The Beyond
Directed by Lucio Fulci
In this gore classic, a woman inherits a hotel built over an entrance to Hell. But when she starts to renovate, the gates get opened, bringing forth enough demons, killer spiders, ghosts, and evil zombies to make a grand reopening highly unlikely. The middle film in Lucio Fulci's "Gates of Hell Trilogy" is considered one of his best by fans, thanks to some of the most extremely terrifying and gory sequences in horror history. Chopped by censors in 1983, it took nearly 20 years and Quentin Tarantino's help before the film saw a proper uncut release in the U.S.

Like a lot of Italian horror of this period it's very stylish but with an incomprehensible script.
A Fulci classic. It's fast paced story envelopes us viewers into the Hell myth of evil harboring in New Orleans. There's lots to love here, but my favorite is the cinematography that is sharp & colorful adding to the horrors when the gore is spewed across the screen. Red grue & white background in the morgue scene is terrifying but also sobis the spiders attack scene! Enjoy!!
It’s a eighty’s attempt at horror. I never really saw the value of these Italian films and I am Italian but these films are so poorly made, the acting, effects, editing, continuity you name it, just bad. Plot of film was a solid effort but execution fails . I enjoy these however very short on logic and overdone on cheap effects. Cheese galore but worth a look if you dig bad Italian horror
Five stars!!!
Easily the best movie of Lucio Fulci. The story make no sense, but the nightmarish visuals are amazing.
