I saw this at the cinema when it was first out, and have had it on VHS for a long time, but now, finally, the DVD has been released (Unrated director's cut) and it looks great. As for what's different in comparison to the version I've been used to, uh, I did notice a couple scenes but when one hasn't seen something in a while it's really hard to say. Crawford Tillinghast (Jeffrey Combs) is assistant to Dr. Pretorius (Ted Sorel) and has fired up the good doctor's invention, which is a resonator that stimulates the pineal gland and allows humans to see into another dimension. At first Crawford is in awe of the thing & then gets attacked by one of the creatures he sees floating in the ether, one of several things resembling moray eels. Of course he runs to get Dr. Pretorius to come see & the good doctor is so excited he loses his head, literally, so when Crawford runs screaming from the house he's snagged by the cops & taken to a nut-house, for it's believed he's responsible for the death. Along comes Dr. Katherine McMichaels (there are lots of doctors in this), played by Barbara Crampton, who doesn't believe Crawford is nuts and eventually with the help of a big cop Bubba (Ken Foree) she returns him to the house to find out what happened. And find out she does, and much, much more. It seems that with every use of the resonator the pineal glands of our friends are being stimulated, and their behavior is becoming a bit strange. Also, it seems that not only was Dr. Pretorius somewhat of a genius, he was also into S&M and a swell guy overall, but any firing up of the resonator now causes him to come back and he's changed a bit, in fact he's finding that access to this other dimension has greatly increased his capacity for being a power-hungry sex pervert, and that's generally never a good thing. One of the best scenes is when Bubba tells Katherine to "get dressed" to take Crawford back to the nut-house so she puts on some bondage gear she just happened to find. A little lipstick, too. Egad! This is not quite as good as "Re-Animator" but still plenty enjoyable, and fans of the Stuart Gordon of old will enjoy this if they haven't seen it in a while, or haven't EVER seen it. Lots of nasty icky gore & slimy other-dimensional creatures too. 8 out of 10.
