Was almost going great until the end apart from...

[cursedone-40892 · 3/10 · 29 April 2022]

WTF did I just watch? Okay so here you get 2 movies in 1.

1 Is a cleverly crafted, well acted, well scripted little horror with a twist.

2 I have no idea WTF is going on with the clips of the director, pod cast, the landing of an Apollo landing craft on the deck (I know why, just why like that) or the plastic baby being dragged across the floor though fake blood at the end.

It was all going great (apart from the cuts to the ludicrous director right up until the last 5 mins, then it's like, hey kids, I know you are only 9 but do you want to finish Daddys picture for him while he is high on cocaine?

Cortney Palm is amazing tho 😉 One of her next movies is called Beaver Shark lol.

Costume Designer

I didn't make it past the first 5 mins after seeing those horrendous costumes. Do not hire.

Beyond terrible...

[paul_haakonsen · 3/10 · 17 January 2022]

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror sci-fi movie "Beyond Paranormal", I wasn't really harboring much of any great expectations from writer and director Matteo Ribaudo given the movie's somewhat rather lousy cover. And truth be told, then the whole 'influencer' thing is just ridiculous beyond belief that it has zero appeal to me. But with "Beyond Paranormal" being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.

Now, I should have opted to check out IMDb before watching the movie, as the really low rating of the movie would have been a warning sign of what lied ahead and what I was in for. Wow. Just wow. The storyline written by Matteo Ribaudo was laughably bad. It felt like it was the school project of a middle schooler that had to write a horror story for a term paper. So don't expect the great Shakespearian experience if you opt to sit down and watch "Beyond Paranormal". But take heed!

The acting performances in the movie were actually okay, especially when taking into consideration the horrible script that Cortney Palm (playing Lilly) and Ryan Donowho (playing Ray) had to work with. Aside from those two, the movie had a very small cast ensemble, so it was essentially Palm and Donowho whom carried the movie.

For a horror movie, then "Beyond Paranormal" just failed on so many levels. First of all, the script and story was immature and just downright generic. I suppose if you are new to the horror genre that you will find something worthwhile here, but for a horror veteran then "Beyond Paranormal" just didn't cut it. Heck, I even fell asleep during the 1 hour and 42 minutes that the movie ran for. And when I woke up, I was still up to speed with the events that transpired in the movie, and that says something about the contents that there was to the storyline.

Visually then I will say that "Beyond Paranormal" wasn't actually bad. It wasn't spectacular either, so don't get your hopes up. But the special effects worked to their purpose, so that counted for something.

I am rating "Beyond Paranormal" a very generous three out of ten stars.

some parts are 8 stars for b movie , some many 2....

[surfisfun · 5/10 · 29 September 2021]

Well, it is edited at times confusely.

Some acting parts are very off from main actress but i believe the direction is to blame as she showed she can act later on. I wish they kept the story tighter, more realistic in some parts, as by the end of the movie, reached with many fast forward jumps, i tought the last 2 scenes good and the overall idea good in the aspect of the 2 time lines connection. Great effort if director/writer pretty new at the game. Maybe a shorter and re edited version can raise the movie to watchable level plot and story wise. Cheers.

Yeap. All notes 9-10 are fake.

[artur-niedzielski · 1/10 · 29 September 2021]

And made by users which are just arrived to IMBD. Coincidence? I don't think so :P Come on. This film is so bad that my cat has bit off his foot as he watched it. 0/10.

Modern definition aside...

[Beyond0blivion · 1/10 · 21 October 2021]

..this movie is horrific...ally total waste of time and money.

Now, what I'm typing is to fullllfilll tthhee nnneeeddd of 150 characters characters characters are totally worthless in this movie, actors did plenty of nothing and the director I suspect is more pathetic than the one shown in the movie... Oopsie! Didn't mean to offend but I think I wanted to.

The French version is horrible

[choopiyouyou · 2/10 · 19 December 2021]

The dubbing of the film in French is horrible, I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes because of it.

Le doublage du film en français est horrible, je n'ai pas pu regarder plus de 10 minutes à cause de ça.

Quite bad, but Anthony Cruz looks great.

[LeatherCajun · 2/10 · 7 November 2023]

Quite bad, but Anthony Cruz looks great.

This is just above an amateur effort. With some slightly decent camera work. A few of the actors are trying, but again, just an amateur effort.

I don't love the idea of people leaving entirely fake reviews. If this is the first movie you have been involved with, you can be very proud, but don't come onto to review sites and give ridiculously high reviews.

There is nothing to figure out because the plot makes no sense ... and since it is beyond paranormal nothing about is has to make sense, because it just all beyond normal. So any weirdness is just forgiven.

Really really bad

[arranwilburt · 2/10 · 26 October 2021]

Well just watched this movie and couldn't really tell you what it was about, all I know is that it was rubbish and the reviews on here giving it 9 or 10 out of 10's are indeed fake.

What a fun ride that was...

[farron-marcus · 9/10 · 8 October 2021]

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A SMALL SPOILER🚨Let me say first that I just love movies! All of them. This one was really fun to watch especially being in the Halloween season. Great message also. The director's vision of showing how social media obsession can destroy relationships translated loud and clear. I also loved watching the camera dude at the end screaming his face off lol. He was my favorite character tbh. The voice of reason usually is though. Overall it was entertaining af. Perfect flick to watch while snuggling by the fire with your significant other BUT make sure to have that popcorn ready! Enjoy!!!

Agree not sci-fi.....BUT

[steiner-60097 · 9/10 · 28 September 2021]

As the prvious reviewer said it is not sci-fi HOWEVER it was an awesome thought provoking horror flick. The movie kept me intrigued the whole way through and the acting was great. I didn't realize that Ron Howard's brother was in the movie so that was fun. He is one of all all-time great character actors and always seems to wind up in great movies. I urge people to check this out...especially if you like mind bending horror flicks.

Total Sci-fi horror! Great fx!

[matteor · 8/10 · 28 September 2021]

This has everything a horror sci-fi movie could want and more. Not sure what that early reviewer saw but maybe he or she didn't watch the film. Great performances and very entertaining!

Very Entertaining

[jameskallas-72197 · 9/10 · 28 September 2021]

Great movie. Definitely have to pay attention to figure it out. Not the typical mindless Sci fi movie. It was very entertaining. Worth the watch.

Beyond Paranormal is the perfect title for this !!!

[cgshere · 8/10 · 29 September 2021]

When I watched the Movie I wasn't sure about it for the first 25 minutes. I didn't see it coming but the acting and action is actually something that evolves with the tone of the movie. Stay the course!

This clever take on the paranormal genre is perfectly titled as it IS indeed Beyond Paranormal movies you've seen. This is less gimmick and gore dependent and more based on coherent story telling to create the feel of dread. It takes some set up to get going but it's a fun movie for sure and don't worry, you'll get your pound of flesh when the time it right!

Patricia Rae is great, Clint Howard was great to see and believe me, by the second half Cortney Palm and Ryan Donowho turn in a terrific performance!!

Fully Entertained

[jaydaberkmen · 8/10 · 6 October 2021]

I was expecting your run of the mill, indie horror, but I was pleasantly surprised...for a couple reasons; Firstly, the characters are so charming and layered. I fell in love with the lead, Courtney Palm. The commitment these actors made really sold the highly welcomed weird elements of the story. And the balance of comedy to drama kept it fresh throughout the film. Secondly, I dug the sexuality of the film. It was done in a fun, non gratuitous way. I say these filmmakers made something worthy of viewing.

super fun, campy horror flick

[laf811 · 8/10 · 30 September 2021]

This movie was a blast to watch. Lots of over the top performances and kooky horror, gore stuff. Interesting storyline with a fun twist at the end. Also, great sound design!

Definitely beyond paranormal

[makkpoff · 9/10 · 29 September 2021]

Awesome movie with great special effects. This movie has so many twists and turns throughout the plot. It was a little confusing in the first 20 minutes but once it picked up I was very interested. It's unlike the normal Paranormal Activity movies with the cheap jump scares and nonstop security video footage. I liked that this movie actually had a storyline to it and a decent plot.

Great Movie for the Halloween Season

[riversand-26058 · 9/10 · 28 September 2021]

This is a great movie for halloween season .Great horror movie , good date movie if you want your date holding on.

Great horror movie

[joemccain-48195 · 10/10 · 7 October 2021]

Horror movies can be hit or miss most of the time. This movie really delivers both horror and content through out the movie. The characters and cast were outstanding. I want to give a personal shout out to Ms. Patricia Rae who's involvement with the movie made it so involved and added so much to make it so outstanding. I have always loved horror movies going back to the Friday 13th and old Dracula movies. So I have seen tons of movies for about 55 years going back to my childhood. It's very refreshing to see something unique and tastefully done in 2021. Great job with everything about the movie. 10 stars for sure.

Beyond Paranormal was Beyond Entertaining!!

[firstalarminc · 9/10 · 5 October 2021]

A solid movie with great performances and perfect timing for Halloween fun!

Not a fan of horror

[drdenap · 8/10 · 6 October 2021]

Very well written story that comes to life gradually over the films hour forty plus. I am not a huge fan of horror films but it was entertaining as well more profound as the internal plot evolves. Actors were actually pretty amazing in that the lead played her part as a bad actress so well that she was near perfect. Supporting cast added flare, Patricia R, and humor as well! Overall, movie was well written and directed and special effects and crescendo ending were surprisingly delightful ! Could have been a little shorter in length and would love to see this movie made with a large budget. Mr ribaudo, the director, made the film work!

Fun with good twists!

[robertfraser-54455 · 10/10 · 11 October 2021]

I really enjoyed this movie! I thought it was well shot and I NEVER saw the ending coming! Was a great October watch!

Pleasantly surprised

[tpatterson-42735 · 8/10 · 6 October 2021]

Not typically a fan of sci-fi movies but this was actually really fun to watch. Actors did a great job too! Thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the story line. Would definitely recommend.

Batting 1000!

[h2o24hrs · 10/10 · 5 October 2021]

The sci-fi horror movie, Beyond Paranormal , eerily transcends the viewer through time, space, astral travel, and evocation.

I felt I was having an OBE.

The sultry lead Lily (Cortney Palm)and sexy love interest Ray (Ryan Donowho) immediately draw you in with their incredible energy and enthusiasm. They are both interesting, believable and lovable.

The creepy character Chaz Gold played by Oliver Cooper is hilarious , very entertaining, and adds flavor to the film!

The extremely talented, effervescent, foxy Patricia Rae, portrays Angela the spiritual awareness extraordinaire with flair and spice. She is the real deal!

I absolutely love her! She is exquisitely divine!

The cast perpetuate a chilling plot worth watching!

In addition , throughout the film Clint Howard as Dr. Ulrich Von Strauss sets an ominous tone with plausible scientific explanations which creates even more fear and trepidation.

The gifted writer and skillful director Matteo Ribaudo knows how to grip his audience and keep them on the edge of their seats!

The Beyond Paranormal Director uses colorful landscapes, lucid imagery and a frightful narrative to take you on a ride to the other side!

This motion picture is horror, sci-fi ,supernatural, gore, thrill, twists and more!

Bravo, Mr. Ribaudo!

The creative wardrobes for the gorgeous princess Nikki Howard and warrior(s )Anthony Cruz, Ty Q, magnificent!

Really great campy sci-fi horror film!

[sdspictures · 9/10 · 5 October 2021]
