The Beyond, in my opinion, is Fulci's best work to date, that i've seen. It is also the goriest of his that i've seen, except for maybe Cat in the Brain, and it is just an excellent supernatural zombie gore film.
The movie is kind of hard to explain but if you follow the story it is pretty good, and the opening scene is pretty hard to watch in alittle way.
I would recommend this movie to hard core gore fans, Fulci fans, or fans of classic horror films in general, but not the weak of heart, this movie is pretty intense for some people. I give this a 9/10!
This movie was strange and the music was just awful to listen too....I love how the plastic dummys melted away....the zombies were a hoot too...I guess for 1981 that would of been gory but in 2009 its kinda of lame anyway it had a weird story line...the dialog is priceless so its a movie to watch but just once is enough.
This is horror at its best.Long live LUCIO FULCI.The gore is non stop and the terror is relentless.A rare horror movie that effects your mind and soul.Its brutal!!
Yes, like mode7overworld, I too was fortunate enough to get the Anchor Bay tin release (#16019), and proudly display it with my movie collection. It is, along with Zombie, among Fulci's best. Good gore effects (for it's time) and dozens of just good ol fashioned creepy moments. A must have for any serious horror film collector.
He's Not called the godfather of gore for nothing, Lucio Fulci's best film in my opinion, I will never forget the carnage that this film leaves behind in your memories. Horror at its best!
My favorite by Fulci. This is one of those films that actually gives me the jitters watching it. The score goes great with this film, (and I think it is the same in City of the Living Dead?)
The gore is absolutely fresh and disgusting, very original for the era of this movie. The story is well written and the acting is better than most of Fulcis films, but not grade A.
Overall, this one should be in every true horror/gore fans top collection, hands down.

probably not one of the best Lucio Fulci but a well pleaser. The only thing that disapointed me in the movie was the killing scenes. When someboby got killd it looked fake such as when the man is eaten by triancuals or however you spell it. But I still liked the movie. I didn't get the end of the movie. But all Lucio Fulci movies are great so this movie was great.
A true Fulci masterpiece. Without a doubt one of his top movies. It has terrific scenes of gore and violence. Fulci also has a great way of building the tension to almost a feverish pitch. A definite for any Italian horror fan!

Great gore film defintly Fulci's best.
its great they put it back in print
This actually had a re-release before. Anchor Bay had a limited run of 20,000 collector's editions in tin cases filled with lobby card reprints and an art book with production notes. I got it back in like, freshman year of high school when I was starting to get into Fulci and it's an awesome little collection.
The movie itself is great. It's the epitome of Fulci's desire to create a delirious heightened reality, and it works. There's just really nothing else like it. It has this almost undefinable mix of roughness and finesse that lends a great feel to the whole thing.
I'd venture to say that The Beyond is one of horror's "acid tests". If you don't like it, for whatever reason, then you probably just don't get what makes horror great. And anybody resistin' can goddamn my ass kissin'.
i really love this movie!! i haven't seen it in years, then with the re-release i saw it again. you got italian zombies, ghosts, big spiders, cheap but classic grue, & tons of eye scenes.
When I first saw this movie, I honestly didn't think much of it. I watched it when I was first starting to get into horror heavily and I didn't "get" this film. After realizing the actual point of the film, I came to love it.
This movie is all about the visuals. Plot? Forget it. Fulci never had much use for a plot and The Beyond is the perfect example. The violence is legendary, the atmosphere is excellent and I especially enjoyed the bleak ending. A brutal horror classic.
LUCIO FULCI U R A F-ING HORROR GOD! THE BEYOND is Fulci at his horror best!!! Like many of his other films THE BEYOND is fantastic!!! I don't want to ruin it for anyone but the blind girl and her dog creepy!!! I love the dead worlock in the celler the fog relm at the end...
Everything about this movie is great great great!!! I give THE BEYOND 10 blind girls out of 10 blind girls...lol love this movie!!!
