Beyond the Darkness1979
“A fate worse than death!”
Directed by Joe D'Amato
The premise
A disturbed young embalmer digs the grave of his recently deceased girlfriend and brings her body to his family villa with help from his strange housekeeper. But his bouts of insanity are just beginning.
Horror Vault's take
A wealthy young taxidermist's grip on sanity begins to slip after the death of his beloved, leading him down a path of increasingly depraved acts aided by a disturbingly devoted housekeeper. This 1979 Italian shocker from director Joe D'Amato plunges deep into taboo territory, blending visceral practical effects with a queasy atmosphere of dread. It is a deeply unsettling portrait of a man consumed by an obsession that cannot — and will not — stay buried.
