Grindhouse Releasing has been working on this new 4K restoration of the Lucio Fulci horror classic since 2016, and it was made using the original Techniscope camera negative.
Their new 4K restoration of The Beyond premiered at this year’s Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans, where the movie was filmed, and is now touring select North American theaters in advance of the 4K UHD release. The Canadian premiere is October 23 at the Revue Cinema in Toronto.
Grindhouse is also giving away ‘Eerie Eyeballs’ in select cities, as they did back in 1998 when they released The Beyond to theaters via Quentin Tarantino’s Rolling Thunder Pictures.
“We are absolutely honored to have worked with legendary artist Emanuele Taglietti, who created this stunning new poster art,” said Bob Murawski, owner and co-founder of Grindhouse Releasing. “With a career spanning over 60 years, he is the last of the classic Italian illustrators.”
Son of a set designer for Antonioni, Emanuele Taglietti grew up on movie sets and worked with Federico Fellini as the production designer for Juliet of the Spirits. He was an assistant art director and set designer for films by acclaimed Italian directors such as Marco Ferreri, Sergio Sollima, and Ugo Tognazzi.
Taglietti is most known for his lurid, violent and sensational art in the Italian fumetti, adult comics of the 1970s and ‘80s. His work is anthologized in the book Sex and Horror: The Art of Emanuele Taglietti (Korero Press, 2015).
The 1981 Italian classic The Beyond 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.”
