Jeffery Combs plays Crawford Tillinglast, a brilliant lab assistant to a Dr.Edward Pretorius. The two are working on a device called the Resonator. The Resonator uses magnetic waves to stimulate the mind and the pineal gland, the mystic third eye that is supposed to give humans and enhanced extra sense. Pretorius runs the machine too long and causes a rift into another dimension which shows that there are creatures of all kinds that swarm around us at all times. The creatures look like eels and jelly fish, but Pretorius goes even farther and draws something else out and something much larger and deadlier. The creature consumes Pretorius and sucks him back into it’s own dimension, Crawford shuts down the machine and runs for his life.

Once the machine is reactivated Catherine like Petorios becomes trapped under it’s power and wants to always see more. The machine begins to pull more and more baddies from beyond, until finally Pretorius himself returns in a new ghastly form. It is up to Bubba and Crawford to stop the machine and save Catherine from the now mad Pretorius who is gaining in power every second.

This one is kinda out there, based on a Lovecraft story, but still pretty decent. Combs is great as always and the effects are not shabby for the year it was made. This film had a good idea to begin with but it drifts away from the main motive as the story goes along. There is a great transformation however, no not from human Pretorius to monster, but from straight laced Dr. Catherine McMicheals to Catherine I gotta admit that scene was kinda rough and erotic grrrrrrrrrrowl. Not a bad rent but not a keeper unless you are a true Lovecraft fan, so there ya go Paynecraft.
