This is the movie that Steven Spielberg's Money Pit should have been. The mind-blowing ending makes it a must-see. [31 Oct 1999]

Think of The Beyond as a Rorschach inkblot of a horror film: It's by turns impressionistic, repulsive, ridiculous and baffling. In the right frame of mind, it can also be a hoot. [17 Jul 1998, p.7G]

El más allá (1981) Sinopsis: El sótano de un viejo hotel está construido encima de la puerta al más allá donde deambulan los zombies. Una joven hereda el hotel y decide renovarlo pero terribles "accidentes" ocurren durante las obras. Un pintor muere, el fontanero desaparece y su amigo se rompe el cuello. Ella huye al hospital pero la pesadilla sólo acaba de empezar… Opinión: Muy entretenida, violenta y repleta de gore, esos factores hacen de esta película una cosa buena e interesante, el mayor defecto es que a mi juicio tiene muchas escenas que no tienen sentido ni razón de ser, por no decir la película entera, pero me entretuvo mucho después de todo. Valoración: 3.5 de 5

The Italians were crazy for this one. Great lore, soundtrack, and gloopy, gory kills. Most of the in between is pretty boring though. Fun, downer ending.

There's more than enough gruesomeness to keep hard-core horror fans screaming, but others should stay a million miles away - or 2 million, if spiders make you squirm. [12 Jun 1998, p.B2]

Classic Italian splatter directed by Lucio Fulci, reviled and adored in equal proportions by Euro-horror fans.

The Beyond's first half-hour or so is extremely entertaining, alternating between genuinely frightening, gory shocks and hilariously awkward, atonal acting. After a while, however, it becomes as dull as its repetitive Italian prog-rock soundtrack, neither good nor bad enough to hold your attention for long.

The thriller is populated by the usual dimwits who stumble into horrific situations and don't have the good sense to leave, and it tries to pass off some of the sorriest excuses for zombies ever seen.

It's the kind of movie that alternates stupefyingly lame dialogue with special effects scenes in which quicklime dissolves corpses and tarantulas eat lips and eyeballs.

This is a better than average Italian horror but a below average horror. There is just no sense of horror or fear. There is plenty of bloody gore but little in the way of story or suspense. One or two bits made me jump and much of the violence was sickening but nothing really lasting. I still think that the only acceptable Italian horror film by all standards is Zombie Flesh-Eaters (1979).
