ADDITION: Cauldron Films Blu-ray (July 2021): Cauldron Films have transferred Tomás Aznar's Beyond Terror to Blu-ray. It is cited as being from a "4K restoration from the original negative". It looks fairly modest but vastly superior to the available bootlegs that have circled around. It's inherently soft, even a bit waxy at times but there is some heavy grain and the overall visuals are consistent. It can have a pastel cast over it. This is probably the best this less-seen film will look in this format. It's certainly more than watchable.

On their Blu-ray, Cauldron Films use a linear PCM 2.0 channel track (16-bit) in the original Spanish language. It is about the level of the video; imperfect but highly serviceable. Again, a function of the source. There is minor music, although no official score -  a church bell, heart beats effects, gurgling creatures and a few piercing screams. . Cauldron Films offer optional English subtitles on their Region FREE Blu-ray.

The Cauldron Films Blu-ray offers a new commentary by Kat Ellinger. She discusses why Beyond Terror has been so under-seen - the distribution problems - only being available in bad bootlegs. She talks about the dialogue - the frequent swearing, the Satanist angle, the harshness of the characters. She covers a lot of this genre in Spain and the era, the effects, Beyond Terror as a biker-zombie film and much more. It's excellent. There is also an image gallery and the package has reversible cover with original Spanish title and poster art.

While I enjoyed Cauldron's simultaneously released The Crimes of the Black Cat Blu-ray more, Beyond Terror has some unusually appealing genre qualities and a scene or two reminiscent of David Cronenberg's Scanners. It's quite a harsh film with gratuitous social violence and revenge shifting to a creepy horror. The Cauldron Films Blu-ray. has the best a/v of the film we are likely to get (the best its has ever looked on digital, by a wide margin) and the invaluable Ellinger commentary. Fans keen on Euro-cult cinema may wish to pick up this 'hard to see' curiosity. Pretty wild and not everyone's cup-of-tea. I'm very intrigued by Cauldron Films and hope they continue to expose and transfer these less-discussed genre films onto Blu-ray.
