AKA “7 Doors of Hell”, AKA “The Beyond”, AKA bat-shit crazy! Well, we are talking about Lucio Fulci, so maybe that goes without saying.
Watched a great print from Grindhouse Releasing. All the fake blood spurts and geysers in the full gory glory.

Beyond death... Beyond Evil... Beyond the dreaded gates of hell.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nightmarish descent into surreal, grotesque horror where reality unravels and the building itself becomes a trap of pure dread. Gothic and relentless, it prioritizes atmosphere and transgressive imagery over narrative coherence.
