Aha! Now here's a really scary movie. I think I liked everything in this film. The story (based on H. P. Lovecraft's ghoulish novel) is original, terrible, unthinkable and credible at the same time. It makes you wonder how certain ideas get into people's brains! The movie starts off as a sci-fi thriller, but then it develops into a gruesome, disturbing first-rate horror film. The special effects - with monsters flying all about the place, biting off pieces from living persons, are convincing. The acting is just as good: Combs is the typical scientist scared by his invention; Cramption is the classic psychiatrist who will stop at nothing to learn more, (nice body by the way!), Foree gives a light sense of humour in this otherwise tense pic. The viewer is treated with some really nauseating scenes, for example the flies (or whatever they are) eating Foree alive, when IT 'rapes' Crampton and when she bites off Combs' pineal gland. Oh well, if you are looking for a saucy, horrendous film, this one is a winner!
