yeah there is a cheap version of House by the Cemetary out .. the cover looks like a photocopy .. that the one ?

I bought it but soon upgraded when i found the anchor bay version (it has some extras) havent done a picture comparrison though ..


the anchor bay ver. is widescreen as well..

I found that it was all over the place - like a patchwork kilt ..

I love italian zombie horror but this just rubbed me the wrong way.

People will say it isnt supposed to make sense (it's surreal baby!) and it's style over substance .. etc ... and although there are a lot of films that are more style than smart - this one didnt do it for me ...

Fair enough. :)

I think i like this one, because it´s not a zombie movie as much as a movie about hell rising from below a house. thats a nice theme, i think.

There is absolutely no doubt that all Fulci´s movies are B-movies. But sometimes that just dosn´t matter, like the case is with "The beyond". :D

I bought it for 9.99 at Best Buy. It even has a commentary .

I like it, it's not my favorite from Italy, though. Argento kicks Fulci's ass any day.

It's not all bad. Like most supernatural-style Euro horror movies from that era, it had good cinematography. But since most did have that, it doesn't count for much. The acting was bad, the dubbing was bad, the writing was bad, the makeup was bad, the plot made no sense, the deaths were contrived and went on forever (and too often predictable. I called that the dog would kill the blind chick the second it walked back into frame in that scene), the male lead was completely useless except for looking like the love child of Sean Bean and Henry Fonda, and the ending was stupid. This had neither style nor substance. And that was just the censored version. I can't see any possible way that seeing more of that movie would make me like it any more.

It's even more annoying because Fulci is a good director. He's better than this shit. There are some fantastic shots in Zombi 2.

i'd have to agree with that.

his pictures flow a hell of a lot better.

The version of House by the Cemetary that i have is distributed by a company called "Legacy". No special features or anything, just scene index and interactive menu.

Why does the zombies in Fulci´s movies always have to walk slower than slowmotion? Does anybody (except for Fulci, i guess) find that scary?:confused:

I think it's that, especially in Fulci and other Italian zombie movies, no matter how slow they are, and no matter how many you kill, there are always hundreds more. So, as slow as they are, there's no way of escaping. Knowing something that slow is going to eat you alive is a bit unnerving, yeah. And if you're in a Fulci movie, something that slow IS going to eat you alive.
