Más allá del terror (1980) watch online HD

A quartet of homicidal youth delinquents on motorbikes goes on a bloody rampage: After gunning down all the staff and customers of a small bar and taking two hostages, they intrude the home of an old lady and kill her too. Dying, she spells a curse on the murderous youths who continue their escape and reach an old, now desecrated church in the middle of nowhere. At this creepy place, strange things start to happen...

What a delightfully obscure and sleazy production! This strange, but thoroughly original film has to be seen to be believed. The actors are rather bad, the production values are very low, but the affair never ever becomes tedious - there are just too many stunning ideas thrown into the plot for good measure, and most of them work. One particularly insane sequence has the gang celebrating sort of a black mass in the church, during which one of the gang members proclaims crazy and stupid things while masturbating! Towards the climax, even the living dead have their appearance in the most chilling sequence of the film. And, of course, there's also some gore for splatter freaks (one scene being very splashy).

MAS ALLA DEL TERROR is unique in many ways. It's neither a masterpiece nor a technically remarkable movie, and the logic of the plot is often non-existent. But it's such an energetic bag of surprises and fun details that it makes a cool partytape for all lovers of exciting trash.

During the robbery at a bar four bikers turn the place into vicious bloodbath.One of them dies during the shootout and the remaining three bandits take a middle-class couple hostage along with their car.During their stay in the old woman's residence they are cursed by her and all of them suddenly find themselves lost and stranded in a creepy monastery,where skeletal zombies in the vein of Amando de Ossorio "Blind Dead" quartet rise from their tombs.Sleazy and gory mix of bikersploitation and zombie movie with Templar-like,shroud-wearing living dead.The monastery is a pretty creepy place and there is some sex and nudity.It's a crying shame that "Beyond Terror" is so criminally obscure.8 out of 10.Beware of the masturbation at the altar!

With a friend being a fan of the Tombs of the Blind Dead series of movies,I started to search round for any similar titles that he could view during Halloween.Checking up on IMDb,I was thrilled to stumble on a film which appeared to mix Blind Dead-style zombies with bikers!,which led to me getting ready to find out how far fear could go.

The plot:

Scoring their latest drug hit,a group of bikers decide to do a robbery in order to fund their next drug stash.Getting caught in the middle of the robbery,the gang get into a fight with some cops,which leaves to them killing the cops,and the cops killing one of the gang.Kidnapping wealthy couple Jorge and Linda in the hope of getting a big ransom fee for their release,the gang force Jorge to be their getaway driver.

Arguing amongst themselves,Jorge ends up crashing the car near a house whose residences include an old woman,a sweet dog and a young boy hiding in his bedroom.Beating up the old woman and killing the dog, (what charmers!) the gang grab all the values from the house,and then set the place on fire.Stealing the old women's car,Jorge,Linda and the gang look on,as the young boy is burnt alive.Driving off with their stolen treasure,Jorge,Linda and the gang start looking for a place to stay for the night.Unknown to any of them,the old women was a Satanist,who uses her dying breath to put a curse on them all which will lead to this being the last "hit" that they ever have.

View on the film:

Avoiding any hint of the supernatural in the opening 30 minutes,the screenplay by co-writer/ (along with Miguel Lizondo and Juan Piquer Simón) director Tomás Aznar cuts into a vicious crime vein,as the writers expertly use harsh,brittle dialogue to show the near animal- like attitude that each of the gang members having to obstacle's in their way.Keeping the blood from the crime vein dripping across the titles entry into supernatural Horror,the writers' strike with a superb clash of styles between Crime & Horror,as the gang slowly discover that their old way of dealing with problems is useless in the deadly unknown.

Backed by a joyful,proto-Saga Mega Drive score,director Tomás Aznar attacks with a brutal force,thanks to Aznar matching the films harsh dialogue by having the gang take on murder,robbery,kidnapping at a relentless pace.Revealing that an aggressive onslaught is far from his only skill,Aznar soaks the film in an atmosphere, eerie mist which tightly wraps around the characters,as they find out what happens when you go further than fear .
