THE BEYOND: THE COMPOSER'S CUT
Special Features: New 4K Restoration
Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci (aka the Godfather of Gore) took horror to new heights with 1981's THE BEYOND, the ultimate classic of gothic terror. Presented in a brand new 4K restoration of the original camera negatives, composer Fabio Frizzi returned to his original notes and recordings to create an all-new score. Catriona MacColl stars as Lisa, the inheritor of a dilapidated New Orleans hotel that just so happens to be built on one of the seven gateways to Hell. Following a series of brutal accidents, the gateway opens and unleashes literal Hell in a graphic frenzy of gory crucifixions, chunk-blowing chain whippings, eyeball impalements, sulfuric acid meltdowns, flesh-eating tarantulas, throat-shredding demon dogs and ravenous, bloodthirsty zombies. THE BEYOND is a towering achievement in hair-raising, mind-bending cinematic terror! (Note adapted from Grindhouse Releasing.)
