The Beyond

Yes, The Beyond is one of the three films commonly referred to as Lucio Fulci's 'Gates of Hell' trilogy, along with City of the Living Dead (1980) and The House by the Cemetery (1981). The film takes place in Louisiana, where one of the seven gates of hell has been opened beneath a hotel. Each film in the trilogy deals with supernatural portals to the underworld.

The Beyond is notorious for its extreme graphic violence, including a famous scene involving acid and a tarantula attack sequence. The film was heavily censored in many countries, and an uncut version was eventually released in the US by Grindhouse Releasing. It received an X rating in some territories and was placed on the UK's 'video nasty' list during the 1980s.

The film follows a young woman named Liza who inherits an old hotel in Louisiana, only to discover it was built over one of the seven gateways to hell. After a series of gruesome supernatural events and zombie attacks, the gate is opened, trapping survivors in a nightmarish otherworld. The film stars Catriona MacColl and David Warbeck.

The Beyond ends with Liza and Dr. McCabe falling through the hotel into a desolate, ash-covered hellscape where they are blinded and left wandering aimlessly. This bleak ending was Fulci's artistic vision and was intended to evoke the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. The ending remains one of the most discussed aspects of the film among horror fans.
