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.

Loved this series...scary, and romantic love story. I watched all 3 episodes in one night. The ending was unexpected, emotional, heartfelt. I cried! You will love this show.

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.

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.

Topping in at a perfectly designed three episodes this French mini-serial is a cerebral circular trip into a dimensional rift in an abandoned mansion inherited by the lead character. Balanced dark and heartfelt storytelling combined with intellectual horror makes for a paced psychodrama.

Subtly directed and shot so as to not blatantly build up the viewer for a jump scare and patiently scored to achieve further of the same. Although not a fast-paced thriller or classic American horror film / series, Beyond The Walls delivers in a way that many local viewers may find boring or slow - not the case at all for those viewers who are more intellectually inclined to understand the horror genre is not only jump scares and slashers.

A recommended binge watch when you have a few hours laid up on the couch or stuck in transit.
