The Beyond (1981)

[Abominus]

I have a two pack with House by the Cemetary and The Beyond together censorship free!

i actually liked the beyond quite a bit. i thought it was a lot of fun.
i bought one of the uncensored anchor bay releases off of ebay.

Wow, I'm suprised at the amount of people who are taking House over THe Beyond. The latter is my favourite of all of Fulcis films. I still think there are a few others better than House too (City/Zombi).

Any one see The Naples Connection - great, nasty and sleazy Fulci gangster flick?

Nah I've been holding off getting those and his fantasy/western flicks till I track down a decent copy of Cat In The Brain. Fulci's all about the Ripper to me that flick is twisted genius and I dig House By The Cemetery's doomy creepiness.

Its worth a watch first as unlike fantasy/western flicks it has the nastiness of his horror/exploitation stuff.

I liked Don't Torture the duckling a lot too. I've yet to Lizard in a Woman's Skin.

just saw it a little over a week ago .. loved the music ..




i'm one of the few people who really disliked The Beyond.

had i seent he movie 20 years ago i probably would have really liked it - but by the time i saw it my expectations had been built up and i found it to be a collosal disappointment.

to me - it made no sense... it was just a bunch of set pieces strung together.
i dont care if that was intentional - it just wasnt what i was looking for.
i found it dull and uninteresting - it didnt engage me on any level at all..

that being said - i didnt care for Zombie, either.

it's been a while but i remember liking City of the Living Dead/Gates of Hell.


i'm not much of a Fulci fan .. i can appreciate what he did - or more, what he tried to do - but most of his films just seemed like hack work to me.

Need to grab those ones myself. Although it was a lot tamer I really liked Murder Rock.

Zombie is dull but still a million times better than a lot of people did with zombie flicks post Dawn Of The Dead.

Alrighty so I just got "Seven Doors of Death" yesterday and I loved it, and thankfully I got the unedited version...that spider scene was great
