Beyond Paranormal

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.

This has everything a horror sci-fi movie could want and more. Not sure what that early reviewer saw but maybe he or she didn't watch the film. Great performances and very entertaining!

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.

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.

Well, it is edited at times confusely.

Some acting parts are very off from main actress but i believe the direction is to blame as she showed she can act later on. I wish they kept the story tighter, more realistic in some parts, as by the end of the movie, reached with many fast forward jumps, i tought the last 2 scenes good and the overall idea good in the aspect of the 2 time lines connection. Great effort if director/writer pretty new at the game. Maybe a shorter and re edited version can raise the movie to watchable level plot and story wise. Cheers.
