Beyond the Door Triple Bill
Don't leave it open... even a crack, because once you go Beyond the Door... there is no coming back!
Take a demonic possession-based terror-fuelled thrill ride with ARROW as we embark on our journey with Ovidio G. Assonitis' original riff on The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby: Beyond the Door. Starring Juliet Mills as a mother being taken control of by the devil himself and featuring nose jazz, Richard Johnson bellowing "THE CHILD MUST BE BORN!" and a creepy mop-headed, pea soup guzzling little boy, this one is full of gross-out moments and fun physical effects.
Mario Bava's Shock was marketed in the states as Beyond the Door 2 and while the incredible Daria Nicolodi takes Juliet Mills' place as the mother pushed to breaking point, her son will look very familiar... With gallons of Bava style, a cracking core performance from Nicolodi and David Colin Jr. cornering the market in creep little boys driving their mum's to madness this one will take you to the edge.
Don't be late to board the return train back from the brink in Beyond the Door 3. Originally known as Amok Train but retitled to cash-in on the popularity and success of his original film by producer Ovidio G. Assonitis, this BTD sees an American student escape the clutches of a witch and jump a train with her friends only to then battle a baffling amount of black magic and locomotive possession. Outrageous and bizarre from beginning to bonkers bitter end, this is a great way to close out our Beyond the Door triple bill.
