BEYOND THE GATES OF HELL as great acting, cinematography, sound design, and music. The storyline is tight and clever. Everyone put their heart and their professionalism into this. I love the effect of the old school grainy screen; this enhanced the films texture.

My favourite performances were from Jennifer Moriarty and Brad Banacka. Still, I loved and admired everyone else's performances.

Joshua Palace's interpretation of Fabio Frizzi's musical style was fun to enjoy and it enhanced the movie's suspenseful buildup.

If there is one indie movie you see this year, make it this one. Bravo, Dustin Ferguson, and bravo to his entire team.

After buying a new house, a couple is shocked to learn the real estate agent wants it back from them but decides to stay, soon realizing that the demonic events of the past must've been started up again and have ensnared them in its plans.

On the whole, this is a pretty fun and enjoyable genre throwback. That comes about through the presentation which includes the visual aesthetics and a series of references that showcase a nice bit of love for the genre fare from the past. Other factors, from the messy effects-work on the creature that contains several references to further the connection and several storyline beats. Mixing together points from several films into this singular plotline, it allows for a solid base to tell its own story involving the desire to reclaim the house from the couple just after moving in, the strangers who keep showing up at the house, and the attempts at manipulating who's shown up that are in place to signal various forms of demonic activity are in place to bring about a nefarious plan to destroy them. On top of that, there's a lot of fun here involving the build present here, managing to pull off a great build-up to their plans coming to fruition that serves to fully unnerve her. As the meetings, strange behavior, and unsupportive husband finally take their toll, this one picks up considerably as the events here turn from demonic chantings to a zombie outbreak as they get resurrected for a brief cameo at the end. Still, all of this comes across way too quickly as if the homages to the past are supposed to make it all come together as nothing has time to be revealed or fleshed out properly due to the film's origins and excessively short running time. This really could've used more to connect the various plot points together as very little makes sense or is explained, and is what brings this one down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Brief Nudity.

The story involves a married couple that buys a mansion home, however instead of a welcoming to their new home its a warning.

The story tells you it's a supernatural feel, for the most part the cast does ok on their roles within this story, there is the occasional over hype on dialogue. I felt however it slapped you point a to point b with not enough Horror fill between scenes. The story has its own theme by placing a grained filter as the viewing lense to the audience to add more of that creepiness feel.

I would of liked to have seen more actions from the side characters that warn the couple to sell the mansion than being just victims and it almost doesn'tgive you any insight of whos who because of the events that take place. Even though the couple are the focal point it seemed less satisfactory as we get to the climax. The zombies I felt weren't necessary for the story since this is more demonic themed and the zombies only had a micro role in this.

The effects has some cheese to it but the visual effects sparked character. The film score has a nice tone.
