Movie Reviews of Beyond The DoorMovie Review: A Classic That Still Holds Up Summary: 5 Stars
i remember first seeing the tv ads for this movie and it gave me the creeps! at the time of its release, "the excorcist" was about to be re-released in theaters and warner brothers did not like the fact that there was another possession film coming out at the same time! The buzz about this film was so well received that there were lines around the block at grauman's chinese theatre!
when warner brothers heard of this movie, they decided to file a lawsuit against the filmmakers, citing visual copyright infringement(?) even though there might have been a similarity or two, both movies really have nothing in common story wise. this movie has more in common with "rosemary's baby" than with "the excorcist." at the time my mom took me to see the excorcist which i loved tremendously, yet here was this movie that was stuck in the back of my mind, beckoning me to see it! i did not get to see it until maybe in late 1986 on a god awful looking vhs copy, and you know what? i loved it!
Horror films these days are a dime a dozen, nothing truly memorable. i think hollywood and some of these so-called indie filmmakers forgot how to make a good creepy flick.
the story is quite simple, woman gets possessed, all hell breaks loose yet there's something lurking within, that's where things get really interesting. i recently purchased this movie on dvd and played it for my son. Luckily he gave it a shot of watching it and lo and behold the same results! For all its 70's fashion and other trappings, Beyond the Door still holds up after all these years. I think the same goes to anyone curious about seeing this film should forget about what theyve seen these days. forget about the cgi effects and bid productions and get yourself a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy this little film that could
the dvd itself has some nice extras including some new interviews, theatrical trailers, t.v. ads and a nice tribute "An Englishman in Rome," an interview with actor Richard Johnson, most memorable in Lucio Fulci's "Zombie." There is also a fine introduction with actress Juliet Mills, a woman who can make your nerves jangle when the opportunity calls. the audio is in mono, originally it was supposed to include the quadrophonic sound they used in some theaters, but it wasn't available for this release, otherwise a clear sounding mono mix. the commentary track is a nice touch, one with the director and another with star Juliet Mills and producers. forget about the cgi effects and big productions and get yourself a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy this little film that could! my only hope is that this title gets the blu ray treatment in the near future.
