Journey Into the Beyond (1975)

A classic shockumentary in the style of Mondo Kane. Journey Into The Beyond was directed by Rolf Olsen, a journeyman director whose work includes everything from violent action movies, sexploitation epics and even children's films. An investigation into the fringes of psychic spirituality with so-called real experts, it includes (fake) demonic posession, exorcisms, seances, Voodoo ceremonies, hypnotism, ESP, psychic surgery, and more! This version came with a warning bell to alert viewers of the more vomitous scenes, and when it was shown at a Spanish horror film festival in 1978 it had mass walkouts and numerous retchings. Olsen also directed Shocking Asia and its sequel under pseudonyms. The lesser Shocking Asia 2 shares some footage with this movie. Narrated by the legendary John Carridine!
