Review
Beyond the Door was released November 21, 1974 in Italy and
it was also released July 31, 1975 in the U.S. Written and Directed
by Ovidio G. Assonitis and produced by Edward L. Montoro and
Ovidio G. Assonitis. This film has a very controversial back story
behind it. Warner Bros. sued the makers of this movie for copyright
infringement. But the lawsuit was eventually thrown out due to the
fact that Warner Bros. couldn't claim copyrights to specific scenes
that were similar to those used in the movie the Exorcist. Beyond
the door has always been accused of ripping off the Exorcist.
Despite the controversy the movie made a decent amount of
money, about 15 million actually. The film has many other titles
also. The original Italian title of this movie is called Chi Sei.
In Australia its known as Behind The Door. Theres quite a list
of other names to. There is about 15 extra minutes included in
some other versions of the film as well. There are sequels,
Beyond The Door 2 and Beyond The Door 3. But if you are
looking for a continuation of the original story of the first
Beyond The Door, you can forget it. There is no continuation
of the original story. The film was finally released on DVD
back in 2008. So if your interested in checking out the movie
to find out what all the controversy is about with this film
then feel free to. Otherwise, i didn't find it all that interesting.
I found it to be quite slow and the basics of the story has all
been done before. So nothing outstanding here. Don't be
fooled by the trailer. The trailer is way more entertaining then
the movie.
RATING: 1/5
