From Beyond (1999)



This is definitely one of the better low budget 'Fan' made films that are available through from Lurker Films (this on Volume 2) and follows the story to a tee. The acting isn't bad and though the effects are limited they work very well in this context. Its shot in black and white while the creatures and machine effects are done in colour. As good as shoestring budget Lovecraft can get.

The director, Bob Fugger, played bass for excellent Canadian Lovecraftian inspired rock band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Jordan Pratt who plays who plays the Narrator is the bands drummer.

*A sticker for Miskatonic University can be seen on the window of the car at the start.

*The narration and dialogue is straight out of the original story.

*Fugger also shot a version of 'The Terrible Old Man'.
