Au-delà des murs

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.

I advise you to go into this superb French haunted-house story knowing as little about it as possible. Unfortunately I have to say something about it to hit the IMDB word count. So, Lisa is a somewhat lost young French woman who's dealing with some past trauma. She sleeps on a mattress on the floor in her almost-empty flat, and has an imaginary husband. One day she inherits a house from someone she's never met. It isn't long before she discovers something strange behind the walls... This series is atmospheric, bleak and bitter-sweet, but ultimately redemptive, with some genuinely slow-burn scary moments (no cheap jump-scares here). Well worth your time.

First of all, I'm Belgian (french speaking), so sorry for my English ...

Really a good surprise ! This is a mini series with 3 episodes (not too short, not long for that kind of stuff) The series is about supernatural and mysterious theme. The plot line is really intriguing, and that's the reason why I've choose to watch it ! A lugubrious and heavy atmosphere during all the movie (each episode). The actors are corrects and did their jobs well.

The series does not really contain some action scene, so the tempo is overall slow, but that makes it possible to feel this claustrophobic atmosphere...

As I Said before, it worth a look and that's why i've decided to wrote that (first) review.

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.

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.
