I didn't make it past the first 5 mins after seeing those horrendous costumes. Do not hire.

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, 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.

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 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 movie is horrific...ally total waste of time and money.

Now, what I'm typing is to fullllfilll tthhee nnneeeddd of 150 characters characters characters are totally worthless in this movie, actors did plenty of nothing and the director I suspect is more pathetic than the one shown in the movie... Oopsie! Didn't mean to offend but I think I wanted to.

The dubbing of the film in French is horrible, I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes because of it.

Le doublage du film en français est horrible, je n'ai pas pu regarder plus de 10 minutes à cause de ça.

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.

As the prvious reviewer said it is not sci-fi HOWEVER it was an awesome thought provoking horror flick. The movie kept me intrigued the whole way through and the acting was great. I didn't realize that Ron Howard's brother was in the movie so that was fun. He is one of all all-time great character actors and always seems to wind up in great movies. I urge people to check this out...especially if you like mind bending horror flicks.

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!

Great movie. Definitely have to pay attention to figure it out. Not the typical mindless Sci fi movie. It was very entertaining. Worth the watch.

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!!

I was expecting your run of the mill, indie horror, but I was pleasantly surprised...for a couple reasons; Firstly, the characters are so charming and layered. I fell in love with the lead, Courtney Palm. The commitment these actors made really sold the highly welcomed weird elements of the story. And the balance of comedy to drama kept it fresh throughout the film. Secondly, I dug the sexuality of the film. It was done in a fun, non gratuitous way. I say these filmmakers made something worthy of viewing.

This movie was a blast to watch. Lots of over the top performances and kooky horror, gore stuff. Interesting storyline with a fun twist at the end. Also, great sound design!

Awesome movie with great special effects. This movie has so many twists and turns throughout the plot. It was a little confusing in the first 20 minutes but once it picked up I was very interested. It's unlike the normal Paranormal Activity movies with the cheap jump scares and nonstop security video footage. I liked that this movie actually had a storyline to it and a decent plot.

This is a great movie for halloween season .Great horror movie , good date movie if you want your date holding on.

Very well written story that comes to life gradually over the films hour forty plus. I am not a huge fan of horror films but it was entertaining as well more profound as the internal plot evolves. Actors were actually pretty amazing in that the lead played her part as a bad actress so well that she was near perfect. Supporting cast added flare, Patricia R, and humor as well! Overall, movie was well written and directed and special effects and crescendo ending were surprisingly delightful ! Could have been a little shorter in length and would love to see this movie made with a large budget. Mr ribaudo, the director, made the film work!

Fun film one of the best horror films I've seen in a while completely original. Definitely original the script and filming was fantastic. Definitely should be a sequel.

This film is a Throwback to older horror films that are Campy scary and fun! Had some really scary moments as well as some funny moments great acting, the special effects look fantastic really enjoyed it.

Not typically a fan of sci-fi movies but this was actually really fun to watch. Actors did a great job too! Thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the story line. Would definitely recommend.

What a fun film! Be ready to be scared! A true statement on social media & its pitfalls to increase your likes & followers.

I really enjoyed this movie! I thought it was well shot and I NEVER saw the ending coming! Was a great October watch!

What a great watch, and just in time for Halloween! Loved the plot and the lead actors/actress! The special fx were much than i was expecting. Definitely check this one out!!
