Rish Outfield's reviews
So, there's another dimension, just beyond our own, where frightening worm-like creatures roam, among other beasties. Through scientific tampering with the mind's pineal gland, a gateway can be opened to said dimension, and . . . well, this movie results.
This one was pretty serious, and played straighter than Re-Animator was (or maybe it was just more humorless), but wasn't as much fun as Re-Animator. Still, it was well-done, well-written.
There were great performances by all. The always-likable Jeffrey Combs stars as--what else--a young scientist (he's as typecast as a smart guy as Jennifer Tilly is a dumb one). Barbara Crampton, as a babe psychiatrist was lovely as usual. It was nice to see Dawn of the Dead's Ken Foree again, and his character's dialogue was always pretty funny. It was good to see a little (potential) romance between Combs and Crampton. The movie both works and doesn't work, as it manages to be enjoyably gruesome and morbidly unpleasant. It was sick. But I sorta liked it. Maybe you will too, maybe you won't. But hey, that's what makes us us. Let's sing.
