Thumbs up World Beyond

I also looked back at "World Beyond," a made for TV horror film that originally aired back in January 1978. It is about a man who was temporarily killed in a motorcycle accident before being brought back to life by the machines in the hospital, only to have gained the ability to have the dead contact him for help when needed. In his case, he had a the ghost of a recently killed man telling him to go to Logan's Island to save his sister from a golem or mud monster he had created to have the experiment go wrong and out of control. The golem or mud monster is a strong and smart creature who knows how to trap people on the island and strong enough to pull boats out of the water, punch holes in their bottoms to where they can not travel anymore, also knowing to avoid its weaknesses and what could harm it. There is a scene where they are able to dislocate the mud monster's hand when it tries to get into the house before slamming the door on it, only to have the dislocated hand come to life, along with a funny scene when the main character goes down the cellar stairs, looking for the dislocated hand, only to have the hand waiting in the shadows on one of the steps, grabbing his ankle, making him fall down the stairs. It is overall some scary stuff, especially for a made for TV movie on a limited budget. I would rate this one up with the original Trilogy Of Terror, Dark Night Of The Scarecrow, Don't Go In The House, and the like.
