the beyond (1981)


aka E tu vivrai nel terrore - L'aldilà. Seven Doors of Death.
"Woe be unto him that opens one of the seven gateways to hell, because through that gateway evil will invade the world."
Liza Merril (Catriona MacColl), a young woman inherits an broken down old hotel in the Louisiana swamps. She decides to spruce it up and reopen the place, but a series of accidents soon make her realise this is less of a gift than she thought, and may in fact be built over one of the seven gates of hell!
A goblin-esque score by Fabio Frizzi lifts this stylised, atmospheric and gory horror.
