The Beyond (1981)
from Because I'm John Sellmeyer Hosted by John Robert Joseph Sellmeyer
Welcome to the 10th episode in 10 days! It’s been chaotic, but we’re here, and today, we're diving into a very special treat: Lucio Fulci's 1981 horror masterpiece, The Beyond. After covering everything from weapons and heretic to sinners Plus (and that one lame one, The Carnival), host John Meyer is ready to discuss the ultimate campy, gory, old-school horror flick. This movie, starring Catriona McCall and David Warbeck, is about a young woman who inherits a hotel that happens to be one of the seven gateways to Hell. If you love real effects—we’re talking eyes being torn out and faces melting into bone with fantastic fake blood and makeup—this movie is for you. The Beyond is equally scary as it is gory, featuring classic slow-walking, zombie-like tropes, yet still feeling unique and fresh. John discusses why he was so happy he finally watched this film, its success despite its age (Rotten Tomatoes: 73%, IMDb: 6.6/10), and why it fits right into his favorite category of campy old horror movies (think The Evil Dead or Satan's Little Helper). Tune in for the full review and John’s final score: 8.4 out of 10 eyeballs! What did you think of the film? Let us know!
