Beyond the Door
Directed by Ovidio G. Assoni
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, Beyond the Door stars Juliet Mills as Jessica Barrett, a young mother who starts to develop strange behaviors whilst pregnant with her third child. Before you can say “split pea soup”, Jessica is displaying signs of full-blown demonic possession – complete with projectile vomiting and fully-rotating head! Could it be that she’s carrying the child of the Antichrist himself? Legendary Italian filmmaker Ovidio G. Assontis helms a gloriously and notoriously bonkers riff on The Exorcist.
A pregnant woman's devil child can move furniture, open doors and make its mother's head spin.
Cast: Juliet Mills, Richard Johnson, David Colin Jr., Elizabeth Turner

It is such a crime that this was dragged out the way it was! For the first 10 minutes I thought it was going to be the most glorious, beautiful, weird movie I’d ever seen, and then pointless, breathy monologues devoured the majority of the run time. There were a few more great moments but they were drowned out by people talking about nothing and nothing happening. 3 skulls anyway, because for 10 minutes I soared 🦅🥫
A masterclass in poor pacing. There is some truly great horrific imagery and some cool narrative elements but you have to schlep through sooo many comically dragged out, boring and unnecessary scenes to get to them. The children’s dialogue is not only horrifically dubbed but absolutely non-sensical as they try to make it as “benignly demonic” as possible. I’m convinced someone could cut this into an extremely compelling short. Maybe 15 minutes of interesting footage/narrative.
I couldn't even finish it. The words didn't match the mouths of the children, almost like they were speaking a different language but the sound was dubbed to english. That in an of itself made it unbearable to watch.
Not Bad i have been wanting to watch this movie for awhile.It was creepy and had a good story.
Snooze fest
