The rookie journalist Vivian seeks Frederick, the caretaker of the oldest cemetery in an undefined country, asking for an interview and the old man tells the story of two "costumers" and both connected by a mysterious secret. The powerful gangster Jimmie Levinson accuses his former partner Paul Pattuchi of stealing a load of cocaine and orders to kill his beloved girlfriend Clarice. Paul is found dead later in a cottage, and Jimmie and his friends and girlfriends are visited during a dinner party by Robert Downing first and then by the sadistic Mortimer and his partner Rick seeking the truth about Paul and a suitcase with a mysterious relic. The second story takes place in the Middle Ages, where the cruel David Deming and his minion Tom Brewster chase the renegade priest James Flynn in the name of the Inquisition but actually trying to force him to reveal the secret of the Eternal Heart to grant immortality.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Ogrishel "Beyond the Limits" was a big surprise for me since I am very disappointed in the latest movies concerning the special effects because I hate those cartoon-like computer effects. Olaf Ittenbach is absolutely fabulous as the gore master from Germany because he likes to do the FX the classic way without the help of computer animation.The movie is composed of two "Tales from the Crypt"-like stories and the main subject is the trip of the "eternal heart" through time, from the alchemistic Middle Age to present days, causing a gore marathon on its way.The main characters are sadistic psychos who really enjoy to torture and kill their victims in the most gory way someone could imagine. The acting is quite good and impressive for this kind of movie because it makes you really feel the terror and pain of the victims.This is not a scary movie, it's just a very well done splatter horror from Europe, much better then many Hollywood movies of the genre.I give it a 10 out of 10 because Olaf Ittenbach rules!

jmbwithcats First understand this movie is a slasher gore fest. Blood for the sake of blood. made to be very camp, badly dialogued, and really bloody. But, the movie redeems itself in a several important ways. It keeps the attention, the story is kind of fun, and the effects are great, as well as original. The film is not linear which is refreshing as well, and credit must be given to the director Directed by Olaf Ittenbach and writer Thomas Reitmair A feel of the Dark Ages permeates the entirety of the film's course, showing the savagery of the times, without a lot of recourse for the feint at heart.Yes, the acting in this movie is by far the worst acting I've ever seen in my entire life. Lines read with out inflection, tone, feeling, or believability of character. The editing is very bad, and sadly rushed.The effects are terrific though, and the plausibility of the storyline is kind of fun, leaving just enough mystery to keep the attention of the viewer. See, in movies like these, generally they give too much away right at the start, which shows bad scripting and bad directing, thankfully this movie manages to circumvent those two major obstacles.This movie verges on the realm of extreme Japanese horror without being Japanese. Reminiscent of Movies like Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Ichi the Killer. Although Ichi the Killer has something this movie does not, and that is the charisma of good acting.The ending is pretty good, and I found my interest kept right until the end simply because the actors who are decent, draw you in, and the effects are really cool in the end. Overall I rate it a 6.5 It could have been better, what with the acting, and editing, and some cohesion problems, but thats okay. There is much worse. This movie is not for the feint of heart.
ICU_CaTiNtHeHaT This movie is really intense, shocking and violent as hell, This is the goriest, bloodiest movie i have ever seen, All the violence was intense and kind of made me sick to my stomach. If you enjoy splatter/gorey & bloody movies, watch this movie.
