EXTR3MIST tries to put his finger on what you can't really put your finger on in my view.

It's like if you don't like or get horror films in general.
People that hate horror say basically the same things about the whole genre (ESPECIALLY the lower budget, more unusual end) that have been said about just one film, "The Beyond", on here.

And on the surface what they say is true...like the spiders.

But to those who do like and 'get' these films that 'truth' simply does not matter as what's more important is the way the film is handled, what it sets out to do and how well it does it.
Given the fantasy situation we simply don't give a damn about 'logic' behind the spiders....how the scene with the spiders is done is all that matters.

It's a 'fantatsy' that seems to being accused of being TOO fantastical because some viewers are saying THEY need more logic.
But not all of us do. THAT is not a fault of the film, it's something purely down to each individual viewer.
And those that ARE happy with it don't want it any different.

But you won't change the minds of people who do dislike such films for such reasons,as on a basic level they are right....you either get stuff like "The Beyond" or you don't.
Simple as that as far as i can see.

On every basic level an Andy Milligan film is awful and as far as almost every 'normal' film goes there is no 'logic' behind liking it.
But i would have ANY Andy Milligan trash fest before ANY passionless, souless, empty movie like "I Know what you did Last Summer".
Yet if someone says THE TRUTH about it being better made on EVERY SINGLE LEVEL I would agree...but it makes no difference.

And those that don't get that will never get it as their reasons for disliking the Milligan film are basically the truth on the surface.
