Beyond Lemuria 2007 Horror Movie Review

Beyond Lemuria is more than science fiction. It is a unique spiritual adventure presented in the format of a mystic initiation ritual. The story unfolds as a symbolic morality play involving two groups of people portrayed by the same actors but dedicated to different goals. The sinister ‘Draconians’ search for antedilulvian secrets of power in the lava caves north of Mt. Shasta while the spiritually minded ‘Lothinians’ seek enlightenment from the Ancient Masters on the slopes of America’s Holy Mountain—thus the dark depths and shining heights of human nature are explored against the awesome metaphore of Nature Herself.—— Based on true accounts of ‘Phylos’ the Atlantean who recovered his antediluvian magical heritage in a mysterious temple on the slopes of Mt. Shasta in 1866, and the terrifying subterranean world of the ‘Deros’ described by the late author and artist Richard S. Shaver in the 1940s. Beyond Lemuria is a remarkable film revealing truths that can only be presented in fictional form.——- Beyond Lemuria was filmed on location deep in the lava caves near Mt. Shasta, high upon the slopes of California’s Sacred Mountain, and in the jungle covered ruins of the ancient Lemurian lost city of Nan Madol in Micronesia.——- Beyond Lemuria features living Spiritual Masters taking the roles of Ancient Avatars channeled by the seekers of Light. There has never been a film quite like Beyond Lemuria. It will challenge your perceptions of reality and your conceptions of Heaven and Hell. It is an adventure in wonder and terror. ———Beyond Lemuria was created and written by anthropologist and documentary film maker Poke Runyon (The Magick of Solomon), Directed by Gregory Jednack (The Rites of Magick), filmed and edited by Mitch Lieding (The Rites of Magick) with special effects by Doug Carey.
