LET THE EIBON TEMPS ROULEZ!
I like how this trailer pretends that something else significant happens in the movie. It features most of the grossest moments including my favorite(?), the creeping, foamy, bloody-acid Zombie juice. It's like zombie Mr. Bubble!
Scariest parts of the film includes the poster below daring to relate the film in any way to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and that it doesn't realize that in NOLA, as in the Alamo, there is no basement! Oh yes, and the synthesizer (I actually loved that!)
That said, it struck me that there was something in The Beyond that could be used metaphorically to explore a post-Katrina landscape. Intriguingly, Fulci locates (and shoots) the film in Louisiana (featuring a relocated New Yorker!) but otherwise makes nothing of the atmospheric setting or of the local culture or myths--ie voodoo, vampires, carnival or the legacy of slavery. And Hello, the movie's full of zombies...
love this from: Fulcithon
