The Other Side

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.

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!!

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.

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!

Saw this screening at the HorrorHoundWeekend film festival. The main character was the best part, and he won Best Actor award for the festival which was appropriate. The rest of the cast was very mediocre at best. Maybe the parole officer was decent, but way too much bad acting or overacting for me.

The music was distracting, often too loud or just inappropriate for the scene, then cut off abruptly. Transitions from scene to scene were sometimes weak, too. The zombies were fast, which is fine since zombies are fictional and there are fast and slow zombie movies. They weren't too "zombified", but this is an indie film so that was fine.

Overall I was disappointed, but I did really like the twist at the end. That made up for a lot of the other failures of the movie. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but there was some good acting and the twist was fun, so if you like indie zombie movies you might enjoy.
