The Beyond
Lucio Fulci
Age: Catriona MacColl, David Warbeck
You Aughta Know: "And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein that may be explored."
"And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein that may be explored."
Fulci's most beautiful film is also his most horrific. What other film can compel you to continue on through another hour AFTER acid melts a little girl's face off? Ripping open Pandora's box of horrors with a non-linear approach that defies all your expectations of what could possibly happen next, Fulci achieved something in cinema that may be the closest thing possible to pure madness.

Frankenstein? Nosferatu? Dracula? Psycho? Jaws? The Blob? Alien? Cape Fear? Carrie? Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Them?

Classics, but most of them to old to be really scary ... nothing like The Shining with it´s timeless psychopathic plot ...

I thought this was done very well for an indie film. espesh the way they talk to the 3rd person. (The audience) I dunno if it was that scary, but it was good.
