The Beyond

About This Movie

Lucio Fulci's 'The Beyond' hits you with that slow-burn dread right from the start. The atmosphere? Thick with a sense of impending doom, perfectly matched by the surreal visuals and unsettling score. You’ve got this young woman, Liza, who inherits a dilapidated hotel in Louisiana, but it’s not just a fixer-upper; it’s built over one of Hell's entrances. The pacing can feel a bit languid, but it allows the eerie moments to sink in. The practical effects are something else – grotesque and haunting, they really stick with you. Fulci’s unique vision and almost dreamlike storytelling make this one stand apart from typical horror fare. It’s a wild ride through the supernatural, for sure.
