D'Amato's adherence to all things vile and sleazy sometimes produces rubbish. In the case of BEYOND THE DARKNESS, he's delivered something great.
The theme is necrophilia and obsession. A man obsesses over his recently deceased girlfriend and beds her in his country house. Sexual intrigue with his maid livens proceedings and a sequence in which a hitchhiker has her fingernails removed is the one to write home about.
I'm not reluctant to say it: I love stuff like this when it's relentless, made without guilt, and moves at a quick clip.
The Goblin soundtrack feels just right and the special make-up effects are more than adequate.
D'Amato achieves a vile, putrid, rotten atmosphere with this gem, and you can't fault the guy for that, can you?
