Legendary filmmaker Ovidio G. Assonitis, whose Tentacles and Piranha II sought to cash in on the killer fish craze spawned by Jaws, first hit pay dirt in 1974 with Beyond the Door − a gloriously bonkers riff on The Exorcist featuring Emmy Award-winning actress Juliet Mills and distinguished British actor Richard Johnson.
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, Beyond the Door stars Mills as Jessica Barrett, a young mother who starts to develop strange behaviours whilst pregnant with her third child. Before you can say "split pea soup," Jessica is displaying signs of full-blown demonic possession − complete with projectile vomiting and fully-rotating head! Could it be that she's carrying the child of the Antichrist himself?
Described as "disgusting," "scary trash" and "maddeningly inappropriate" by film critic Roger Ebert and subject to a lawsuit by Warner Bros. (who claimed copyright infringement against a certain William Friedkin film), the devilish denizens at Arrow Films have summoned up this wickedly entertaining popcorn spiller fit for Satan himself!

Batshit crazy
It could have been a classic Italian rip-off of the Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby, but somewhere along the lines this movie seems to have taken a more psychedelic turn. And the result is insane ! Enjoy this demented slice of exploitation for what it is.

'There's NO known cure for terminal STD: Satanically Transmuted DNA!!!!!!!!!!!
This anatomically twisted, trimester tripping, antenatal nightmare is funkier than The Exorcist's sinfully anointed crucifix! That being said, the more timorous fear-seeking frightlings should, perhaps, seek their less spooksome cinematic sensations elsewhere, since the ungodly crude, fatally F'd up fetus makes Rosemary's Baby look like a Cabbage Patch Kid! The foul-mouthed progeny borne of this preternaturally perverse pregnancy will fearfully fertilize the sinister seeds of sordid shock deep within your B-Horror worshipping bowels! This iniquitous celluloid conception was ANYTHING but immaculate! Witness, if you DARE, the bloodiest birth of plasenta-shredding savagery in the brimstone-blasted, barnstormingly blasphemous 70s schlock horror classic 'Beyond The Door' aka 'Chi sei?' - What lies Beyond The Door?... The devil's waiting womb!!!!!
