Two physicists contact "the beyond" in their attic by constructing a machine that stimulates their pineal gland. They see fish swimming in air, then one of them has their head bitten off, only to reappear as a half human monster intent on eating people. Jeffrey Combs is the surviving physicist who teams up with psychiatrist Barbara Crampton to defeat the evil being. The 80's special effects are a slimy, gooey mess. The scientific explanations are unconvincing. An attempt to work in kinky sex is laughable. A major disappointment from the makers of the much superior Re-Animator based on an H.P. Lovecraft story.
