The Evil Next Door

Loved this movie! I was totally creeped out with the idea of this movie being based off of true events. I thought the acting was good as well as the horror scenes. There has been some crappy movies these days but this was pretty solid.

"Andra sidan" is a pretty basic haunted house horror movie with good fundamentals.

Dilan Gwyn does a great job as the lead role, she and the rest of the actors creates a trustworthy and believable environment.

The sound is the movie's greatest strength, but the story and character development is it's weakest. You see the characters interact with eachother but they rarely develop any character traits that are relevant to the story.

This is definitely a 7 for me since the sound, actors and picture keeps you at the edge of your seat through out the movie and I certainly hope that this is just the beginning for Swedish horror!

I think they just gathered actors in a room and said: "You've seen horror movies, right? So let's film a horror. We don't have a script, though, but you'll figure something out"

I would not even call it a movie, it's just a compilation of familiar scenes from other horrors, without any logical connection.

Even jumpscares don't work, they are either cut too early, or ruined by PlayStation 2 graphics.

You don't really expect well-written characters or logic from a horror, but you expect something. Just give me some vague explanation about "evil" possessing the house and make all the characters dumb, that's good enough for me, but in this movie things just happen. Actions and knowledge of the characters don't affect anything.

It is hard to explain, but this movie feels like something generated by a neural network. It feels familiar, and you can recognize some parts, but it just doesn't make any sense in general

"Inspired by real events." Nothing was stated as to what the "real" was. Maybe it's just people living in a house is the "inspired". Very formula & seen before copied from other similar horror scripts. Lone female going down into a dark basement; child seen being dragged into a room; doors open & close on their own; screams; years later new victims move into the house - repeat. The usual child sees & plays with new "friend", and draws strange image. The usual strange sounds. The usual dad's away, and doesn't believe his wife who then makes dumb mistakes. The usual computer search of house backstory.

This was a fun watch, it wasn't scary necessarily but decently creepy. I'm usually not a fan of films in a foreign language, just don't like reading subtitles, but I was hooked from beginning to end with this.
