The Other Side of Darkness

Tricked to watch it by the high imdb rating 9, now falling to 4.6.

It is a story about love and family reunion of a teenage girl. Don't it to be a diaster or consipiracy movie.

Another pumped up 10 that is really a 2.

It is a dead giveaway when there are so many 10's you just know it is really a bad movie.

In most cases these days I won't even watch these inflated up voted - by participants in the making of the movie.

There is not a movie in the world that rates a 10.

Obviously those who have a stake in the film wanted to prop the film up but hey, if you're going to do that, at least make the scoring realistic.

Best to take an average of the real reviews.. it was dull but the movie did have a good premise. A lot more could be done but I feel there wasn't enough professionalism behind the production.

I see some of these reviews on here and they actually make me a little angry. This is an Indie film, and it towers above a lot of Indie films out there. The camera work, the drone shots, and the cinematography is beautiful! The sound engineering is almost flawless and as the film progresses, the film gets better and better and better. Sometimes, when you make a film that looks so professional, people mistake you for a studio film. Sometimes, people just don't get it. 8/10 for me, I can see the quality in the film!

To answer my question in the title of this review, no, no it isn't.

One of my fellow reviewers who scored this film an 8/10 tried to spell the word 'cinematography' and failed spectacularly at it, which kind of works as an analogy for this film. It tries, but it fails, hard.

I'm not going to say much more about it, watch the trailer and that's the quality of movie you're getting. A poorly written and shot budget adventure with some bad acting thrown in for good measure. I was never engaged in the story or characters, nothing felt real.

Good on them for having a go, I respect their attempt, I'm only writing this review because I hate fake misleading reviews on indie films and someone needs to tell the truth.
