Beyond the Door is a procession movie of a pregnant woman who may or may not be giving birth to a devilish being. It was made in 1974 and it's evident that it was riding the wake of the Exorcist.
A rip-off of "The Exorcist"? Sure.
Juliet Mills is "the one that got away". Beelzebub, angered at Richard Johnson(THE HAUNTING; ZOMBIE II)for allowing her to flee during a sacrificial ceremony to the Lord of Darkness, gives him ten days to find her.
Oy vey, what a doozy we have here. "Beyond the Door" (also known as "Chi sei" and "The Devil Within Her") has Juliet Mills as a San Francisco woman who becomes pregnant with a Devil child, which puts a hamper on her otherwise bourgeois West coast existence.
This movie came out in 1974, a year after The Exorcist exploded in theatres. The resounding effects of The Exorcist's success are very apparent in this movie.
Despite some corny moments (which include narration by The Devil himself), BEYOND THE DOOR boasts several very effective sequences. In one, which has to be a double exposure, we see Juliet Mills on her back, in bed, staring up at the ceiling.
(Credit IMDb) Juliet Mills plays a young pregnant woman in San Francisco who is going to have the devil's baby during her strange possession. Richard Johnson shows up to help her...
