When she escapes to the hospital of a friendly doctor she doesn't know what a nightmare is waiting there I became a big fan of his work after watching this movie. Have seen a good portion of his films since. The opening prologue is shot in a gorgeous sepia color. Anchor Bay did a excellent job in the restoration of the film for DVD. The chain whipping scene in it is a repeat of the one in Don't Torture a Duckling The chain whipping in The Beyond is much more gory.
There are a couple of reasons why the chain whipping scene in Don't Torture a Duckling is more powerful and potent then in The Beyond. The scenes take place in natural settings. Goes for violent realism. The death of Maciara is depressing to watch. L'Aldila was part of a trilogy called the 7 gates trilogy. This started with The Gates of Hell , continued with this film, and was to end with The Beyond 2. Unfortunately, this trilogy would never be completed. This is a shame because I would have loved to see that film to know if it was good as the first two movies of the trilogy. The original intentions of The Beyond are different from the final results.
This was because of budget and time restrictions. I wonder how much better the pic might have been with a modest budget and a little more time.
The make up effects is one of the film's best features. Despite the low budget, Giannetto De Rossi's effects are spectacular. The effects are done with flair and pizazz. Giannetto De Rossi did his best when working with Fulci. The effects for the death of Joe the Plumber are very good. The best effects in the film is the scene involving the young girl near the end. The cinematography is spliced with atmosphere and style.
Sergio Salvalti contributes to the film's gothic flavour. The cinematography contains a dreamish flow that makes the film beautiful. The score is one of my favourites for a horror film. The score fits perfectly with the scenes in the film. As good as anything done for Argento by Goblin. The Beyond is an 'Absolute Film' where image and sound are the most important part of a film. On the making of this, Fulci once said, "My idea was to make an absolute film, with all the horrors of the world.
Its a plotless film, there's no logic to it, just a succession of images". This is something that people who hate the film don't and will never understand. Many people do not like this because of its nonlinear structure. He also said, "In Italy we make films based on pure themes, without a plot and The Beyond like Inferno refuses conventions Receiving a movie like this without any reflection is a hard thing for many film goers to do.
The works of Antonin Artoud and H. P Lovecraft play a major influence on The Beyond Fulci was inspired by this controversial French artist. The ideas of Artoud are present in most of Fulci's work. Schweick the painter bears a little resemblence to Antonin Artoud. Artoud was the founder of "The Theater of Cruelty" which talked to "Restore to the theater a passionate and convulsive conception of life, and it is in this sense of violent rigor and extreme condensation of scenic elements that the cruelty on which it is based on must be understood". This idea can be applied to The Cinema and this film.
The comment "Violence is Italian Art" by Fulci is relative to the movie and the history of Italian art. Its one of the few films where atmosphere and gore mix well together. Has good moments of spirital horror. The atmosphere is eerie and terrifying.
The gory set pieces are satisfying. The surreal atmosphere and bloody imagery is what makes the film a classic. The Beyond would influence many later American and Italian horror flicks. Punshon of The Guardian in his review of 10 December began by saying, "To decide whether a writer of fiction possesses the true novelist's gift it is often a good plan to consider whether the minor characters in his or her book, those to whose creation the author has probably given little thought, stand out in the narrative in their own right as living personalities. This test is one Mrs. Christie always passes successfully, and never more so than in her new book.
Poirot's little grey cells had indeed been obliged to work at full pressure to unravel a mystery which includes one of those carefully worked out alibis that seem alike to fascinate Mrs.
Christie and to provide her with the best opportunities for displaying her own skill. A fault-finding critic may, however, wonder whether M. Poirot is not growing just a little too fond of keeping to himself such important facts as the bullet-hole in the table. If he is to enjoy all, a reader should also know all.
Usually if you get a good plot there is something wrong with the writing or the characters. But with her — you have everything that makes a first-class book. The familiar marital triangle, set on a Nile steamer. Comparatively little local colour, but some good grotesques among the passengers — of which the film took advantage.
Spies and agitators are beginning to invade the pure Christie detective story at this period, as the slide towards war begins. Agatha Christie adapted the novel into a stage play which opened at the Dundee Repertory Theatre on 17 January [12] under the title of Hidden Horizon and opened in the West End on 19 March under the title Murder on the Nile and on Broadway on 19 September under the same title.

Tim Allerton is replaced as Rosalie's love interest by Ferguson. The novel was adapted as a five-part serial for BBC Radio 4 in John Moffatt reprised his role of Poirot. The serial was broadcast weekly from Thursday, 2 January to Thursday, 30 January at All five episodes were recorded on Friday, 12 July at Broadcasting House.
