The Other Side

Here we have your average campy horror movie: some bad acting, a zombie / "real biblical judgement type s**t" (to quote the movie) cliché, some over-the-top gore, and corny rock/techno that's badly cued and played for far too long. Some people cry way too much (Beware of Aunt Natalie--you may want to mute the scenes she's in) and some people yell the oddest things in situations that they wouldn't yell them in.

A majority of plot devices are rehashed and recycled from just about every movie ever made, but what made up for the poorly executed writing and dialogue was the interesting twist at the end. It was definitely not what I was expecting and in that regard I give the writers a bit of credit for being somewhat innovative; it also let me feel like watching the entire movie wasn't a COMPLETE waste of time. It was actually somewhat satisfying.

I wouldn't say go out of your way to watch it unless you've seen everything else in the horror genre on Prime and are running out of options. It's definitely not the worst movie I've seen (I think that esteemed position belongs to "A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell"), and you might get a chuckle at the campiness of it all. Worth a view if you're bored or have no other flicks to see!

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.

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.

The Flashback scenes add depth to the drama, explaining how things were before in snapshots of each character's life. The Movie's twist on which side of the afterlife you're on, makes you realize there's good in bad and Vice-A-Versa. Who's Team Are You ON!!!BTW Local Production and Low Budget does not mean the story wasn't well conceived and directed in a professional manner. Yes, some of the actors are not Hollywood caliber, but this adds an unique charm to the Movie and to some degree a sense of Humor about Zombie Movies. They (the director and producer) even make a point in presenting some added humor at the end to illustrate this. Since I've seen the Movie twice I can appreciate more of the subtleties that Lie Within.. ENJOY!!
