@@wastelandlegocheem and ken's jealousy was legit as he was dating barbara at the time, barbara said she told him she wasnt attracted to jeffrey and only saw him as a friend (which she did)
I still remember the 3 movies HBO played back to back years ago as I pulled an all nighter. Reanimator, From beyond, and Return of the living dead. Classic!
Hardcore Lovecraft fans, like myself, need to remember that H.P. wanted people to keep building his world, he welcomed and encouraged the fan fiction! :3
By a "hardcore fan" do you mean you've read all of his writings and you actually like it as literature? IMO his writing itself was pretty bad. Good story, but its like he intentionally was looking for adjectives in the dictionary and was using them when there was no need to.
StopFear lovecraft is a interesting character try looking up his history like how he didn’t finish school so he uses Euclidean geometry because it sounds cool not because he knew what it meant like most of his writing
That's a classic Lovecraft style ending, right there; the one remaining protagonist going completely insane and laughing madly as their brain shuts down after what they've experienced. Works for me. Well, OK, that and Barbara Crampton getting naked, can't ignore that--she's still gorgeous, too.
The funny thing is, I think Combs was the original choice to play Grima Wormtongue in the "LOTR" trilogy (makes sense as Peter Jackson had used him rather memorably in "The Frighteners"), but things fell through and Dourif got the gig.
Quite happy I met Mr Combs about 10 years back. Dude is a genre ICON. And hell, the times he's played a good guy are very nice too. Babylon 5, voicing The Question on Justice League, etc.
You mentioning Question was voiced by Jeffery Combs made me have flashbacks to the different scenes the Question is in and make me feel stupid for not realizing it sooner
Jeffrey Coombs is always a win. From 80s horror, to 90s Star Trek (wasn't he just BORN to play crazy ass aliens?)...he always brings the freak-out A game!
The only time I felt Jeffrey Combs didn't do a great job was as Doctor Mordrid, Empire Pictures' non-Union Romanian equivalent of Marvel's Doctor Strange. He just wasn't convincing in the part-while watching it recently, I found myself wondering what would've happened if he and Brian Thompson had switched roles.
"I built this machine, I call it the Resonator. The good news is that it makes you really really horny. The bad news is that it also attracts nightmare monsters from hell. Well, eggs and omelettes, am I right?" And if the feature as a sex toy doesn´t work they can still try and generate free energy fom Hell, that never goes wrong.
Honestly it's not a bad idea as long as you also secure an ancient warrior who has legends about how much Hell itself fears him. If you can do that then go right ahead with that Hell energy and cyborg demons nonsense.
And here's something I didn't know but just found out via the IMDB: Ted Sorel, the actor who played Pretorius, was the real-life nephew of Universal's horror makeup genius Jack Pierce.
The electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy introduced me to this movie. They sample 13:57-13:59 ("That machine has got to be destroyed") in their song "The Second Opinion".
This movie reminds me a lot of the classic original Outer Limits. I saw Barbara Crampton at a convention just a couple years ago. She still looks like a sexy librarian, and that's a compliment.
Before this movie came out, I read an article about it in Fangoria that described the film having a fairly explicit S&M scene right at the start, which is interrupted by Crawford. Of course after the film came out, I read that the scene had to be cut. Many years later, the unrated director's cut came out and they claimed that all the censored footage had been restored. Strangely the S&M scene was nowhere to be seen. And Re-Animator did not have a scene of a severed head eating pussy. It only TRIED to eat pussy, but its body was too incompetent to properly strap Crampton down and she had one hand free to hold him at bay until the heroes (more or less) arrived.
I first saw this movie when I was like 9, caught on HBO after Mom was asleep... I was disturbed and had nightmares for a week. Good stuff. Sill gets my stomach turning watching this review heh
"Humans are such easy prey"My favorite line from one of my favorite movies of the 1980's.I saw it so many times on video and loved everything.Barbara crampton is beautiful and great in this movie,pretorious disgusting very gross,jeffrey combs is cool.Thank you so much for reviewing this movie :D
Met all three last Friday at Arizona Mad Monster. Combs, Crampton, and Foree. They were awesome people and had a pretty long interaction with Combs and Crampton.
I've been trying to figure out the name of this movie for over twenty-three years, ever since I caught part of it on Monstervision, so this really made my day.
wstine79 it’s kinda crazy too since the short story is really pretty bloodless... the horror is that the things from another dimension can just absorb people whole, disintegrating them in the process if they move
Came across this video when I was searching around for some movies with body horror. Funny and laid back and made by a dude who obviously appreciates good horror. Really like your manner and review style Brandon!
You know, it might seem silly at first that the characters keep turning on the machine despite its horrific effects, but I mean... braingasms. If history has proven anything, its that humanity would ultimately never miss out on the chance for some good old sexytime.
I love how the neighbor lady was also the lady who brought the Police at the beginning of Re Animator. Anybody else notice that? Actually, in response to Brandon's comment Bunny Summers was her name, I just couldn't remember it.
I wonder if Doctor Pratorius was Eddie Nash in a past life. And Jeffrey Combs looks like you could have played Steve Jobs, back in the 80s the movie about Apple they didn't have either Ashton Kutcher, Michael Fassbender, or Seth Rogen in it. Jeffrey Combs looks more like a computer salesperson then a mad scientist in this one. Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna were typecasting Jeffrey Combs.
Easily in my top ten favorites, me and my Buds smoked a lot of bud, watching this one over and over. We were into all that pineal gland/seeing into other dimensions kinda shit, mainly because we heard about these two Brother Mathematicians who went to South America, tripped on some of the local plant life, and actually formulated a new equation while tripping. "It bit off his head, like a ginger bread Man" was delivered beautifully, I used to ape that one a lot. The scene where he realizes he is eating a brain was a great reaction. And in all Honesty, I hold Dr. Edward Pretorius in high regard, and had I been Dr. Tillinghast, I would have joined him. To this day, I still wonder if I can force my body to regress to a super badass Man Ape thing, like in 'Altered States' One can dream.
The Dr. Edward Pretorius monster/creature should have actually be used as the creature in RAWHEAD REX, it's an exact Clive Barker's description of RAWHEAD REX!!!
we used to call this movie "the wormy head" lol... still, scared the shit outa me as a kid. yes, this thing aired on TV, i was watching Mario 3 and the Raccoons... flipped over after and this was on...
I'd like to see Brandon review "Space Truckers" someday, it's the same director of this movie and considering the silly/weird science fiction he covered, I think it's up his alley.
Turning that thing on, seeing that invisible creatures are among us (heh) the whole time, and turning it off again... thats basically the whole Lovecraft story.
You should review The Burning. It is one of the best Friday the 13th "Rip-offs" (although technically it isn't a rip-off) which manages to be better than F13 (In my opinion). It also features amazing practical effects by Tom Savini. It genuinely is one of the greatest cult horror films from the 80's so it should be fitting for the theme of this month. Cheers.
When I saw your drawing I thought there is something familiar about it once you started describing the slug things I knew I saw this weird ass flick. It’s soooooo weird. Thanks for the review!
though it doesn't follow the story it does keep the classic element of H.P lovecraft in that it takes people of science trying to understand something that can't be explained which drives them insane in that way I think it good fit for his name.
It seems like Jeffery Combs is mostly type-cast as a mad scientist or doctor. He was Dr. West in Reanimator, Dr. Falco AKA the Rat King in TMNT 2012, Braniac in Injustice 2 (it’s a game, but it counts), Ratchet in Transformers Prime (great show btw), that guy from Would You Rather? (forgot his name) and of course, this.
The ending is my favorite interpretation of "Lovecraftian madness". Unlike some lovecraft related media where the madness are portrayed as supernatural, I really like "the truth is too absurd and insane for explanation, the only thing I can do is laugh."
So... Shapeshifting demons from another dimension, horrid mutations, sexual deviancy (which appears to be corruptive at that), a strong magenta / pink vibe whenever the device that breaks down the border between realities is turned on... Having read the original story, I can't really think of it as that, but like Event Horizon, you could fool me into thinking it's a 40K one. And those creature effects *are* amazing.
Just rewatched this flick last night, led me to discovering your channel and I am very glad for that. Love your thumbnail artwork, really catches the eye. After watching this I am already a fan. You review exactly the kind of movies I dig but no one else in my life does so this is a great outlet for me lol. Best part about discovering your channel just now is I've got a whole back catalog of content to marathon! Thanks for the quality work, bro. Cheers!
In certain sense, is curious and contradictory that UA-cam channels, as for example the guys of Bloodbath and Beyond (I love them too) with almost 50K subscribers can´t reach the amount of viewings per video that you have in each of yours, despite to the fact you have less subscribers. It´s a prove of your awesome work. Great job Brandon, continue so.
Just got my hands on the collectors edition of from beyond! I would’ve never discovered it along with many other gems such as lily cat (one of my favorite anime movies now), All but two Heisei era Godzilla movies and a quite a few other horror gems if not for your channel. Love the content man. Stay safe
Wait a minute- Wait just a minute, here! Herbert West was blond in the book! It's referenced at least once before the "Keep that needle away from me!" line that the heart-attack victim cries out. ... I mean, it's not actually important, I just thought I'd mention it. Herbert West: Reanimator is one of my favourite Lovecraft stories.
This is one of my favorite movies but I do look back sometimes, and wonder WTH my parents were thinking taking me to see movies like this. Especially considering I was 8 when this came out.
Lovecraft's short story pretty much encompassed the pre credits scene. Of course the production staff had to contrive the rest of the movie. The story was maybe three or four pages at most.
The movie might not be too complicated but seeing it as a child the idea about weird monsters inhabiting the same space I live genuinely creeped me out
Great review, however you could have mentioned it has pretty good effects. I'm surprised you didn't notice. Also you could have mentioned it has pretty good practical effects.
I only know Jeffrey Combs from his awesome voice work on Justice League and Transformers. Nice to see him out battling evil monsters as a regular guy for a change :)
Can't believe you didn't mention how awesome the creature effects are in this, I felt they really should've got a mention 😉😁
For the 80s it's pretty samn good. Even the kitty litter

He did though, a couple times.
I agree, the monster effects are pretty damn good for the time. Damnit Brandon!
Seriously, Brandon, get it together. Let's go, Brandon!
I loved Jeffrey Combs's look when she said "we just have to try the experiment again". He is like this lady should be locked up as crazy.
But she gets a pass bc she's gorgeous
And if friggin' *Jeffrey Combs* thinks you're acting crazy, maaaaaybe it's better to reconsider your plans.

I still remember the 3 movies HBO played back to back years ago as I pulled an all nighter. Reanimator, From beyond, and Return of the living dead. Classic!
That's one serious all nighter. Especially if you were already old enough to purchase alcohol!
It's like a hentai version of The Thing.

Love me some Jeffrey Combs. There should be a movie with him and Brad Dourif together... so much crazy...
I was just thinking about who I liked better as a creepy actor. Dourif or Combs. It is a toss up!
The funny thing is, I think Combs was the original choice to play Grima Wormtongue in the "LOTR" trilogy (makes sense as Peter Jackson had used him rather memorably in "The Frighteners"), but things fell through and Dourif got the gig.

And Cronenberg and David Lynch... That would be awesome!
Never seen a bad performance from Combs. The movie may suck, but if he's in a movie, you know at least HE will be awesome.
Agreed, Combs the type to make a flick better just by being in it
Yup. Whether he's in a horror movie, Star Trek (DS9 and Enterprise), or as Ratchet in Transformers: Prime, Jeffrey Combs has box office acting gold.
Please! I go through everyone's trash! (Like if you remember where Combs said this)
Well, there was that sequel to the remake of House on Haunted Hill.
But he didn’t get to do much in that movie, so there’s that.
This movie is AWESOME.

@@CowboyRobot2000Fine, he was the "Jason Statham" of his day 😊.
@@bryanferratt6598 As far as acting goes, he wasn't even the Neil Breen of his day.
@@CowboyRobot2000Neil Breen is the Christopher Lee of today 👏 😛😜😅🤣😂🤪😝.
I only know Jeffrey Combs from his awesome voice work on Justice League and Transformers. Nice to see him out battling evil monsters as a regular guy for a change :)
Wait Jeffery Combs was in TRANSFORMERS
@@ionman1761 Yup. He played the medic Ratchet in Transformers Prime.
@@AquaLantern I must say I NEEDED THAT!
Pimp Daddy Pretorius XD
While it's (IMO) not as good as the book it's still a very good movie and an interesting take on Lovecraft's story
Jeffery Combs is DA BOMB with over ham acting.
This movie freaked me out but was honestly........
I have no words for it. The movie left me speechless.
Would you consider doing a review of Brian Yuzna's 'Society' ?
Yes!!!! That film was fucked up!!!
Who does your opening artwork? It's very impressive!
I mean the original story was only 6 pages that barely makes a short film so like idk a new story long the same premise is pretty chill I think
