40th anniversary of Stuart Gordon's crazy, gory, and gooey sci-fi body horror classic, starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, and produced by Charles Band and Brian Yuzna (SOCIETY).
Dr. Edward Pretorius (Ted Sorel), an acclaimed physicist, has perfected his newest invention: the Resonator, a machine which allows those near to it to glimpse life not visible to the naked eye. Imagining the discoveries he could make, Pretorius begins to go mad, much to the concern of his young assistant, Crawford Tillinghast (Combs). However, after the machine malfunctions during a highly sensitive experiment and Pretorius is found brutally murdered, Crawford is fingered as the primary suspect.
Confined to an asylum, Crawford becomes the ward of Dr. Katherine McMichaels (Crampton), who takes a special interest in his tales of the strange creatures able to be seen while the machine is operating and convinces him to help her rebuild the device, woefully unaware of the terrifying, hidden world she is about to enter…
“This movie is great fun… a funny, horrific grossout.” Gene Siskel
“It’s perverse, bizarre and even stomach-churning at times, but you’ve honestly never seen anything quite like it.” Rob Vaux, Collider
