“One of the strangest movies I've ever seen.”-- Joe Bob Briggs Filled with miraculous monster effects and hallucinatory visions, BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR is the most accomplished horror film that ever escaped from Ohio. Ben hasn't been sleeping well. His dreams are filled with monsters and death. Seeking out answers, Ben pursues the hidden meanings of his nightmares. As the dreams grow increasingly lifelike, Ben fears that he's losing his grip on sanity, especially as those around him start turning up dead. Continuing the lineage of everything from THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI to A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, this ambitious debut feature from filmmaker Jay Woelfel skillfully blends elements of surrealism, mystery, and grotesque and violent horror set-pieces. Originally relegated direct-to-video and extremely hard to find (until now), we are thrilled to be screening this new uncut restoration from 2021, which was painstakingly reconstructed shot by shot from the original, unedited 16mm camera negative by Vinegar Syndrome. **dir.
