The Beyond

Many have described this as Lucio Fulci's masterpiece, but it's not. Poor Mr. Fulci seems to have a disturbing obsession with sado-masochism and grisly human suffering, though few know how to create a zombie like he did. You might be asking yourself why I have been watching so many Fulci films recently, and that's an appropriate question. This film is about a woman who inherits a Louisiana hotel that was built over one of the seven gateways to hell, and it's about to be opened, unleashing all of it's fury on humanity. If hell is anything like this film, then I have been effectively convinced away from its torments.
