“And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein that may be explored.”

The second film in Italian horror master Lucio Fulci’s Gates Of Hell trilogy, The Beyond tells of a young woman who inherits a hotel in Louisiana built directly on top of one of the seven gateways to hell. When she inadvertently opens the door, a gory array of demonic incidents are unleashed as cannibalistic zombies attack, people are eaten by tarantulas, and a woman’s face dissolves in a vat of acid, among other surreal episodes in Fulci’s colorfully eerie tale of terror.
