Name: Beyond the Seventh Door
Genre: Horror
Duration: 1 h 17 min
Rating: 4.7
Cast: Lazar Rockwood, Bonnie Beck, Gary Freedman

It brought many a tear to my eye to see such a magical performance. Boris, portrayed by Hollywood heartthrob Lazar Rockwood, is perhaps the finest crafted, written and performed character in film history. You completely forget about Lazar's natural good looks, charm and intelligence and only see what he wants you to see, Boris, a second rate thief with a possible drug addiction and severe mental illness. Sometimes you think he's epileptic, sometimes autistic and other times it seems like he was just pulled out of the gutter, given a pack a smokes and told to stand in front of a camera. Lazar's performance was so flawless that during the sex scene in the grungy sewer/basement, I actually felt ill to my stomach, as I'm sure Lazar and the Director intended. I still get a little woozy just thinking about it, truly unbelievable stuff.

1987 - Paul Newman won best actor for Color of Money and best picture went to Platoon. Lazar and Beyond the 7th Door didn't even receive a nomination.

If nothing else the makeup crew should have received a nod for creating a believable "Boris" out of hansom leading man Rockwood. 

Keep the faith Lazar, don't get discouraged, performances like this will eventually be recognized for what they are - pure brilliance.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

After meeting up with his ex-lover Wendy, an ex-convict and thief named Boris gets persuaded to do one more heist. He is supposed to help Wendy rob her paraplegic, millionaire boss Lord Breston, for whom she has been working as a housemaid. But things turn out to be much more complicated than expected, in this exciting horror thriller with a twist ending.
