From Beyond

"I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness."

When a brilliant but deranged scientist invents an outlandish device that enables its users to perceive planes of existence outside human experience, the boundaries of reality begin to blur as another dimension, one filled with horrific, unseen creatures, is discovered to overlap with our own.

From Beyond explores a central theme of Lovecraft's cosmic horror; that human senses are limited and that a wider perception of the universe would likely lead to madness.

Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
