Italo Cult Shockers No. 22 Beyond the Door Original title: Chi sei? 1974 Directors Ovidio G. Assonitis, Roberto D'Ettorre Piazzoli "Beyond the door, step inside if you dare!" Warner Brothers sued the Italian production company behind Beyond the Door (1974) for what they considered to be a blatant rip-off of The Exorcist (1973). The case was settled in Warner Brothers' favor with the Italians forced to pay an undisclosed fee. Mario Bava's Shock (1977) originally went by the title "Beyond the Door II" but had nothing to do with this film and was so named to cash in on the success of the original. The same is true of Beyond the Door III (1989) . . #beyondthedoor #thedevilwithinher #italianhorror #theexorcistripoff #chisei #70shorror #70scinema #italiancinema #italocultshockers
