore fun classic. Wild and visually ingenius. The story could be a bit better, but at least they are telling a story. Lots of memories of times when movies were still selluloid.

Beyond poor.

This is Gordon's second best film, and it's just as much wild fun as "Re-Animator". Lovecraft would be proud (well, probably not, but I think this is a great film).

Semi-sequel to Re-Animator that replaces blood with slime. Not as good as Re-Animator, but highly recommended. There is some hilarious stuff in here (particularly with Foree), as well as some great makeup.

One of the better leather science-fiction S&M horror films

trashy and effective

Inferior to Re-Animator in every way, particularly less scary, but still good stuff largely on the strength of how surreal it is. We still get such mind-bogglingly stupid pseudu-medical babble as the nonchalant relating of monsters sensed via the pineal gland to schizophrenia. But if you can suspend your judgment or just laugh off the text, you will be treated to quite creative and enjoyable horror in the third/fourth act.

Takes its time getting revved up, but then cuts loose in outrageous fashion.

Nice gore and latex effects but overall not more than an average Fick, because of that boring and uninteresting plot.Combs & Foree are okay !

An admittedly creepy splatter-gore nightmare that manages to fulfill the utterly bizarre and psychotic spirit of Lovecraftian horrors. It's got everything from carnivorous floating jellyfish to monstrous hybrids that suck brains through your eyehole. A strange, special effect filled ride through a perverse imagination. Unfortunately it's still shackled to the time-tested B-horror plot formula.

A gloriously loopy everything but the kitchen sink Lovecraft adaptation from Re-Animator director Gordon. Generally fine special effects, colorful direction, imaginative gore and a typically great performance from the eternally underrated Combs.
