Dan C The acting is bad. The plot is bad. The story is dumb. The only good thing is the gore. If gore is all you need, you're good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review BigD J Classic Italian off the wall filming. Not so much horror as shock effect. Literally nothing scary about it, just fun, brutal, twisted, with a lot of gratuitous nudity! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review michael b I Have To Admit,Not A Bad Horror Movie,Very-Very Gory,Thats For sure,Over All Good Movie.๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review delysid d a great movie for nasty freak lovers... others not so much Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Pretty awesome little eurotrash answer to Psycho. There's some really impressive gore and a quite catchy (if a bit repetitive) score from Goblin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Joe D'Amato is not a man known for subtlety, being one of the most prolific and blatant rip-off artists of the modern world, so I watched Beyond The Darkness expecting it to be mental, an utterly riotous time. What I got instead was a stunningly lethargic and completely disjointed mess, devoid of any vestige of enjoyment. There's very little dialogue, and what there is isn't exactly compelling. It trundles along at a snail's pace, and seems constantly unable to work out what kind of film it should be. Clearly there was no thought put into the plot, which is so shockingly thin that it's already worn out in the first 20 minutes. From there it repeats itself over and over, staggering around ineptly before stumbling to an awkward finish. It's not even enjoyable in an ironic, so-bad-it's-good way, since there's very little to make fun of. Boring to the nth degree, D'Amato has made much worse films, many of which are, paradoxically, much better than this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
