Joe D'Amato's gore epic!.......2007-07-30

This movie has everything an extreme horror fan could ask for!
Gore, gore, necrophelia, gore, cannibalism, gore, torture, gore, nudity and most importantly gore!
No, seriously though, this movie has style. It is a great story of man who loses his lover, and will not except the fact that she is no longer with him. So, what does he do? What anyone would do, dig up the body and make love to it! The depression and psychosis turns into a violent downward spiral of murder and necrophelia.
The special effects are amazing, using real entrails and intestines most of the time make it that much more realistic. Did I mention he is a professional taxidermist??!!!
The gore includes dismemberment, dissection, eye-gouging, finger-nail ripping and pretty much everything a gore-hound could ask for.
To any Italian horror buff that doesn't own this,
WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU WAITING FOR!

P.S. I forgot to mention this movie has music by the mighty GOBLIN! and it's some of their best work!
I don't know how I could forget such a thing.

You're special...really you are........2007-07-08

You owe it to yourself to see this film. It's very unique and abstract. It is controversial, yet it doesn't seem like it was made to be. It's a very odd film that will imbed it's self into your memory. If you're a fan of Italian Horror, then do yourself a favor and order this immediately.

One of the greatest!!.......2007-03-27

Before I go into my review I would like to state not to waste your money buying the Pyscho Killer 3 pack from Shriek Show that features this movie, Delirium, and House on The Edge of The park Why??? This movie is the stand out of the three, and you can probably score the movie alone by it's self for a cheap price.

I first seen the trailer for Beyond The Darkness on my Eaten Alive (Another Great Movie) DVD and I found it to be very intriguing, I jumped on Amazon to see what I could dig up on the movie, and I heard nothing but bad things about gem, so I decided to give it chance, and trust me this movie does not dissapoint, the one false claim I read was there is not enough gore, or blood in this movie FALSE!!!! This movie has all of that and then some, it starts off pretty light but then it just goes from one atrocity to another. If you are on the fence about purchasing this classic, do it you will not be dissapointed.

What's The Matter Frankie Baby ?.......2007-01-28

This movie is high up on my list of all time great horror movies.

It has everything: love, jealousy, revenge, sexuality, and ghosts

A lot of these Italian horror movies seem to borrow ideas from Psycho.

Like Norman Bates Frank is into taxidermy. This provides him with the necessary equipment for some of his other 'hobbies' including his own creamation unit.

He puts his taxidermy skills to good use when his wife passes away as a result of a curse by the leacherous housekeeper Iris.

a morbidly romantic gorefest.......2006-09-30

this film is very special to me. the reason is that it was one of the first italian horror films i'd seen. i had seen burial grounds, zombi 2 and eaten alive before i had seen this gem. at first i was kind of dissapointed, only because i was not expecting the kind of film that beyond the darkness is. its a grim, dark, sleazy, morbidly romantic gorefest. its the story of a rich taxydermist whos wife has died from a voodoo curse set upon her by the rich guys housekeeper iris out of jealuosy. horribly depresed, the man takes his wifes corpse from the cemetary and does what he does best. he removes her entrails, puts fake eyes in her sockets and drys her out, just as he would do to one of the animals he stuffs and sells, so he can have her forver. the rest of the film consists of thae man and his house keeper trying to keep the preserved corpse a secret. that means killing anyone who may jeoprodize their secret. this film would have got 5 stars if it moved a little faster. there are only a few gore seens and it takes a while to get to them. the film is kind of like a slasher movie on some parts, but then switches to pure depraved gore. the gore scenes in the film are as follows. the man taxiderming his wife is a real stomach churner. a chubby hich hiker has her finger nails riped off an his then chopped into peices and dissolved in a tub of acid. a jogger has a chunk of her neck bit out by the taxidermist and is then burned in a furnace while shes still alive. besides that theres your standard bloody violence. worth owning if your a euro horror fan.
