Re: Beyond the Door (1974) DVD ADDED
Thank Anthony.
A couple of things:
1. In the CUTS section, it is missing an open bracket "(" before the runtime i.e. should be: (102:57 PAL).
2. I noticed that you put "Specifications to be confirmed". The only thing to be confirmed is the region coding. I don't know the region coding myself, but unless you have it on good authority that it is region 0, it might be best to put it as region 2 for now. Unfortunately, after the DVD drive in my laptop packed up, the only DVD players I have are standalone DVD and Blu-ray players that are all multi-region for DVD and don't give a readout of the region. Therefore all DVDs load, and there is no way for me to tell whether or not a DVD is region locked.

Thanks Anthony - yes I remembered the 's' this time!
It's all good now. Sorry I can't provide the region coding, but I literally have no method of doing so for the foreseeable future. I can sometimes find it online, but in this case the release is quite an obscure one.
This DVD is kind of obsolete for me anyway, as I have since bought the Arrow Films UK 2 disc Blu-ray. Even this was mostly for completeness, as I have Beyond The Door 2 and 3 in my collection too, although I haven't watched those yet. I think they are essentially name-only sequels anyway. The original movie is basically similar to The Exorcist, although nowhere near as good in my opinion. Plus - and I admit to some this might be sacrilege - I don't even like The Exorcist very much! And this is coming from a big horror movie fan! I think part of the reason is that I have never been religious, so have never felt the "fear of god", and hence I just don't find it scary. I once read a review of The Exorcist written by someone who was raised Catholic, and found the movie really scary when they were younger, but later they lost their faith, and when they watched the movie again, they no longer found it scary. So it's not just me! But give me John Carpenter's The Fog any day!
