    • Trivia
      Despite the title, this film has nothing to do with Beyond the Door (1974) (aka Beyond The Door), or Shock (1977) (aka Beyond The Door II). When Epic Productions acquired the distribution rights, they re-titled the film Beyond the Door III, to capitalize on the success of the original film.

    Get Off the Train
    Beyond the Door III (1989)

    * 1/2 (out of 4)

    In 1974 the Italian film CHI SEI? was released in America as BEYOND THE DOOR. The film was one of many rips of THE EXORCIST but it made enough money to where future producers would remember the "new" title. In 1979 Mario Bava made a film called SHOCK but since the title wasn't catchy enough it was renamed BEYOND THE DOOR II even though it had nothing to do with the first film. Then, in 1989, there was AMOK TRAIN, another weak title that couldn't grab people so the producer's decided to call it BEYOND THE DOOR III. So, in a fifteen year period we had three films in the BEYOND THE DOOR series and yet it wasn't ever a real title or series for that matter. You gotta love these Italian name changes (check out DAWN OF THE DEAD and ZOMBI for more).

    The "story" has seven American teenagers taking a school trip to Yugoslavia where they will witness a pre-Christian passion play. One of the girls (Mary Kohnert) doesn't want to go because she's actually from this small village but the group ends up there and soon the locals are trying to kill them. It turns out the girl is a virgin so she's prime material to become the wife of Lucifer. The kids end up on a train where they think they're making an escape but it's just leading them to one gruesome death after another. BEYOND THE DOOR III or AMOK TRAIN, whatever you want to call it, has some pretty good stuff going for it but sadly the story is just so bad and pointless that the majority of the running time you're wishing a train would run you over so you could get pass the boredom. Most of the movie takes place on this train and there's not a single thing going on. The kids talk about what's going on. A few new characters enter the picture. The kids talk some more and this just keeps going and going. I'm really confused why they'd build some beautiful sets of the villages and then only shoot there for what ends up being about ten-minutes worth of screen time. This village looks quite good and had a rather nice atmosphere so why they selected to go on the train is anyone's guess. The film runs 94-minutes in its uncut state and the majority of that time is just boring dialogue or we have a couple kids not on the train who walk around not doing a thing. The film actually does have some good things going for it with one being the cinematography by Adolfo Bartoli. There's no question this was an extra low-budget movie but you wouldn't know it just by looking at the film because it looks very professional and that's not hardly the case with these type of films. Another plus are the gore effects, which are quite good looking and since this is an Italian movie we get all sorts of bloody deaths. The first murder involves one of the strangest decapitations I've ever seen and things just get more gory from here including one sequence where a woman peels her face off. The Lucifer creature here is pretty silly looking though. Most of the cast is forgettable but we do get Bo Svenson in a brief role as the Professor. It's too bad a better screenplay wasn't written for this thing and it's a shame most of the time took place on the train because there are enough decent elements here that should have made for a better movie.
