The Other Side

An excellent zombie movie, for intelligent viewers who like The Walking Dead, 28 Days Later, etc. In other words, zombie movies that recognize that human interaction make (or break) the movie.

Watched it on a lark for free on a popular media channel when I saw it got 2.5 out of 5 stars. The '1' & '2' star reviews here are so ludicrous I can only imagine they are trolls and rivals of the producers of this fine, fine, film.

So recently my husband and I signed up for Amazon Prime and that's how we found this movie.

It was quite possibly one of the WORST things I've ever seen. I'm not much of a horror fan, but my husband is a HUGE one so we settled on this for a Friday night.

I made it about 30 minutes in before I threw in the towel. The acting (if you can call it that) is atrocious. I mean not even one single redeemable quality in the cast. I certainly hope they all have something to fall back on because the profession of acting is not for them.

On top of the stiff acting (I'm not convinced they weren't reading their lines from a cue card) there was a horrible soundtrack. It was loud and oppressive and really took me out of any chance of engaging with this movie.

My husband finished it but I couldn't. I did walk in the room as the credits were rolling and he was fast asleep. It was just a horrible disappointment for us both.

How do you stay in budget? Ask the director of this film. Get your cast from the county players, film your zombie attacks in the dark, show their feet... This is the second movie I've seen today where the teenage daughter plays her character like a pre-schooler.

I had the pleasure of seeing this over the weekend and must say if you can see one movie this Halloween season I highly recommend seeing "The Other Side." From start to finish the movie keeps you on your toes, and it is not what you would typically expect from a zombie movie. Great plot, lots of action, and plenty of surprises to keep you engaged throughout the duration. Chad Conley and Rob Liscio's performances standout as "Chris" and "Joe" two of the lead characters who you will find yourself pulling for during the film... I'm sure you will be seeing more of these two in the near future!! Great job Orchard Place Productions for creating a quality film with a great soundtrack and incredible cast!

This was, without a doubt the WORST thing I have ever watched. Some of this was filmed in our backyard (figuratively) so we thought SUPPORT LOCAL FILMMAKERS. Not if this is the drivel they produce I won't.

There is nothing redeemable. Nothing I can find to say good. Maybe something like "boy that tree stood there well!". I'm sorry but I can't find anything nice to say.

The cops were the worst though. Horrible acting. If any of these actors are in the union then I hope they can get their initiation dues back.

I'm honestly trying to find something good to say.

But I just can't. Save yourself the trauma and pass on this title.
