BEYOND THE DOOR III (1989)


  None of the BEYOND THE DOOR films have anything to do with each other except that this one was produced by Ovidio Assonitis who was the director and producer of the first film. The alternative titles of DEATH TRAIN and AMOK TRAIN are way more descriptive since most of the movie takes place on a Yugoslavian train. The plot is a pretty big mess concerning a group of students who go on a field trip to what seems to be a medieval Eastern European village run by a bunch of elderly Satanists and Bo Svenson in a goatee that makes him look like magician Penn Jillette. This might be Bo's greatest acting job ever as he has the accent down pat and is nothing like you've seen him before. There are some super gory( and also nonsensical) spectacles including the showstopper one where a guy gets ripped in half and then decapitated by the train. Not exactly essential viewing but good for some amusing splatter. 

 Allegedly Assonitis is working on a 4th movie in this pseudo-series titled EMBRYO: BEYOND THE DOOR as I type this.
