Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
paulclaassen A good plot, but it somehow feels the film is missing crucial information. It would have been far more effective had they shown the accident scene, instead of just showing it in flash backs. Although the film is very atmospheric, there are very little scares. Some rather effective visual effects. A very good message is being conveyed here, though.
SlinkyLoki1967 I enjoyed this movie a great deal, though I will be the first to admit there are plot holes and inconsistencies. The movie did not always follow their own rules in regards to how spirits act, and it was frustrating at one point towards the end of the movie. However, I enjoyed the story element of the movie, and enjoyed that there was a general vibe of sadness and creepiness, and not as many jump scare moments. Personally I prefer that type of experience from a horror movie, and was happy to have watched this movie.
hoxjennifer I agree with another review I read here - that this is more tragedy than horror. If you judge this as a horror movie, then yes, it's not that scary. It has the occasional jump scares here and there and the occasional creepy looking ghost/spirit woman but other than that, it's not scary. But it is tragic, and if you look at the story-line, it's very relatable.A mother loses her child in a car accident and blames herself for it. She learns of an ancient ritual to contact him, locking herself up in an old temple to do so. She is warned not to open the door at any time, no matter what she hears. But of course, in her desperation to see her lost son, she does open the door. This is about coping with a loss and the consequences that come from playing with the other world. It's not a brand new and novel idea, but the way it is portrayed is quite convincing. It's in a beautiful backdrop of a remote part of India as well, which gives the film an ethereal kind of feeling.8/10, honestly for me.
2fresh 2clean "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.
