BigD J Classic Italian off the wall filming. Not so much horror as shock effect. Literally nothing scary about it, just fun, brutal, twisted, with a lot of gratuitous nudity! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review michael b I Have To Admit,Not A Bad Horror Movie,Very-Very Gory,Thats For sure,Over All Good Movie.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review delysid d a great movie for nasty freak lovers... others not so much Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Pretty awesome little eurotrash answer to Psycho. There's some really impressive gore and a quite catchy (if a bit repetitive) score from Goblin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Joe D'Amato is not a man known for subtlety, being one of the most prolific and blatant rip-off artists of the modern world, so I watched Beyond The Darkness expecting it to be mental, an utterly riotous time. What I got instead was a stunningly lethargic and completely disjointed mess, devoid of any vestige of enjoyment. There's very little dialogue, and what there is isn't exactly compelling. It trundles along at a snail's pace, and seems constantly unable to work out what kind of film it should be. Clearly there was no thought put into the plot, which is so shockingly thin that it's already worn out in the first 20 minutes. From there it repeats itself over and over, staggering around ineptly before stumbling to an awkward finish. It's not even enjoyable in an ironic, so-bad-it's-good way, since there's very little to make fun of. Boring to the nth degree, D'Amato has made much worse films, many of which are, paradoxically, much better than this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is surely one of the creepiest, darkest, sleaziest, and disturbing horror films I have ever seen, and is definitely one that will stick with you after viewing. Amazing soundtrack and genuinely eerie/shocking cinematography/direction, this movie will surely make you feel like you have to take a shower after watching it.
