Beyond the Door III, also known as Amok Train and Death Train, is a 1989 Italian horror film directed by Jeff Kwitny. This third and final film into the Beyond the Door trilogy, like its predecessor Beyond the Door II, is a sequel in-name-alone.
A shy co-ed and her classmates travel to Europe to see a ritual. With a satanist/professor with them, he lures them into deadly traps to become sacrifices to Satan. One co-ed is a virgin, the main key to bring Satan back to life. But can the co-ed lose her virginity before Satan controls the world?
Plot
The film follows a group of American students to Yugoslavia. They meet up with their professor, Andromolek (Bo Svenson), to bear witness to a sacred pagan ritual. When they realize that theyre the ones to be sacrificed, they run for their lives and escape by hopping a train. However, the train is possessed and is determined to reunite the young people with their horrifying fates. The evil train thirsts for blood and soon the students begin dying horrible, gruesome deaths. One girl, however, seems marked for an eternity as Satans bride. With their means of escape turned against them, they must find a way off the train.
Production
Ovidio G. Assonitis, who produced the original Beyond the Door, shot the film in Serbia. According to Ovidio, it was not intended to be called "Beyond the Door III" as the original working title was simply "The Train." The distributors retitled the film to make a connection to the success of the previous films.
