At the risk of sounding redundant, I again have to draw a comparison between this and Zombi 2. The Beyond has 2 eyeball scenes, which is at least 1 too many and neither one of them are done right. It's just "eyeball gets gouged one way or another, check out the gorey and shitty effects". The eye isn't just gouged and it's over, sure. It's gouged for a little bit.
However, Zombi 2 has 1 eyeball scene. This one is done right. The eyeball is going through the shard of wood. You know that the second the shard of wood is anywhere near the eye. But Fulci makes you sit and wait for it. And THEN they gouge the eye nice and slow like.
Maybe if I'd seen more than 2 Fulci movies I could compare The Beyond to something besides Zombi 2.
