I don't think I've ever seen the movie, though I'm not ruling out having rented it as a tween back in the day and forgotten about it, but what's with the weird video compression artifacts that move with their faces, like how Siskel looks like he has a chunk missing from the left side of his nose in the intro or that brown stain that appears on Ebert's forehead around 2:36?

It's exactly the sort of unnerving compression artifacts that end up in kooky conspiritard celebrity Reptilian "proof" videos.

You would likely remember it. Technically Aliens is better but From Beyond is amazing stuff.

Ebert's exactly right about its shortcomings relative to Reanimator, though.

I like Aliens more than Gene Siskel did but I can understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea, it's quite an endurance ride if you're not that fond of space creatures in claustrophobic, dimly-lit, exo-solar moon colony corridors.

I like Aliens but don't love it, it's like maybe a top 5 of 1986 film for me but below at least both Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Project A-Ko.

From Beyond is a better movie, even if you go by the standard that at least it's not directed by James Cameron - it's hard not to see the various meathead-isms of Cameron's oeuvre embedded throughout Aliens that would blossom more fully in future efforts including 'Avatar'.
