Lucio Fulci’s 1981 film “The Beyond” was announced as the first remake from a strategic partnership between Hangtime International Pictures and Severin Films, which aims to “secure remake rights to genre films for theatrical, streaming and physical media,” per a press release.

“The Beyond” is the first of several planned remakes over the next two years from the partnership.

“The impetus for this partnership was our shared commitment to fans of the genre and our desire to deliver for new horror audiences,” Frank Murray, the co-CEO of Hangtime, said in a statement. “This is a rare opportunity for an established director to reimagine ‘The Beyond,’ contemporize it as a classic of experiential horror and further the ever-growing cultural significance of Fulci’s work. We also love the built-in sequel opportunity afforded us by Fulci’s Gates of Hell universe.”

I guess if anyone was going to remake this movie, Severin would be a good choice, but I still hate this. The Beyond is one of my favorite movies and I just can't imagine a remake doing it justice.
