Anton Bitel Little White Lies 01/13/2020
Fulci traps everyone in his illogical, uncanny canvas of errant ideas and associations. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness 09/03/2005
C
Atmosphere alone can't keep this creaky pseudo-zombie flick from rapidly decaying into confusing, derivative tedium. Go to Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 11/05/2002
1.5/4
Even by Argento standards, Fulci's film is nonsensical to the point of distraction. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Nov 2
B
The effort is sloppy at times, unbelievably goofy as well, but there's something special about this messy presentation of torment and suffering, finding Fulci uniquely motivated to create a bizarre, art-inspired screen nightmare. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Oct 22
One of the precious few spaghetti Southern gothics, The Beyond is Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci at his gory, hypnotic best. Go to Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo May 15

pietro p Nov 2 Probably the best Fulci film See more xpig332 B Oct 9 Incredibly slow, I lost all interest by 25 minutes. See more Jason H Aug 25 Cheesy with a capital "C". See more Nick O Jun 27 Mondo creepy Italian zombie flick set in Louisiana on the seventh gate of hell! Very weird and VERY gory…just the way we like it! See more Mark J May 26 Really struggled with this. I did like it enough and it did invoke unease well. Just, the story doesn’t appear to exist. See more Omar G Feb 24 The Beyond (1981). The plot about the house was like the houses of the Three Mothers by Nicolodi-Argento . The best film by Lucio Fulci, I like the elegant style of the Italian directors with close-ups like in Catriona MacColl's eyes. The remembered deaths for the visual like that of Dr. Harris with the crystals as if they were thrown knives, the violent death of Emily was like the death of the blind man in Suspiria (1977) but improved, the German shepherd dog rips the neck of his master, Jill aged 12-13 with a shot blows her head off. As well as the death of Marta which was like of Olga Karlatos' character with the splinter in her eye in Zombi (1979) and the death of the guy devoured by tarantulas. The end seems to be in Cocytus in the Divine Comedy. See more Read all reviews
