Beyond the Door concludes with a lingering shot of a mouthless, stillborn baby that genuinely leaves you feeling empty and dead inside. Beneath the stolen Hollywood tropes lies a uniquely bleak, masterfully grim example 1970s cult cinema. #BHorror #HorrorCommunity

Mother’s Day doesn’t make my list of great cult films. All in all, it is a decent brain drainer, but it lacks staying power. Read More!
