The Worst Film Ever
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I just watched this movie with my wife and we enjoyed it. my wife says it's a bit too scary for her. :) Loved the setting of India. It creates a more mysterious story due to the place being foreign. The special effects were great and the movie kept me interested start to finish. So creepy when oliver took over lucy's body and stabbed the father. This horror film deserves no less than a 7 rating in my opinion, so to counter so much unfair criticism I decided to give this an 8!
I've found the movie to be a very poor attempt at horror. Not because of acting or effects but the scenario the movie suggests. -SPOILERS AHEAD-So to quickly sum up the story, a mother is tormented by the loss of her son in a tragic(?) car accident. She was driving the car, had to chose between one of her two children, chose the daughter and now guilt and sorrow are eating away at her. She attempts suicide because the loss in unbearable, learns of a ritual to have contact with her son for one last goodbye and is given an extremely simple set of instructions to follow for said ritual, which of course she doesn't follow. Evil is unleashed, bad things happen to her family and the movie ends with the "some things should be left undisturbed" morale hanging in the air. -SPOILERS END-The mother is so laughably unstable and unlikable (again, this is a writing issue, not a cast or acting issue), that i felt really bad she didn't actually take her own life. The movie is plagued by the classical clichés of all horror movies, from contrived reasons to do things to nonsensical or illogical behavior on the part of the characters. DO NOT RECOMMEND 3/10TLDR: You're better off wasting your time on something better.
I remember going to the movie theater to watch "The Sixth Sense" by M. Night Shyamalan. I was not expecting a lot, no bias since I had not read any review and I was the first among my friends and family to watch it, so really good to be total unaware in a movie like that. Looking back, it is unbelievable that just turned the calendar to 2017. 2017!!! So, The Sixth Sense is almost reaching "the legal age". It is actually 18 in my country! And absolutely I have not watched a better movie of this genre ever since. Some horror movies are actually gore. Others are so cliché it is not worthy watching 5 minutes.This movie was so poorly made I can't understand that happens. It looks like some kid wrote it. They exaggerated in many of the scenes just pure nonsense and nothing adding up a good ghost story, it is even hard to rate this and be simple but I will try: "It is a bad horror movie". Just bad! Five is already a good rate for this. I am happy I saw it on TV and not in the theater.
"The Other Side of the Door" is one of those horror films that had so much potential but fell a little flat. The story is about a wife who loses her son in a horrific car accident but then finds a way to say her last goodbyes after he is gone but she doesn't follow the rules of what has to be done to say her last goodbyes, so as a result strange things start happening. Great idea but the film could have been written better, not saying this film was totally bad, it just could have been written a little better. Instead of being more of a horror film, maybe this film was more about a wife who is struggling in her marriage because of the loss of her child because a lot of that was expressed in this film. With that being said, the horror side of this film wasn't all that scary. The jump out of your seat scenes isn't really going to make you jump out of your seat and the ghost scenes were nice but they weren't really scary, but I've seen a whole lot worse. If you watch this film you won't be disappointed, just don't expect a night of sleeping with the lights on.
