Beyond the Darkness

Film Skool

| It’s been condemned as “flinch-inducing” (The Terror Trap), “stomach-churning” (Horror 101) and “one of the most sickening movies ever made” (Classic Horror), while simultaneously acclaimed as “dark poetry” (Mondo Digital), “gut-fondling fun” (DVD Talk) and “an astonishing achievement” (At the Mansion of Madness). Now experience “Joe D’Amato’s horror masterpiece” (Genre Grinder) like never before, in UHD for the first time ever: Cinzia Monreale (The Beyond) and Franca Stoppi (The Other Hell) star in this psychosexual sickie featuring torture, cannibalism, necrophilia, unrequited love and other perversions, fully restored, totally uncensored and set to a pounding score by Goblin.

Severin Films is obscenely proud to present “the sordid gem that surpasses its reputation” (Daily Dead) – also known as Buried Alive and Buio Omega – scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with over 5 hours of all-new and archival Special Features.
