Beyond Dream's Snore, November 11, 2008
This review is from: Beyond Dream's Door (Special Edition) (DVD)
This will be brief. I heard about this movie from the pages of the original GOREZONE magazine from Starlog Press in about 1988 or so. I've been looking for it ever since. Now that I have it, I realize this is a movie only "die hard" indie/horror/gore fans will dig. If you're a collector of the obscure,
buy this at an affordable price. If you don't appreciate low-level production and hideous acting with questionable special F/X, you may want to pass on this one. If you _do_ appreaciate this type of stuff, it goes nicely alongside Cameron's Closet and similar fare.

well worth a look, October 10, 2006
Yes,this film has it's limitations but it also has its strengths - considering that 99.9% of direct-to-video "movies" are total dreck,this stands as an interesting and fairly entertaining genre film (the fact it was shot on film counts for something!)
The pacing is a little slow,and yes it can be a bit confusing,but I feel that it was at least partially deliberate and not due to incompetence!
As it stands,I wouldn't suggest rushing out and aquiring at all costs,but it does remain an entertaining example of mid-to-late 80's direct to video film making that leaves me feeling (somewhat) nostalgic for pre-CGI cheap-o horror movies

To Dreamers Dead And Dying..., September 15, 2011
This review is from: Beyond Dream's Door (Special Edition) (DVD)
Made in Ohio for very little money, BEYOND DREAM'S DOOR is a sometimes goofy, somewhat shabby, eerily entertaining low budget film from the 80s. Logic is tossed out in favor of nightmarish imagery and apocalyptic atmosphere. Don't expect multi-million dollar fx or high-calibre acting. This is a small project w/ a big, dark heart! There are just as many brilliant moments as there are cheeezy ones, making for a semi-haunting experience. If you enjoy demons, ghouls, and / or the supernatural, then BDD is worth your time...
