 Hello and welcome to another edition of Frightfully Forgotten's Trash or Treasure. I'm the trash. I'm the treasure. Today we're doing another Patreon request. This is requested by Katie Roberts Ambrose and she would like us to tackle Beyond the Door. 1974. But before we get started, what are we drinking? Again, we are drinking Slaughtered Lamb English Bitter. Alright. This movie is directed by a video osonitis and he's directed such classics as Tentacles, The Visitor and Piranha 2. Juliette Marion Mills is in this, Gabriel Lavia is in this too. He was in Deep Red and Inferno. Click the link above. We did that one. Richard Johnson is in this and he's in the classic zombie movie, ZOMBIE or ZOMBIE 2 or ZOMBIE Flesh Eaters. Beyond the Door starts off with this weird kind of ritual happening. There's all these candles and there's this woman strapped to this glowing bed thing and some superimposed face. Superimposed bearded guys on this woman voice is talking to this guy telling him if he's got to save his own life, he's got to make sure that this baby is born into the world. This bearded guy is driving down this highway. Car goes over the cliff and it just frees frames. We then get introduced to the main characters of this movie, Jessica and Robert. There are a couple and Robert's this music producer shows him in his studio, being an asshole to all the musicians, whoa, whoa, cut, cut, quarter note break there, quarter note break. It goes ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta This shows these musicians are like, fuck you. It's like yeah baby, never had to play a 36 bar solo on my tool. Jessica picks up Robert from the recording studio and he tries hopping into the car like some action hero. We kind of find out about this family dynamic a little bit. Kids you find out are complete assholes. The daughter is like, hey you listen to this shit they're saying, what a bunch of crap. What's your nickname for him again? Asshole. My fucking little asshole. The dad's all, says nothing, calling him an asshole. Jessica and Robert go out for dinner. She tells him she's pregnant with baby number three. She goes to the doctor and finds out she's actually way more ahead than she thought she was. She's like three months pregnant. Robert loves his fish. His one passion besides music is this fish tank that he has, his aquarium. She smashes his aquarium with his ashtray. He wakes up in the middle of the night and just starts floating for some reason. Yeah, she's all evitating. All these weird sort of paranormal things start happening around the house. The towels start on fire for no reason. The dad wants to get into the room to find out what's going on and the door's locked and the girl won't let him in. The girl's like, hey man, cool that chive brother, like what the fuck. She lets the dad in and he's like, why didn't you let me in, you idiot? Calling your own daughter an idiot. The mother comes in and starts kissing the boy and everything and like making out with them practically. Yeah, it's like, I think it's a little weird, like a little unsettling. All this weird stuff is happening and it's making Jessica very uneasy about this pregnancy and she goes to the doctor and she wants an abortion. The doctor, however, won't let her because she's too far along now and there's this bearded guy too that is following them in the city whenever they go out shopping and stuff like that. He actually saves Robert from getting hit by a bus. He tells Robert that he knows what's going on. She has to see this pregnancy through and that he wants to be there during this whole process. Who the fuck are you? What the fuck is this all about? Y'all went to the house and it's a stranger. Jessica is acting very strange and she's almost full on possessed now, lying in bed and sitting up and turning her head around and shit. Puking up the spinach shit and everything and the green shit. Get the fuck out of here, get out. Robert has had enough and he starts to dig into Jessica's past and it turns out that Jessica is somehow linked with this bearded guy that keeps following them around the city and that wants to be involved with this pregnancy and the birth. That's where we're going to end the plot. We're looking ridiculous. If you want to see what's going to happen next with this cast of characters and whatever is happening with Jessica and the baby, keep watching beyond the door. So if it isn't obvious to you from the description of the movie and even by the clips we've been showing, this movie was branded instantly as a bad Italian exorcist not though. So much so that they actually got sued by Warner Brothers and they got a lot of shit. They actually had to give up a lot of their profits. He could make a better exorcist rip off. Coming father, can I eat you? My liver tells me I shouldn't but, God, I'll take the whole bottle. Drunkard! Father Davy Cross, it's an honor to meet you father. I need you to go to the liquor store for me. I need a two-four of beer, a box of wine and a bottle of whiskey. It's a large one. Are you sure you shouldn't sober up first, father? Why? You're not drinking, Davy. I've been under wagon for ten years. May God help you. Why don't you drink some water, you cock-sucker, motherfucking drunk? It is booze that gives me my power. It is whiskey that commands you. It is vodka that commands you. It is beer that commands you. It burns, it burns! The response, Davy. I don't even know what the hell you're talking about. None of this stuff is in the Bible. Your mother drinks blood, light and hell. The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! You're drinking too much, father! The power of Christ compels you! Why don't you drink, Davy? Just take one fourth of the road. I'm on the wagon! Father Davy Cross, you're under arrest. For child abuse and killing this old man. I need a drink. I'd go even further to saying it's more than a bad exorcist knockoff. It's an exorcist and the omen and Rosemary's baby knockoff all shoved into one movie. Is it trash or treasure? Let's start off with the treasure. The theme song for the movie is pretty cool. It's got this twangy super 70s theme. Bargain with the devil! The lyrics are really wicked actually. And it sort of draws you into the movie because the lyrics for the song sort of explain kind of what the movie's about. Reflects the movie. The production value of this movie is not bad. It looks good. It's a good looking movie. It's shot pretty well. The effects for the most part are pretty good. There's one scene where the kids are being terrorized and there's all that light coming out of the floorboards and everything's rocking back and forth. It's a good looking scene. It's a good looking movie. And the effects work pretty well. That is about all. That will lead us to the trash part of the movie. The characters for this movie, they leave so much to desire. There's not one character you like in this movie. You don't like the dad, Robert, because he's kind of an asshole. You don't like the kids because they're assholes. You don't have enough time to even like Jessica before she starts turning demonic. Yeah, and then by that point she's an asshole too. Yeah, so everybody's an asshole. That bearded guy shows up. He's an asshole. And there's no character development in this movie at all. Everything is just stagnant. What you see in the beginning of the movie is basically what you get throughout the whole movie to the end. The dubbing is horrible. The dubbing for this movie is oh my god. Well, first of all, the kids is obviously these like 40 year old adults doing the voice for the kids, not even trying to sound like kids. Yeah. Hey man, you're in for a real bad trip, kid. And then you're talking to your little brother like that, like you're... What the fuck? And all the dialogue is fucking horrible. It doesn't move the story or the characters forward whatsoever. It's just useless talking, pointless dribble. And the plot for this movie ultimately makes no sense too. So you have this ritual thing going on and this demon wants to be born through this woman. Why draw that much attention to yourself if the ultimate goal is to be born? Yeah. That's fucking ridiculous. This plot is so convoluted. It tries to be smart and interesting and different, but it just ends up being a mess. It's just a quagmire. The movie's almost two hours long. It doesn't need to be that long whatsoever. There was that one scene where Roberts is walking through the streets and these musicians, this guy playing his flute, starts following him and like... Three minutes long of these musicians following... Why? Is it supposed to mean that he has a presence that people are noticing or something? It doesn't add anything to the characters or the development of the fucking movie. There's so many scenes it's like, would you please stop talking? Just shut up and get on with something that moves things forward. The dialogue that the demon keeps saying, oh who are you? Why are you even asking? Why does the demon care? Who are you? It doesn't matter. It just wants to be born. Exactly! Don't ask! So just... Shut your mouth! Shut the fuck up and just be born. Why cause all this drama and ruckus? And the fact that nothing about this movie is original whatsoever. Exorcists rip off near the end where she's full on possessed. And before that there's all these haunting scenes which is like pretty standard haunting, the chair rocking back and forth. Obviously like a Rosemary's baby type thing. It doesn't bring anything new to the table whatsoever. So beyond the door is a trash or treasure. It is trash. Pure garbage. I'm sorry Katie, if you thought we'd like this movie, I'm not sure or if you expected us to shit all over it. Then I guess that's exactly what you wanted because this movie is just the most boring piece of shit. It's tough to get through. It's slow. Sadly I had seen this movie before too so when I rewatched it for this I was able to fast forward through a lot of parts. It's like, gay fuck, I know nothing happens here. Let's move it along. I had not seen it before. And when I sat through it I was like... I warned you too! I was like, you're in for a real trip man! You're in for a trip brother! It was tough. This is not a movie I'll ever watch ever again. It's not so bad, it's good. It's just boring and bad. Taking snippets from other movies and patching them together. Just to try and make money on the back of these other good selling movies. At all costs, please avoid beyond the door. Don't waste your time on almost two hours of complete nonsense. We wasted our lives. Don't waste yours. And until next time, keep drinking.
