Beyond the Darkness (AKA Buio Omega) is a 1979 Horror film directed by Joe D'Amato. It consists of a very rich taxidermist named Frank who lives with his housekeeper Iris in an opulent villa. Frank loses his fiancee Anna due to which he goes insane, robs her grave and dresses her up in his villa. He also loses it further indulging in serial killing, cannibalism and (implied) necrophilia, all the while helped by his extremely creepy housekeeper, Iris who due to some voodoo killed Anna to get Frank for herself. Ultimately, Anna's twin sister, Elena visits the villa and all hell breaks loose...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Widely regarded as D'Amato's finest (read "least hack-ish") effort with focus on characters and some genuine suspense apart from some truly disgusting gore and a relentlessly downbeat tone.

Ax-Crazy: Frank and Iris. Iris is the most obvious one.

B-Movie: The beautiful cinematography and clever set design might fool you into thinking that this is a reasonably big budget movie but this is not.

Big Bad: Iris kickstarts the plot with her voodoo killing of Anna. She later becomes a Dragon-in-Chief of sorts to Frank who becomes the major villain. Ultimately it becomes an Evil vs. Evil fight towards the end.

Creepy Housekeeper: Doesn't get much creepier than Iris, what with her less-than-healthy interest in Frank and aiding and abetting him as he descends further into murderous madness and depravity. Not to mention murdering his fiancée, which kickstarted the whole gory mess, because she wanted him for herself.
