The Beyond (1981)
6/10
Seven Gates Hotel
26 November 2023
The Italian horror genre of the 1980s is truly something apart! They were prolific in the genre with great directors who created a unique visual style demarcated within the genre, distancing themselves from Hollywood formulas. If the plot often leaves something to be desired, the same cannot be said about the visual styling. This film is directed by (and by some acclaimed) Lucio Fulci and goes in that direction.

A young woman inherits a hotel in Louisiana where, after a series of supernatural events, she discovers that the building was built on top of one of the seven gates to hell. As the story unfolds, some things don't make sense, as usual, even if it's supernatural, but the visual style with unique sound environment - as only Italian horror masters knew how to do - are worth the viewing experience... if you're a fan of gore scenes.
