The Overlook Film Festival returns to New Orleans, Louisiana from April 4 – April 7 (browse the full lineup here), with hot new genre movies including Cuckoo, I Saw the TV Glow, and Abigail set to show fans what the horror genre is made of here in 2024. But it’s not just brand new movies that are world premiering at the Overlook Film Festival next month.
This year’s Overlook Film Festival will also play host to the world premiere of Grindhouse Releasing’s brand new 4K restoration of the Lucio Fulci horror classic, The Beyond!
The festival previews, “Lucio Fulci, the Giallo maestro himself, sets his sights on the bayou with his propulsive, brain-melting nightmare of psychedelia. Shot entirely in and around New Orleans, and driven by one of the all-time great Fabio Frizzi scores, Grindhouse Releasing’s brand new restoration is mandatory big-screen viewing.”
The 1981 Italian horror classic from master of horror Lucio Fulci stars Catriona MacColl, David Warbeck, Sarah Keller, Antoine Saint-John, and Veronica Lazar.
In the film, “A woman inherits an old hotel in Louisiana where, following a series of supernatural accidents, she learns the building was built over one of the entrances to Hell.”
Meagan Navarro wrote about The Beyond earlier this year, “One of Lucio Fulci’s most beloved horror films and the second entry in his unofficial “Gates of Hell” trilogy, The Beyond is also the director’s most influential. Bleak, surreal, and dreamlike in its storytelling, The Beyond toes the line between beauty and horror.”
“Essentially, The Beyond is what happens when you cross Fulci with H.P. Lovecraft,” Meagan continued. “The result is a foreboding, apocalyptic horror movie with a tangible sense of doom.”
