Film Fest Gent - Videodroom 2025: The Beyond (E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldila)

Prepare yourself for a night of visceral horror and unforgettable music! Film Fest Gent's Videodroom 2025 presents a truly unique and chilling experience: *The Beyond (E tu vivrai nel terrore! L’aldila)*, Lucio Fulci’s 1981 horror masterpiece, accompanied by a live performance of its iconic soundtrack by the legendary Fabio Frizzi and a full band. Step into the world of Italian grand guignol, where Fulci, the undisputed master of gore, dared to push boundaries and challenge audiences. While contemporaries dazzled with style, Fulci embraced brutal realism, forcing you to confront the unthinkable – and he zooms in for the long, uncomfortable stare. This isn't your average horror movie night; it's an endurance test. A young woman inherits a decaying New Orleans hotel, unaware it sits atop one of the seven gates to hell, unleashing a torrent of madness and mayhem. Experience the film’s dreamlike, nightmarish atmosphere – hailed by many as a tangible realization of H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror – amplified by Fabio Frizzi's unforgettable soundtrack. A haunting blend of piano motifs, frantic strings, and pulsing '80s funk, it’s the perfect sonic landscape for Fulci's relentlessly nihilistic world. A true cinematic event for horror aficionados and music lovers alike, don't miss this chance to witness a classic re-imagined – live! Just be warned: Fulci isn’t for the faint of heart.
