« SHOCK » was Italian director Mario Bava’s last film. Retitled as « Beyond the Door II » for it’s modern US release, Anchor Bay’s recent DVD features a widescreen print of the film under it’s novel title. (Actually, the tantalizing noise the film makes when the title hits the cover made me jump in « shock »!) It’s a fun runt possession movie and features several very creepy moments…the standout being the shot where the possessed shrimp boy runs up to his Mom (Daria Nicolodi) and suddenly turns into the ghost of her uninteresting husband…all done without effects or cgi. All in all, the film doesn’t really demolish any fresh ground, but it’s a gracious last film from the novel italian panic maestro. The print shows some grain and some visual noise (mostly in the shadowy scenes) …it’s not dreadful, but it is not up to par with earlier AB titles. Extras include a short but bewitching interview with Lamberto Bava, the international trailer, and a couple of US tv spots (one as a double-bill with « The Dusky »!), plus the usual talent bios. A beautiful basic package, but definitely a Must for Bava fans.
Creepy atmosphere, astronomical soundtrack, curious legend. A family moves benefit to a house with outmoded memories. Outlandish things initiate to happen as the woman’s son begins to behave strangely. I don’t want to go deeper into the tale because it will waste the movie. It is definetely worth watching, especially if you are a fan of Italian Cinema. I would recommend, good addition to your dismay collection.
