IMDb profile

Buio Omega, AKA Beyond the Darkness, is a horror/exploitation film directed by Joe D'Amato, and released in 1979. Although D'Amato had directed several Horror films in the past, Buio Omega is the first of those films to focus more on the horrorific elements and less on the erotic. He had been known to do this in his Emanuelle films, which featured actress Laura Gemser. D'Amato continued this focus on the horrorific in 1980 with his film Antropophagus.
