Synopsis

The rookie journalist Vivian seeks Frederick, the caretaker of the oldest cemetery in an undefined country, asking for an interview and the old man tells the story of two "costumers" and both connected by a mysterious secret. The powerful gangster Jimmie Levinson accuses his former partner Paul Pattuchi of stealing a load of cocaine and orders to kill his beloved girlfriend Clarice. Paul is found dead later in a cottage, and Jimmie and his friends and girlfriends are visited during a dinner party by Robert Downing first and then by the sadistic Mortimer and his partner Rick seeking the truth about Paul and a suitcase with a mysterious relic. The second story takes place in the Middle Ages, where the cruel David Deming and his minion Tom Brewster chase the renegade priest James Flynn in the name of the Inquisition but actually trying to force him to reveal the secret of the Eternal Heart to grant immortality.

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
dilbertsuperman This has the worst acting ever and some rather dull minded plot twists but it has a glorious amount of violence. While the violence is often a bit under rate.. there are several scenes that will make anyone that likes a good gorefest smile in satisfaction.I give the director props for going between several different styles of movie inside of one movie- we begin with a gangster sort of setting and before you know it, we are back in time...But no matter what time it is or where we are- there are several people either being brutally murdered or tortured- hey.. that's what happens in this flick, and that's why I like it- it's mildly comical to wait for the moment in the scene where they just say.. ah hell let's just kill everyone.PLOT: a woman interviews a cemetery caretaker about the history of a holy relic and the bloodbath it has caused in its' wake. Several violent scenes- poor editing and poor acting are made up for by a large amount of violence to the point of being darkly comical.Anyone that has had a bad thanksgiving dinner should go home and watch the first scene of this movie. :-) This is a great trash flick for a party or when you are under the influence at home looking for some senseless violence.There are also some medieval scenes w dungeons for peeps that dig that. This is like a well-budgeted student film that redeems itself by butchering lots of people well.
HumanoidOfFlesh A young female reporter has hunted down the caretaker to get an exclusive story on him.The first story the crypt keeper tells her involves a bunch of gangsters,a suitcase with a mysterious secret and lots of gory violence and swearing with a bit of rape thrown in for good measure.The second story takes place in Medieval Times.It's loaded with gore and violence and it has to do with "the eternal heart" which might grant immortality to whoever feeds it the most blood."Beyond the Limits" is slightly better than "Chain Reaction",but not as enjoyable as 90's Ittenbach's splatterfests.At least it offers lots of gore:axes are buried in faces,throats are slashed,eyeballs are removed and guts fall out.Unfortunately there is zero suspense and the acting is simply atrocious.The film is worth watching only for its outrageous gore.6 out of 10.
Cenobitehell just bought it because i knew Xenia had a part in it.the title is right, this film really is Beyond the Limits, loads of gore and violence . loads. really good effects too. some people say the acting was bad, but i think only one or two people let that down. the rest were great.Xenia wasn't in it much, but her characters demise is the main part of the first of the two segments. speaking of blood and gore, Clarice (Xenia) certainly got a mouth-full of it! lol. and the poor girl didn't even know what was going on!i really enjoyed it, thanks to everyone who made it and I'm really looking forward to the other horrors Xenia gas been working on , especially the one with Debbie Rochon (sp?) who's a splatter queen herself, so to see these two icons (horror/scifi) together in a movie would be great!(also waiting for the comedy horror, so you've downloaded a demon, any news on when its out? anyone?)email me if you like. I'm open to all comments and suchcenobitehell@hotmail.comdon't worry, any addresses will be kept private.
face_of_terror PLOTA young female journalist Vivian comes to the Cemetery to get an interview from its keeper , a creepy looking guy named Frederick. Frederick tells her two strange stories that lead to an unspeakable and mystery secret.COMMENTSA few options I would like to comment : 1. Acting. Acting is actually poor except for a few people that can actually act so you can believe them. The Director Olaf Ittenbach has a cameo appearance in the beginning of the movie. Among actors , Darren Shahlavi looks really solid and shows good martial art skills. Those of you who seen 'Bad Moon' with Gary Daniels and Shahlavi , will probably agree with me. Another martial art specialist , Matthias Hues appears in the end of the movie as one of the bad guys. Other actors look really poor , and almost all of them have an accent (no clean English , whatsoever). But in this kind of movie you don't expect great acting at all. 2. Gore. Ittenbach does a great job here with all the SFX , gore effects. As usual , in Ittenbach's movies there's a lot of gore, tons of blood , people get slaughtered , cut into pieces , and tortured in very disturbing manner. Everything looks real , what is a big plus for this kind of movie. Its not as gory as Ittenbach's earlier movies "Premutos (1997)" and "Burning Moon (1992)" but there's enough of it to satisfy a gore fan ,believe me. Also with all the gore ,the movie is extremely violent.3. Plot. I started getting the plot with about 3-4 minutes left till the end. First story told by Frederick is about a bunch of guys who get involved in to this usual 'money-drugs' thing , and in the end they all get slaughtered like animals , in very violent ways. Second story takes place , probably in medieval Europe. A demented inquisitor is searching ancient writings which can make him eternal and give unrestricted power.By searching he tortures and kills people who don't obey him, in very gruesome ways. Both stories lead to Fredericks's own secret. But when Vivian realizes that , it's just too late…..OVERALLRecommended to Olaf Ittenbach's fans only. Fans of gory movies will be satisfied as well. For those of you expecting acting , plot or anything else except gore…..keep searching. Would I recommend this movie ? Watch for yourself people… I did like the violence and gore....everything else in this movie just doesn't worth it.
