Interesting facts

Beyond the Door III is a 1989 Italian supernatural horror film directed by Jeff Kwitny, and starring Mary Kohnert and Bo Svenson. It follows a young American coed who, while traveling on a train during a class trip in Yugoslavia, is targeted by a Satanic cult. It is the final film in the Beyond the Door trilogy, a series of unrelated films linked by a common title for marketing purposes. It was released twelve years after the second film in the trilogy, Beyond the Door II.

Production

After producing The Curse, Ovidio G. Assonitis and his company TriHoof Investments began production on two more films, with the working titles The Bite and The Train. The screenplay for The Train was written by Shelia Goldberg, who wanted to do a horror version of Runaway Train. Assonitis hired Jeff Kwitny to direct, based on Kwitny's previous film, Iced (1988).

The film was shot in and around Belgrade, Serbia, with principal photography beginning on 6 February 1989. The filming was done at a fast pace, and the cast and crew often put in 18-hour days. Because of the instability in the country, some of the labourers on the crew were paid as little as one dollar a day. Shooting with a real steam engine on an active railway line took almost three weeks.

The special effects of the gory deaths and the train leaving the rails were shot in Rome by a separate unit headed up by Angelo Mattei. Kwitny was not present for the effects shooting, and has expressed disappointment in their execution: "The effects in that movie, and the train model, are just atrocious".
