The Beyond just might be Lucio Fulci's masterpiece. The film is almost totally incoherent, and deals with pure imagery to shock and confuse all who see it. The story apparently involves a girl named Liza, and an old house--but this set up, which is barely a set up, quickly turns into a surreal journey that is always interesting and never bores. You get to see all kinds of crazy things that I won't go into here, but no doubt Mel Gibson learned a few things from this film when he made his modern exploitation flick Passion of the Christ. I will say that like my gf wrote, there is an epic battle of man vs. zombie involving a doctor that has apparently lost the ability to learn--or maybe in between edits he developed a short term memory problem. This one is highly recommended to those seeking a pure experience. If you try to follow the story, you will be sorely disappointed, but if you follow the film's wacky logic, you're in for good times!F for Fantastic
