Beyond Dream's Door (Special Edition) Reviews:
Beyond Dream's Snore 
2008-11-11 - This will be brief. I heard about this movie from the pages of the original GOREZONE magazine from Starlog Press in about 1988 or so. I've been looking for it ever since. Now that I have it, I realize this is a movie only "die hard" indie/horror/gore fans will dig. If you're a collector of the obscure,
buy this at an affordable price. If you don't appreciate low-level production and hideous acting with questionable special F/X, you may want to pass on this one. If you _do_ appreaciate this type of stuff, it goes nicely alongside Cameron's Closet and similar fare.
well worth a look 
2006-10-10 - Yes,this film has it's limitations but it also has its strengths - considering that 99.9% of direct-to-video "movies" are total dreck,this stands as an interesting and fairly entertaining genre film (the fact it was shot on film counts for something!)
The pacing is a little slow,and yes it can be a bit confusing,but I feel that it was at least partially deliberate and not due to incompetence!
As it stands,I wouldn't suggest rushing out and aquiring at all costs,but it does remain an entertaining example of mid-to-late 80's direct to video film making that leaves me feeling (somewhat) nostalgic for pre-CGI cheap-o horror movies
taking the student film standpoint
2005-05-03 - yes, this movie is rather poor in editing and other aspects (acting especially). There are some interesting psychological aspects though, that I did find to be fascinating. Considering a lot of the low budget horror that is being released today, this movie at least has some depth and originality. I rated it off the lack of experience but good ideas angle for the students who did this project.
Close, but no Cigar! 
2003-09-19 - A respectable independent effort that just doesn't quite work. The dream concepts are interesting, confusing, as well as jarring at first. However the film is nowhere near coherent or well-constructed enough to maintain what could've been an interesting hook. Sell out and watch an Amenabar or Shamalon film instead-otherwise investing 90 minutes in this will just result in boredom and restless irritation.
