Review 4K Movie

I couldn't help but smile at the fact that for the shooting of zombies Lucio, for lack of funding, hired simple homeless people for a drink. I would like to note that local Italian bums play no worse than professional extras. But this is a lyrical digression.

My acquaintance with L. Fulci's work started with 'The Beyond', I didn't watch his other films, but after this movie I will definitely review them and recommend them to those who love the Italian horror genre.

By detailing many of the gory scenes, Lucio's work was very reminiscent of another famous Italian horror master - Dario Argento. Again, for connoisseurs, this will be an additional reason to watch (or not) 'The Beyond'.

The unoriginal, simple plot is turned into a rather scary movie by the following points:

1. Music. Three simple chords create such a creepy melody that it literally gets under your bones. The music is especially 'successful' in the most gory scenes in the movie.

2. Attention to detail. I think that faint-hearted people should not watch this movie because of a few scenes where the process of destroying human flesh is shown with such care that all the wool stands up....

3. Actors' performance and, strangely enough, special effects, which are very professionally done for a movie of 81 years.

The only thing I really didn't understand was the doctor's behavior at the very end of the picture, when he was furiously fighting off the zombies, constantly shooting them anywhere but in the head. Although he couldn't help but notice that it was the headshot that killed the zombies.

Honestly, I couldn't stand it and screamed out loud at this point: You have to shoot in the head, in the head!!!
