Beyond

About This Movie

So, 'Beyond' is one of those curious entries from the late 80s that really tries to tackle the afterlife through a unique lens. It sort of mixes horror with a cerebral twist, you know? The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, especially in the first half, as it builds up the young man's psychic abilities. But once he starts linking with the dying man, things get intriguing. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the practical effects, while modest by today’s standards, do carry a certain charm. It’s got this strange, haunting quality that sticks with you. Performances are decent, nothing groundbreaking, but they serve the eerie narrative well. Definitely distinct in how it approaches its themes of death and connection.
