Review of Beyond the Darkness

Saw this fr the first in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently on a bluray. Most fellas here on IMDb considers this film to be the best work of Joe D'Amato but I don't agree. It is not a bad film but this film tends to b more on the psychology n perversion of human nature. The plot is a lil similar to Psycho. A rich orphan lives alone with his jealous caretaker who has killed his fiance thru some voodoo stuff. But our psycho is another level Norman Bates, he is an expert taxidermist who after digging his girlfriend's body, has preserved it in his bedroom. While his caretaker breastfeeds him to reduce his stress. She ain't no Caritas Romana but a deranged psychotic who butchers human bodies n gives handjobs to our Norman Bates while he keeps on watching his dead girlfriend's body. This is a D'Amato film n it cannot be complete without gore but the scene of fingernails is not for the squeamish.
