I'm gonna warn you now. This film is hard to follow. There are many different elements that make up this movie. Well, onto the review...
This film comes at us from the home of the 2014 World Cup, Brazil. Beyond The Grave takes place DURING The Zombie Apocalypse. But, the main theme isn't zombies. The film follows a cop who is trying to stop a demon from killing off the remaining people on the planet. During their battles, the demon jumps from person to person each time the host body is fatally injured. Makes me wonder if the demon could jump into a zombie, or did the demon start the Zombie Apocalypse? The demon apparently was a cowboy in the Wild West. Each host body wears the same hat, coat, and... gas mask.
During the cop's travels chasing down The Dark Rider (the demon), he encounters a group of people doing their best to survive. The way they banded together and took care of each other kind of reminded me of Hershel's family from The Walking Dead. Oh, the cop also saw a few zombies from time to time. What makes this film unique zombie-wise is that eating wasn't always important to them. That part of the story, I wasn't a fan of. There was a scene where one zombie fed another zombie that must've been too crippled to feed itself. I thought that was pretty cool.
I would've liked to see more zombies. It would've been cool for The Dark Rider and the cop to have to fight off zombies while fighting each other.
I think i pretty much sorted this one out. On a scale of 1 to 10, this one gets a 4. Bottom line: This one needed more zombies.
