Among the
movies showing in town that can be broadly categorized as thrillers, two represent murder and
mayhem with particular enthusiasm: the neatly constructed Funny Games, a home - invasion fable playing at Facets Multimedia Center for one week, and the erratic effects vehicle The Beyond, a supernatural horror rerelease screening
midnight Friday and Saturday at the Music Box.
Cosmatos gives him plenty of opportunities in this hypnotic
midnight movie, which veers from astonishing, expressionistic exchanges to gory
mayhem without an iota of compromise.
