The first multiverse sci-fi horror

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2017)

20 yrs. after...
Modern and quantum physics, tells us theoretically about infinite number of possible universes existing alongside ours - parallel universes. Every existing (un)imaginable one could be "there". Fortunately, theory says they are unreachable, for now... But: What if not? From unimaginably large/wide spectrum of possible ones, heaven and hell are included, and more... With despairing: "Liberate tuteme ex infernis" puts this movie as (one of?) the first Sci-Fis that exploit the notion.
Beside just said, the movie is pretentious a bit, with too much of everything. To the point of being naive, at least the movie making perspective. Barking around with quasi-Giger design and scenography, "creepy" effects and shallow plot with some more-then-expected horror-like moments combining "lights off shock" with twisted body-horror (they even spared on the latter). But: the multiverse and horrors within...
After 20 years or so, more and more Sci-Fi movies and techno-thrillers are now rather interesting ta analyze. As technology (and science) changed / progressed a lot. Guess it should be the same with the '50s Sci-Fi from today's point of view. "Multiverse" is now much more accepted and quite taken for granted concept in theoretical physics and astrophysics. And I'm grateful for the prospects it brought in novels and on screen.
