STUART GORDON: BODY OF WORK

This is the director who gave us “Re-Animator”, a film featuring a severed head attempting to get intimate with a shackled female love interest. He also conjured forth “From Beyond”, where snake-like, phallic pineal glands sprout from foreheads, and scientists melt into puddles of gelatinous slime like the Wicked Witch of the West. Then there’s “Dagon”, Gordon’s most recent foray into fear, where unknowing visitors are tormented by macabre, scaly fish people with human sacrifice on their minds, in a Spanish seaside village.
