Whenever you rent a movie or watch one on Netflix that you
have never heard of, you run the risk of picking out a horrible film or a pure
gem. Sometimes you get lucky and it’s simply ok. That was not the case with
“Beyond the Wall of Sleep”. I found this DVD at Scarecrow Video, a video store
in Seattle that carries hard to find movies as well as the typical mainstream
favorites. “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” is perhaps one of the worst movies I’ve
ever tried to watch. I say try because I was unable to finish this. This
particular piece of work feels like it was the first assignment of an A/V
class…in high school. The acting is ridiculous, the script is worthless, but
the most painful aspect of this is the editing and filming. Not even the
presence of Tom Savani in a supporting role as the town sheriff brought any joy
or entertainment to this disaster. Save yourself your time and money and skip
this movie; Lovecraft would be proud of you.
