Grindhouse Releasing has announced that its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Lucio Fulci's cult film The Beyond (1981), a six-disc set, will be its "most elaborate release to date". The label has not yet confirmed a preliminary release date.
Also included with this announcement is an exclusive new poster for the new 4K restoration of The Beyond.
The Beyond opens at the IFC Center in New York City on October 25. A special drive-in screening of The Beyond, Pieces and The Evil Dead will also be held at the Sparta Drive-In, Sparta, TN.
A young woman from New York named Liza (Katherine MacColl) inherits a Louisiana motel that has been unoccupied for nearly 60 years. While restoring the old building, many of the workers meet mysterious and untimely deaths, each more ill-fated than the next. Furthermore, Liza is visited by a blind specter named Emily (Sarah Keller) who lectures from a 4,000-year-old book of collected prophecies that explains the motel is situated above one of seven portals to hell. As her sanity dwindles, Liza finds some much-needed stability in a local doctor named John McCabe (David Warbeck), who is determined to find a rational explanation for the recent state of affairs.
Nevertheless, the protagonists are led through a maze of bizarre confrontations with beings beyond the realm of the living, and into an apocalyptic world of unknown horrors. The Beyondis at once the quintessential Lucio Fulci film and a staple in the overall Italian horror genre. The director's epic masterpiece is a blend of atmospheric surrealism and nightmarish visions (a grisly tarantula attack, flesh-melting acid spills, a softball-sized gun blast through the skull of a young zombified girl, and an eyeball impaling or two) that are definitely unsuitable for those with weak stomachs.
