Haven’t seen this classic from 1971? Perhaps it’s time you gave The Beyond a chance…

The cellar of an old hotel is built on top of the door to the beyond. Bloody zombies roam there. A young woman who is heir of the hotel wants to restore it. She is confronted with strange events. A painter has a lethal fall, the plumber vanishes and her friend breaks his neck. When she escapes to the hospital of a friendly doctor she doesn’t know what a nightmare is waiting there…

My Rating: B+

Interesting Facts: During the final scene in the Beyond’s abyss, the sand-covered bodies lying on the ground were actually stark naked street derelicts, who were “paid” in alcohol; E tu vivrai nel terrore! L’aldilà when translated means and you will live in fear, the afterlife; and the zombie rampage was done at the insistence of the film’s German distributors whose movie market was going through a zombie craze.

And now it’s time for the trailer…
