'Journey into the Beyond' is a documentary that shows you the world of voodoo, ritual sacrifice, an all sorts of other crazy stuff. It reminds me of those old movies, 'Faces of Death.' That series just showed people dying in different ways through home footage, some or most of which was fake. These were crucial for curious people back in the day. Where could you really see a voodoo sacrifice, or someone die? It was hard to find. Now you have Youtube.
Let's face it, these types of movies are just Youtube videos now. If you want to find a poorly edited documentary about literally anything, just log onto Youtube. They must have dozens of voodoo sacrifices and witchcraft videos. You can look them up in between makeup tutorials. You have to work on your smokey eye after all.
