Double Feature
The Beyond
Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to Hell, because through that gateway, evil will invade the world. Italian horror icon Lucio Fulci unleashes his towering terror masterpiece, a fright-filled, gore-soaked fever dream that follows a young woman (frequent Fulci star Catriona MacColl), whose recently inherited old Louisianian hotel holds dark secrets. Long available only in an edited, incomplete version, The Beyond was beautifully restored & rereleased uncut in the late ‘90s by Grindhouse Releasing and Quentin Tarantino’s Rolling Thunder Pictures.
