The Beyond

aka ...E tu vivrai nel terrore! L’aldilà; 7 Doors of Death

Poster of The Beyond

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

The Beyond (1981) follows a woman who acquires a Louisiana hotel and begins restoring it, only to encounter a series of increasingly violent and supernatural events. As she uncovers the building’s connection to one of the seven gates of hell, the boundary between the living and the dead begins to collapse around her. This Italian horror film blends surreal imagery and extreme gore with apocalyptic themes in a story of cosmic dread, inevitability, and the intrusion of the supernatural.
