![]() The Beyond $24.95 I can't really say much bad about this movie because it is unique. It's one of the crazier zombie flicks I've ever seen, there's a LOT going on. The movie is very gory and exploitative, moreso than any other Fulci movie I've ever seen, but since I like my horror with a good dose of fun this movie is a bit too serious for me. Still, bad acting and makeup aside, there's really nothing else like it. The infamous tarantula scene is a horrifyingly interminable combination of Jose Mojica Marins and H.G. Lewis. Yes it looks fake at times, but Fulci's direction is relentless and terrifying. Not my favorite Fulci, I like his lighter horror work better (The Black Cat, Seven Notes in Black), but for over-the-top gore hounds, weird-movie lovers and fans of Italian trash, this will probably hit the spot. Since it is being used very deceptively in the description I am including Roger Ebert's full quote about the movie (minor spoiler ahead)... "Fulci was known for his gory special effects (the Boston critic Gerald Peary, who has seen several of his films, cites one in which a woman vomits up her intestines), and ``The Beyond'' does not disappoint. I have already mentioned the scene where the tarantulas eat eyeballs and lips. As the tarantulas tear away each morsel, we can clearly see the strands of latex and glue holding it to the model of a corpse's head. Strictly speaking, it is a scene of tarantulas eating makeup. (One half star)" ![]() Beyond a Reasonable Doubt $29.98 I did not expect much from this movie. Mostly because it stars Jesse Metcalfe and Amber Tamblyn. Amber is ok but Jesse Metcalfe clearly needs some more practice. He's so emotionless. This movie would have been even better if he were replaced with a better actor. Sorry, but the guy needs work. I was definately wrong about the film though. This is actually a pretty good film. It's about this reporter that decides to frame himself for murder so he can expose the dirty D.A. played by the great Micheal Douglas. This movie has a really strong script. I don't think anyone with common sense would frame themselves for murder but this movie had me going. It also has this surprise ending that will make your jaw hit the floor. I would definately rent this one. If you can find it cheap on DVD it might even be worth buying. Decent actors,good story, and a surprise ending, you can't ask for much more than that. At least not from a straight to dvd movie. HOLLA ![]() The Beyond $14.98 Every single lucio fulci film has been re-issued but this,anchor bay blue-underground please re-issue this classic fulci film with tons of extras im tired of waiting.great film very creepy. ![]() Beyond Comparison $17.99 Early A.N.T, a young, upfront Musab, and a sprinkle of Slug makes for one classic recipe. For all the real heads, this is a good lesson. Musab works well with his words here, requiring you to think about the message, while offering new realizations numerous listens later. His flow is just as head bobbin' as A.N.T's stripped down beats. Slug's guests appearances are on point as well. This is a tight ship. A great early Rhymesayers cut. |
