Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers had formerly been students at Ohio State University. In an effort to save funds and get the movie made, they talked the professor into letting his current students crew the film as part of a class project, which also provided them with access to locations on the campus. Post-production was done elsewhere to ensure the school couldn't attempt to claim ownership of the film.
- GoofsA moment before Eric throws Ben out of the house, a boom mic dips into the frame.
- Crazy creditsBeyond Dream's Door is a work of fiction and bears no similarities to real characters or events in your world at any point in the past, future or anywhere in between.
- Alternate versionsWhen the film was released on DVD in 2006 it was a director's cut with a new 5.1 sound mix. This version runs shorter than the original VHS release. The VHS version includes a scene with Julie in a phone booth, seemingly frustrated not being able to get a call through and hanging up the phone. The director's cut restores the original scene, in which she had a conversation with Eric. Later in the VHS version, Eric had a lengthy dream sequence that was removed from the director's cut. This was actually the unrelated short film Come to Me Softly (1988), which had been inserted into the movie to pad the running time at the behest of the distributor. The short was included as DVD and Blu-Ray extra, plus the director uploaded it to his YouTube channel.

Featured review
I love seeing low-budget and NO-budget films rise above their limitations to succeed in becoming something more than merely watchable. "BEYOND DREAM'S DOOR" is such a film, presenting an intelligent and engaging story with resourcefulness and creativity. Sure, some of the effects are on the hokey side(but wonderfully gross), and the acting is expectedly amateurish...big deal. Don't let forgivable flaws hold you back from enjoying this wild, surreal tale of a young man being haunted...and hunted...by his childhood nightmares, both in sleep and awake. He's neither the first, nor the last to endure this torment...he's simply "next".
Seven out of ten stars...a shining example of just how far enthusiastic, imaginative filmmakers can stretch a thin dime.
