It made sense that everyone was cashing in on the success of The Exorcist at the time, but none of them really knew what made that film so effective in the first place. Everyone assumed it was all the head spinning and green vomit, so most of the rip offs added more of that and dropped the more thoughtful and character driven aspects of that film.
Beyond the Door is one of these films that ups all the gross out elements, but forgets to have characters that are engaging. It also adds elements of Rosemary's Baby into the mix as we see our leading lady (Juliet Mills) feeling a Satanic cult and becoming pregnant with Satan's child. Pretty soon, she's leviating, rolling her head around, and oozing green gore out of her mouth.
The script is so nonsensical that you can't help but treat it as camp. Sometimes entertaining camp, but no one is going to be able to take this movie seriously. It's worth a watch just to see how ridiculous one movie can get.
