"The Beyond" is a mind fuck and it's meant to be. it's like an abstract waking nightmare.
And it has fantastic atmosphere, stunning cinematography and set design, bizarre plot (but one that works), excellent music and some choice gore and set pieces.
Sure, some FX look dodgy (SPIDERS!) but overall this has some of the best Euro splatter ever seen.
From the nasty as hell chain whipping (that whole opening just DRIPS classy atmospheric horror!) to the truly outstanding, head explosion...this sucker delivers.
Delightfully messy zombies and some auperb visuals (the blind girl on the bridge, the dead taking over the hotel as the lights in each room come on) cap off this CLASSIC slice of Fulci.
