Talk:From Beyond (film)

Comedy?
How in the world is this film a comedy horror film?? It's just plain horror. There's nothing funny in this movie. It's on par with Re-Animator (which, surpringly, is also listed as a comedy horror film). &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 16:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, this is uneasy to set it as something serious anyway... Moreover Combs' performance relates more to comedy than drama. Anyway, I admit this is more evident in Reanimator and Bride of..., where you can find crawling hand and other funny stuff.

MGM did not distribute this film. Empire Pictures did. I will make the change.

I agree with Frecklefoot, this movie is in no way comedy. Just because someone's acting appears to be funny, or the premise of the movie is funny in this era, it is not a comedy. This is a horror film, and last time I checked, it was based off fo a H.P. Lovecraft short story, and again, last time I checked, Lovecraft never made any comedies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daedalus969 (talk • contribs) 07:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I've not seen the film, so I won't comment on it, but I have to note that the dialogue in Re-Animator is often intended to be funny in a dark way (black comedy), and that Stuart Gordon (the director) has tooken many liberties with Lovecraft's work, so just because the story might be horror, the movie might not be. I've never been a huge Gordon fan, but I am a large Lovecraft fan, so I feel it necessary to say this, because I've seen a few of Gordon's films. It may be that those who do most, dream most.
