This was about learning the tools of the trade and then getting a chance to use them, and we had a blast! Our guide, Chris, was excellent. We didn't go yelling at spirits, antagonizing them or anything like that. If you are a fan of ghost hunting shows, think more Ghost Hunters than Ghost Adventures. We wanted to learn about the equipment and see what we could on an actual investigation, albeit a short one. We didn't want to just walk around and hear stories about dead people or places that supposedly haunted. We booked out ghost hunting experience through the NOPS website. If you come in thinking it's bunk, it may not change your mind. I'm rating the ghost hunting for the experience of it. Without question, this one goes down as smoothly as a light bulb laced lemonade and will leave you with blood in your stool.First off, this post is not about whether or not ghosts are real. Stupid beyond words in every respect, you have to think that even Fulci realized how lacking and thin the story was (which he came up with) since he added in another useless dream sequence where Giorgio’s stepson gets attacked by zombies at his crypt. Searching through desks and safety deposit boxes for a will may not be as glamorous as getting some glass in a guy’s intestines, but just as important! That just goes to show you that the perfect murder isn’t just about coming up with a really far-fetched scheme involving a crazy little boy who likes to grind up light bulbs. The funniest part was that the family killed Giorgio because they were worried that he would cut them out of his will. Rosy has a confrontation with the rest of her family and tells them that they will have to live with what they’ve done before leaving to visit her father’s grave where she laughs heartily about everything, finally exiting the graveyard skipping merrily down the steps to the street below! Her father then had some drinks with the tainted ice cubes and this killed him when he failed to recognize that the “crushed up light bulb” taste of his drink wasn’t normal. Rosy accuses the mistress of being the culprit, then her own mother, then figures out that someone had tricked the little boy into grinding up light bulbs and filling the ice cube trays with them and some water.
VOICES FROM BEYOND MOVIE
The bulk of the movie is Rosy’s clumsy investigation of her father’s death. Their love is so strong (or she went really crazy at college) that she begins hearing her father’s voice telling her that she needs to find out who killed him!īut there’s an even bigger mystery to solve! Giorgio was a jerk, his family members are greedy trolls, and Rosy is an airheaded moron who listens to the voices of dead people. As each grieving relative or mistress approaches the casket, they remember how crappy Giorgio was to them when he was alive.Įveryone that is except his daughter Rosy, who was away at college and still loves her father very much. If you’re watching a Fulci movie for its gore then you better load up on the uppers, keep the lights on and make sure you don’t blink because the only gore is a short little autopsy scene where some guy is taking out the innards of Giorgio and gives us a play by play where he talks about stuff like the colon which is kind of scary in its own way.Īnd when your movie hinges on some dude talking about how he found chunks of glass in some guy’s intestine, you’re simply reminding me why I’ve never watched Bones.Īt Girogio’s funeral, there’s a nice mixture of memorial service and flashback. (Surely a dream sequence for any guy who’s ever had his girlfriend’s snot-nosed kid interrupt some good loving with their self-centered mewling.) Most likely this was a dream sequence because this little kid later was the instrument in the devious plot that killed this guy.
VOICES FROM BEYOND SKIN
Had the producers taken advantage of an aged Fulci and tricked him into making a grody skin flick? If that’s what they thought, the joke’s on them because the guy (Giorgio) rolls off the girl when he hears her kid crying and repeatedly stabs the piss out of him with some scissors right in his little kid gut!
VOICES FROM BEYOND TV
Holy crap, I thought! We were going to be haunted by really icky made-for-Italian TV softcore porn! I was a bit surprised then when the first scene consisted of two naked people humping each other. I was hoping though that he was going out with a little class when it began since the word “prologue” came up and I had visions of a grizzled old sailor setting the stage for a tale of some foul deed done long ago and the resulting modern day ghost seeking revenge.
Lucio Fulci‘s penultimate film, Voices From Beyond is beyond awful and repeatedly threatened to plunge me into a catatonic state.
