The Beyond (1981), Prime

Phew. Well it was definitely made in1981 as evidenced by the cheesy, crappy music. The acting is dreadful - in fact the most convincing performance came from an Alsatian guide dog. The plot is preposterous, the FX are most definitely of their time and there are distastefully large amounts of blood, guts and violence. All in all, it's a pretty ridiculous and unfashionably dated film.

Absolutely loved it. 10/10.

I'm glad I read that last line. Have you seen many other Fulci films?

I've watched Zombie Flesh Eaters, but that really was crap. I have a very dim and distant recollection of watching City Of The Living Dead, but it must have been so long ago I can't remember much, if anything, about it.

The House By The Cemetery is next up :-)

Now that you're in the right mindset, I think you might like Zombie (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters, aka Zombi 2) better if you watched it again.

The Void (2017), Prime

The best Cthulhu Mythos-influenced horror movie out there in my book. It has echoes of Carpenter's The Thing and more than a little Hellraiser to it, but the Lovecraftian themes are by far the strongest influences. Very gory, very weird, unbelievably creepy and fairly disturbing. I love it. A synopsis would be fairly pointless and take up too much space so just strap yourself in and dim the lights.

NB: don't confuse this with The Void from 2002, which is a bucket of effluent.

As a movie: 8/10

For the genre: 9.75/10

Oooh @Offset ;, that sounds like fun so going on my watch list. Thanks for recommendation

Going on mine too, sounds right up my street.

Watched it a while ago, and agree, it's pretty good. The Thing is one of my all time favourite films and the maker of this is definitely a fan too

Very possibly, but I can't get past Ian McCulloch because all I can think of is Greg Preston in Survivors...

It's strange, although I watched Survivors I didn't remember him at all, so to me he's just a bloke with an incipient combover who was in a handful of cool Italian horror movies.

Howdy, Stranger!
