Katherine MacColl inherits a remote and cursed hotel, built over one of the seven gateways to Hell. This hotel becomes a yawning, malevolent abyss that begins voraciously devouring both the bodies and the souls of all who enter.

The Beyond is the ultimate Italian horror film and definitely Lucio Fulci's masterpiece, Travis Crawford called it "the Citizen Kane of Neapolitan cinematic savagery", and I couldn't have said it better myself.

Story: 7/10 - Fulci is more of a visual storyteller, but this horror fave sort of has a story that chugs along nicely.

Acting: 6/10 - Not all that bad considering they didn't understand eachother on the set (The main actors we're English, the rest we're Italians).

Violence: 10/10 - This is without a doubt the bloodiest and most visceral horror movies ever made. It has melting bodies, eye gougings, acid burnings, murderous seeing-eye dogs and carnivorous lip-eating arachnids (no wonder I love it).

Nudity: 0/10 - This is without a doubt not the sleaziest and most male-friendly horror film ever made.

Coolness: 8/10 - The effects are great, the ending is a killer, the score is haunting and it's got zombies. Sure it's cool.
