Reviews
A Wild Cosmic Horror Ride with Great Effectsv
"Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep is an ambitious indie horror film that embraces cosmic horror with enthusiasm. It’s a wild ride, blending surreal imagery, psychological tension, and Lovecraftian ideas into something that feels strange and unpredictable from beginning to end. The practical effects are one of the highlights. They add a tangible, old-school charm that fits the film’s independent spirit and help create some genuinely memorable moments without relying too heavily on CGI. The slipcover is another standout. The artwork captures the eerie, otherworldly tone perfectly, and the sturdy construction gives the release great shelf presence. It’s a nice bonus that complements the film rather than simply serving as packaging. Overall, this is a fun, imaginative horror release that will appeal to fans of cosmic horror and boutique collector editions."

More Chad Ferrin Lovecraft insanity!
"If you enjoyed any of the other films made by Chad Ferrin, then you will find plenty to love about this one!"
— Thomas P. (5/5)
What a weird adaptation of
"What a weird adaptation of an H. P. Lovecraft story. I was like WTF in a good way. What a cast Edward Furlong and Ginger Lynne with Steve Railsback as the cherry on top. The effects were practical with latex monsters which I really appreciated. Had a fun ride with this one."
— Bryan K. (5/5)
Unspeakable
"I really enjoyed this one for the practical effects and it also doesn’t hurt it had Edward Furlong in it. It’s a decent horror movie and if you grew up with Edward Furlong in movies like T2 and Pet Semetary 2 I think you’ll enjoy this one. Packaging and presentation are great!"
— Matt R. (5/5)
Another crazy one
"Apparently a sequel to another movie I've never seen. I'd watch Bai Ling in anything. I met her a year ago and she's awesome as you'd expect. Great cast. Mixes zombies with Lovecraft. Lots of movies lately with guys with giant dildos or prosthetics running around. Admittedly, that's pretty scary, but how many of these do we need? At least the third movie with someone biting a penis off I've seen in the last few months. Horror's getting weird. Cast earns it five stars anyway. Oddly generic slipcover. Not even sure who that is on the back."

Gotta love Dark Star
"Another super Dark Star release, and this one features Edward Furlong. Instant buy, no regrets!"

Okay
"I'd heard Edward Furlong was in a recent movie and then I saw it was a Chad Ferrin movie, so I had to give it a watch. Not that his films are great, because they're rarely better than average, but they generally are interesting to watch. This film isn't actually all that good, but it's not the fault of the cast. Furlong is perfectly fine in his role and it's good to see him acting again. Susan Priver is brilliant (as she always is) and it'd be great to see her in some non-Ferrin films. The rest of the cast are the usual regulars. It must be great fun making movies with Chad, as they always seem keen to return and work with him again. This isn't a great film and the director seems to be working less with practical effects and more with CGI these days, which is not a good sign. If you took all the good stuff from his films and cut away all the rubbish, you'd have something quite wonderful. Unfortunately however there is no filter, so you get a load of rubbish thrown in with the good stuff. I'm convinced he could make something brilliant, but he'd need a decent producer or someone like that for guidance. I could probably only recommend this to those curious to see Furlong acting again and to Chad Ferrin fans."
