    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The H.P. Lovecraft story on which the film is based is only seven pages long.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene the windows of the first floor in Dr. Pretorious' house are shattered. A little later in the movie, when the team arrives again at the "crime scene", it is clearly visible, that the window classes are still unbroken.
    • Quotes

      Crawford Tillinghast: It ate him... bit off his head... like a gingerbread man!

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema version was uncut by the BBFC (though the print submitted was the MPAA-edited R-rated version). The UK Vestron video releases were cut by 10 secs by the BBFC and edited a scene where Katherine's breasts are molested by the transformed Pretorius.

    8/10
    one of the wildest and most entertaining horror films
    Its been a while since I saw this, but I fondly remember it as being one of the wildest and most entertaining horror films of the 80s. I liked it even more than Re-Animator, partly because there is something more intriguing about parallel dimensions and the connection to schizophrenia, than Re-Animators simple (though still entertaining ) "dead come back to life"-scenario. Some of the outlandish effects seem to be influenced by Dali, bodies in a constant state transformation and re-evaluation. It is mind-boggling that it is still so hard to get a hold of on DVD, I only watched a British VHS copy years ago which had some cuts and I still long to see the original unrated version. The score, by Richard Band, is also impressively aggressive and atmospheric. Would somebody please just release it on DVD! They just don't make them like this anymore.
