00:00 Guten Tag Horror-Fans, ich bin Thorstein von Cinema Terror und heute habe ich noch einen

00:11 italienischen Horrorfilm zu erzählen, der nichts anderes als die 1990er Cloudview Freccesos

00:16 Mix-Up von Amityville Horror, The Exorcist und Poltergeist, Beyond Darkness, genannt.

00:22 Well, Beyond Darkness ist einer der mehreren Titel, die der Film über die Jahre bekommen hat.

00:35 Dies ist einer dieser italienischen Filme, die mit Franchise-Titeln geschlafen wurden,

00:39 die es keinen Platz in gibt.

00:41 Es wurde von Evil Dead 5 und House 5 genannt, während der Film natürlich nichts mit

00:46 einer dieser Filme zu tun hat.

00:47 Der Film beginnt in einer Gefängnis, wo der Kirchenpfarrer George, gespielt von David

00:51 Brandon, eine Frau auf der Todesstraße besucht, bevor sie für die Tötung von mehreren Kindern

00:55 ermordet wird.

00:56 Sie will ihren Sinn nicht vergeben oder einen Zeugnis von Rügen zeigen.

01:01 Sie spricht insbesondere über ihre satanischen Glaubens und verabschiedet George, dass er

01:05 in der Zeit auch die Dunkelheit spüren wird, die ihr Seele jetzt verwendet hat.

01:09 Zeit geht vorbei und ein anderer Priester namens Peter, gespielt von Jean Lebroc, bringt

01:31 seine Familie nach einem neuen Haus, das sie von der lokalen Kirche erhalten haben.

01:36 Es ist aber so, dass es noch weitere Motive der Kirche gibt, da dieses Haus auf Land gebaut

01:41 wurde, wo in der Vergangenheit Wütende zu Todesbrüllen verbrannt wurden.

01:44 Nicht lange nachdem die Familie eingegangen ist, beginnt es, weird es sich deutlich machen,

01:49 dass es ewige Kräfte gibt, die auf einer Mission die Familie holen und sie an die andere Seite

01:53 bringen.

01:54 Peters einzige Hoffnung ist, dass er Vater George wieder in Form von seinem Alkoholismus

01:59 zurückbringt und zusammen mit dem Machten Gottes zurück kämpft.

02:16 So Beyond Darkness was made a few months before Claudio Fragasso made the infamous Troll 2,

02:21 a film that would in a way unfairly overlook all of his other efforts.

02:26 Since Beyond Darkness was done around the same time, it has the same type of feel to

02:29 it, but it is not destroyed by the cultural differences between the cast and crew like

02:33 Troll 2 did.

02:35 That being said, it is absolutely possible to laugh at this as a so bad it's good type

02:39 of film, but there is more to enjoy in this film than just that.

02:43 Beyond Darkness is basically a mix up of the best Haunted House movies with a little bit

02:47 of the Exorcist thrown into the mix.

02:49 Horror fans might make a comparison to Amityville 2, which is a fair comparison and a film I

02:54 think is awesome by the way, but Beyond Darkness is a bit more cheesy and illogical.

03:00 The plot is hard to buy into, but thankfully things happen so fast in the film that it

03:03 never lets you sit and think things through.

03:06 There's all kinds of weird over the top shit happening in this house and that keeps the

03:10 movie from ever becoming boring, even if you are never fully engaged.

03:13 There are some moments of nice atmosphere, with lots of fog and some nice costumes and

03:31 practical effects.

03:33 If you were to cut this film down to a one or two minute long trailer, then you should

03:36 have enough material to work with to create a great one.

03:40 Since these parts are the best parts of the film, where shit is just happening and it

03:43 goes by so quick that you don't question it, but don't expect anything to be effective

03:47 in providing scares or give you chills or anything like that.

03:51 While you never care that much for the characters, I must say that I did enjoy the duo of priests.

03:55 Both LeBrock and Brandon clearly gave an attempt of giving good performances and it does show.

04:00 A fun fact is that they tried to get legendary actress Linda Blair for this film, but sadly

04:05 failed.

04:06 Fans of Troll 2 should be either excited or worried that the kid actor Michael Stevenson

04:11 is in this and while I hate to talk negatively about child actors, I can't honestly say anything

04:16 else than he is as bad in this one as he was in Troll 2.

04:19 Thankfully he does not get the same amount of screen time for scenes where he has to

04:23 act there.

04:24 Oh, and if you for some reason have not seen the documentary he did nearly ten years ago

04:44 now called Best Worst Movie about his experience on Troll 2 and it's fandom, then you really

04:49 should.

04:50 It is a must see documentary for any fans of horror and cult movies in general.

04:55 Beyond Darkness is a Claudio Fragasso haunted house movie.

04:59 That is the selling point right there.

05:01 If that description makes you interested in this film, then you are the target audience

05:04 for this.

05:05 I know this is not a well crafted film with an interesting and unique story or anything

05:10 like that, but I still had fun with Beyond Darkness, so if you have an heart for silly

05:15 and cheesy haunted house movies, then this might be worth checking out.

05:19 I am giving Beyond Darkness the good score of 3 out of 5.

05:25 Have you seen Beyond Darkness?

05:27 What did you think of it and how would you rank it amongst Fragassos other films?

05:31 And if you enjoy European horror films then check out my review for the great new Spanish

05:35 giallo inspired film The Glass Coffin.

05:37 Hope you enjoyed the review and please do come back again here in the future for more

05:41 reviews of European horror films here on Cinema Terror.
