Seven Doors

Melting people, a mysterious book, a gateway to hell, a blind ghost girl, spiders, zombies, and a happy ending. I don't know, sometimes I feel The Beyond is overrated (now you're mad,) but Fabio Frizzi's seedy soundtrack never seems so.

    Overrated? Pfft, I reckon it's the best of Fulci's gore cycle! (I'm not mad)

    Well done on your own cinematic endeavours too, that's some fine-ass illustration/animation!

    I was a little underwhelmed by The Beyond. I like Zombi 2 (Zombie in US), City of the Living Dead, and Don't Torture a Duckling better.

    I'd say a little overrated compared to some of Fulci's other movies, namely Don't Torture a Duckling and Zombi 2. It is definitely a top 10 when it comes to Italian horror, though.

    THE BEYOND is fun. All kinds of goofy, horrible things happen. Surreal.

    So Pete, you would put 3 of Fulci's films in the 10 horror movies of all time?

    Anyone remember The Slasher Film Festival Strategy? They were pretty good at this sort of thing.

    Dan, yes I would, with the Beyond sneaking into that tenth spot.

    I think if I were to make an Italian Horror best of list it would be dominated by Sergio Martino

    I was mad until you mentioned Sergio Martino. Now I'm at peace again. And on my way to see Deep Red on 35mm...
