Beyond Paranormal

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror sci-fi movie "Beyond Paranormal", I wasn't really harboring much of any great expectations from writer and director Matteo Ribaudo given the movie's somewhat rather lousy cover. And truth be told, then the whole 'influencer' thing is just ridiculous beyond belief that it has zero appeal to me. But with "Beyond Paranormal" being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.

Now, I should have opted to check out IMDb before watching the movie, as the really low rating of the movie would have been a warning sign of what lied ahead and what I was in for. Wow. Just wow. The storyline written by Matteo Ribaudo was laughably bad. It felt like it was the school project of a middle schooler that had to write a horror story for a term paper. So don't expect the great Shakespearian experience if you opt to sit down and watch "Beyond Paranormal". But take heed!

The acting performances in the movie were actually okay, especially when taking into consideration the horrible script that Cortney Palm (playing Lilly) and Ryan Donowho (playing Ray) had to work with. Aside from those two, the movie had a very small cast ensemble, so it was essentially Palm and Donowho whom carried the movie.

For a horror movie, then "Beyond Paranormal" just failed on so many levels. First of all, the script and story was immature and just downright generic. I suppose if you are new to the horror genre that you will find something worthwhile here, but for a horror veteran then "Beyond Paranormal" just didn't cut it. Heck, I even fell asleep during the 1 hour and 42 minutes that the movie ran for. And when I woke up, I was still up to speed with the events that transpired in the movie, and that says something about the contents that there was to the storyline.

Visually then I will say that "Beyond Paranormal" wasn't actually bad. It wasn't spectacular either, so don't get your hopes up. But the special effects worked to their purpose, so that counted for something.

I am rating "Beyond Paranormal" a very generous three out of ten stars.

Well just watched this movie and couldn't really tell you what it was about, all I know is that it was rubbish and the reviews on here giving it 9 or 10 out of 10's are indeed fake.

Quite bad, but Anthony Cruz looks great.

This is just above an amateur effort. With some slightly decent camera work. A few of the actors are trying, but again, just an amateur effort.

I don't love the idea of people leaving entirely fake reviews. If this is the first movie you have been involved with, you can be very proud, but don't come onto to review sites and give ridiculously high reviews.

There is nothing to figure out because the plot makes no sense ... and since it is beyond paranormal nothing about is has to make sense, because it just all beyond normal. So any weirdness is just forgiven.

When I watched the Movie I wasn't sure about it for the first 25 minutes. I didn't see it coming but the acting and action is actually something that evolves with the tone of the movie. Stay the course!

This clever take on the paranormal genre is perfectly titled as it IS indeed Beyond Paranormal movies you've seen. This is less gimmick and gore dependent and more based on coherent story telling to create the feel of dread. It takes some set up to get going but it's a fun movie for sure and don't worry, you'll get your pound of flesh when the time it right!

Patricia Rae is great, Clint Howard was great to see and believe me, by the second half Cortney Palm and Ryan Donowho turn in a terrific performance!!

And made by users which are just arrived to IMBD. Coincidence? I don't think so :P Come on. This film is so bad that my cat has bit off his foot as he watched it. 0/10.
