Au-delà des murs

Beyond the Walls a French serial film is a mystery wrapped up in an enigma of epic proportions. The story line unfolds for the main characters, Lisa, Julian and Sophie in ways that seem to teeter on the edge of horror making it a thriller. To reveal bonds in relationships which interconnect and satisfies the yearnings of the soul. Restoring faith in humanity.

Life is so bad for Lisa, she pretends to be married- even wears a fake wedding band. She lives in a small apartment and presses through life with what appears to be a dark future. Until she inherits a house from a man she's never known and has no familial connection. This is the introduction to Au Delà des Murs translated to Beyond the Walls. Picture This is a French mini-series, broken into three parts. It's part drama, horror and mystery, sharing a woman's life after dealing with a lifetime of guilt and depression.The story is dark and slightly depressing, but that quickly changed as you watch her discover the house is more than it appears.

This series is fascinating, sharing a horror that's more of an emotional haunt. You find yourself pulled in to the sense of loss and curiosity. After a while, if you're like me, you may even figure out what's going to happen, but that's okay. You will still watch, just to be sure.

Beyond the Walls is nicely written and probably would have just as good as a movie, but I don't know much about how the French do things. I do know that this show is beautiful and once you see the ending, you'll be like, "Awww... " in a good way.

Au-delà des murs is a fantastic thriller that I came across on the French Arte channel. It is about the mysterious adventure of a woman who inherits an old house across the street from a man died 30 years ago. She cracks through a wall in the mystic house and finds herself in a fantasy-dream world. The suspense and tension is maintained all throughout the movie. The main elements of a thriller is very cleverly used by the director such as the sombreness, foggy forest, zombies and some symbolic elements representing life and death. The acting is generally very successful, such as that of the main character Lisa, the little girl Sophie and the old lady Rose. I would like to congratulate the makers and actors of this film. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Au-delà des murs/Beyond the Walls is a nice French mini-series with a surreal feeling and a light touch of horror - a hidden mysterious world lies behind the walls of an abandoned house and our heroin got to explore this maze-like world to find her way back.

Fine production, a fine setting and solid acting make Beyond the Walls an entertaining experience for the connoisseur of the unusual. I enjoyed watching the show. Good one.

I ran across the ending of the first of the 3 parts in this mini-series on Shudder. It was intense and very creepy. Then I went back and watched all 3 episodes one after another.

The first 30 minutes or so really just set up the story - let you get to know Lisa, the main character, and her personality. This is important as the entire story plays out. I was quite moved at the ending; not what I expected, but quite amazing.

This is highly recommended. If it was available in the US on DVD or Blu-Ray I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but it's not so I think Shudder is the only way to see it. Shudder is available on iTunes and Amazon.
