You have to forgive just how small the budget must have been and it's short enough. I thought the main character Crawford looked ridiculous in his first school uniform scene ~ do you get mature students in American universities? A few other glaring plot holes but easily forgivable and entertaining enough.

The really bad reviews must be written by people completely unfamiliar with Full Moon. If you know Full Moon & have appropriate expectations, this is certainly one of their more enjoyable features in recent years IMO. Its not a bunch of silly nonsense played as a big joke like the bulk of Full Moon's current catalogue. The story is told straight, with effects that stay in line with the original film and also includes some direct tie ins. The main problem with this movie is the overly attractive fashion model style cast. The movie could gain a few more levels of credibility & seriousness if it would have just cast real looking people, instead of eye candy. I'm sure plenty of the Full Moon fanbase won't take any issue with the hot girls in schoolgirl uniforms though.

"The Resonator: Miskatonic U" is a film based on the story "From Beyond" by H. P. Lovecraft, previously made into a movie by Stuart Gordon. This new version lacks the incredible special effects of the original version, which were realistic and gory, achieved by means of latex prostheses, the effects of this new film are digital and of very poor quality, highlighting only the makeup effects for the villain. The script is too poor perhaps because of the short duration of the film. The performances are decent bordering on almost bad, it should be noted that a big mistake was wasting the participation of the legendary horror film actress Amanda Wyss. The direction of William Butler (vaguely involved in the original version) is barely passable. Stuart Gordon would not be happy with this graceless remake, nor would H. P. Lovecraft be pleased with the result. The movie has the allure of Full Moon productions, but it might have worked better in the 80's, 90's or even the early 2000's. A bad movie but entertaining in some scenes.
