Several Stills From Brian Yuzna’s Upcoming Creature Feature Amphibious

I’m always up for a good Brian Yuzna movie. Although I’m not the biggest supporter of his recent output, I’m still a hardcore fan of his bizarre 1989 horror flick “Society,” as well as the highly underrated “Return of the Living Dead III.” And while you’re at it, toss his unnerving 1996 effort “The Dentist” onto the pile — I’m not ashamed. Much to my delight, Robert Hood’s Undead Backbrain is reporting that Yuzna is preparing to unleash the epic monster flick “Amphibious” upon the suspecting public, and they have plenty of snazzy pictures to prove it. Although the premise doesn’t sound completely sound, it’s got to be better than “Beneath Still Waters,” right? Just humor me.
Here’s the lowdown:

Some of the greatest names in B-movie horror combined to make this, undoubtedly one of the greatest B-movie horrors of the 80’s. From 1985, Re-Animator, produced by Brian Yuzna (director of the excellent Society and surprisingly good The Dentist), starred Jeffrey Combs (the underrated The Frighteners), was based on supreme horror writer of days-gone-by’s work, H.P. Lovecraft, and was helmed by Stuart Gordon (the very worthwhile Dagon and King of the Ants). “One of the greatest horror movies ever made,” says Entertainment Weekly on the box for this Anchor Bay special edition. Certainly it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen. Despite being his first feature and gaining recognition for his other works, Gordon did such a great job in his debut that he has forever been labelled Stuart “Re-Animator” Gordon, so synonymous with the genre that he earned himself a place of the recent Masters of Horror
