opening line
PdM's trailer had the look and feel of a post-zombie apocolypse Sile ce of the Lambs but turned out to be so much more
struggle of good v evil in an immortal cop and a demon who brings about the end of the world
Possession
Brazil-Portugese language original horror film that moves quickly. Starts with a gunfight and ends with a battle to save what is left of the world.
Beginning with a gun battle between a lone police office and three criminals, Beyond the Grave travels through an empty, and increasingly surrealistic world, populated by meandering zombies and the human survivors of some grand disaster, soundtrack and commentary provided by lunatic radio disc jockeys, declaring the end of the world, and ends with humanity's champion, dueling ultimate evil.
This skillfully made, low-budget, independent horror film from Brazil delivers a thrilling tale that is far too unique in the horror genre. Just when Beyond the Grave appears to be going over too familiar territory, director Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro and his team fearlessly head into uexpected directions. I hope this means that, just like France and Japan before it, Brazil is ready to unleash a spate of original and shocking new horror movies.
