“Beyond Hell” (** out of four) was a tolerable horror thriller about a young girl (Kearsten Johannson) who tries a powerful new drug called Changa and is transported to a dimension of Hell in which an evil creature (Gavin R. Downes) latches onto her and then begins killing her friends one by one. Better-than-most of its dreckish ilk, with decent filmmaking and sturdy pacing, but it falls apart into cheesy silliness in its second half. A book series is simultaneously being released along with the film for hardcore fans.
