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.

If youīve seen 2 Fulci movies and didnīt like them, you donīt need to see anymore (Maybe "City of the dead"). They are all the same...
Iīm not a big Fulci fan, but i like him better than Argento. They are both B-movie directors, in my eyes, but their prefered genres are very different indeed. Fulci is into zombies and Argento is into Slashers (always a psyco running around killing girls).
I just like zombie movies better than slashers... :)
