DVD Brand New 6 A young woman from New York named Liza (Katherine MacColl) inherits a Louisiana motel that has been unoccupied for nearly 60 years. While restoring the old ... building, many of the workers meet mysterious and untimely deaths, each more ill-fated than the next. Furthermore, Liza is visited by a blind specter named Emily (Sarah Keller) who lectures from a 4000-year-old book of collected prophecies that explains the motel is situated above one of seven portals to hell. As her sanity dwindles, Liza finds some much-needed stability in a local doctor named John McCabe (David Warbeck), who is determined to find a rational explanation for the recent state of affairs. Nevertheless, the protagonists are led through a maze of bizarre confrontations with beings beyond the realm of the living, and into an apocalyptic world of unknown horrors. Read more Show Less

More About This Product

Overview

Widely regarded as Italian gore master Lucio Fulci's finest film, this DVD has a stunning transfer. The colors are glorious, from the sepia-toned pre-credit sequence to the bright white of the climactic scenes in the autopsy room. It is presented widescreen anamorphic with an aspect ratio of 2.25:1. The several sound choices include the original mono soundtrack in both English and Italian (with optional English subtitles), Dolby Digital Surround 5.1, and Dolby Surround 2.0. There is also a commentary track supplied by the stars of the film David Warbeck and Catriona MacColl. This track is very relaxed with the stars relaying numerous stories that may or may not be of interest to the general viewer. "Extras Section" features a seven-minute slide show with music of images for the film, including stills, posters, and behind-the-scenes photos. There are also short interview clips with the aforementioned stars as well as Fulci. The American, international, and German trailers are also included. There is a music video with clips from the movie by Necrophagia entitled "And You Will Live in Terror." The real treat of this section is the German color pre-credit sequence with optional English or French soundtracks. There are two hidden features: a trailer for Fulci's A Cat in the Brain in the "Images" section and footage of the U.S. theatrical opening for Seven Doors of Death in the audio section. A wonderful addition to the Lucio Fulci Collection released by Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Gregory Baird
Zombies, man-eating tarantulas, and buckets of blood -- what more does a horror film need? The Beyond a.k.a. Seven Doors of Death, an Italian horror gem by director Lucio Fulci, delivers plenty of Fulci's signature gore, all shot in splendid wide-screen color. The story is as basic as they come: Liza Katherine MacColl has inherited a dilapidated hotel in Louisiana that just happens to have been built over one of seven gateways to hell. A handsome but skeptical doctor David Warbeck and a mysterious white-eyed blind beauty Sarah Keller go along for the ride, but the bloodletting is the point in The Beyond. Fulci pulls out all the stops for his endlessly inventive scenes of carnage and mutilation, driving nails through various body parts and showing that there's more than one way to rip an eyeball out of its socket. Surprisingly, parts of The Beyond were actually shot on location in Louisiana, lending the haunting authenticity of a bayou atmosphere to this nonetheless quintessentially Italian thrill ride. The Anchor Bay DVD includes audio commentary, interviews, and a theatrical trailer.
All Movie Guide
This surreal and bloody horror epic is considered by the fans of cult director Lucio Fulci to be his magnum opus. Like many of this director's films, it suffers from erratic pacing and a tendency to lean a little too heavily on blood and gore for cheap shock effects. However, those viewers who can get past these flaws will be rewarded with an often stunning slice of gothic horror whose highpoints make it worth sticking with. The meandering quality of the story line, often a problem in Fulci films, actually enhances The Beyond's overall effect by amplifying the film's dreamlike edge: As the story grows less coherent, the creepy imagery gets more frenetic and allows the film to create a "living nightmare" feel reminiscent of Phantasm. Fulci's direction creates a thick, convincing gothic atmosphere and he crafts a few sequences that are almost unbearably suspenseful, including a scene where the heroes try to elude a squad of zombies in an abandoned hospital and a scene where the blind mystic is menaced by the spirits of the dead in a darkened living room. Some of the supporting performances tend toward campiness (an element not aided by the film's rather goofy dubbing job) but The Beyond nonetheless features two of the best performances in a Fulci film thanks to its leads: Catriona MacColl is an appealing and strong heroine and David Warbeck makes a solid square-jawed hero as the doctor who refuses to believe the surreal goings-on are supernatural. Finally, the film's surreal atmosphere is sealed by Sergio Salvati's ornate, colorful photography and a spine-tingling score from Fabio Frizzi that evokes Goblin and Ennio Morricone in equal measure. In the end, The Beyond is probably a bit too intense and diffuse in its narrative for the average viewer but its raw power makes it worthwhile for anyone interested in Italian horror at its nightmarish extreme.

    Not too bad!

    I never even heard of this movie when I bought it, but it was cheap and it had a strange synopsis on the back cover. However, I was surprised how great a horror film this movie actually is. It's worth the few bucks!

    THE FLOODGATE OF EVIL

    Here we go. Fulci at his best. The story is not to bad, the gore is mighty, and the ending is a killer. I can understand why it was withdrawn in Britain in the early 80's. Buy It now. Do not rent. This one's for keeps.

    It leaves you wanting more.

    Zombie films should be entertaining and this one is. Fulci zombies are always more realistic and rotting than the ones George Romero turns out. This movie isn't Oscar caliber material, but it wasn't meant to be. Anchor Bay did a very good job on this release. Although they did forget to mention that this DVD (the limited tin AND the regular edition) contains English subtitles, which can be turned on or off. At the main disc menu, click on audio setup and you'll see where the subtitles are at. The hearing impaired can finally follow this gem. I bought this without having ever seen it and I'm glad I did. The set used in the final scenes is incredibly atmospheric, unusual and moody, not to mention cool looking.
