The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

Considering that a lot is happening with mysterious spacemen showing up, dead people who won't stay dead, secret agents and (I guess) the apocalypse, this movie is tedious and terrible. I got the impression it wanted to be something like Carpenter's Prince of Darkness but just without the skill or competence. And the whiniest, weakest female "top agent" the world has ever seen. That woman had me driving pencils into my brain. I was hoping for a strong female lead, not this screaming, crying mess. And, without a doubt, the WORLD'S WORST MUSICAL SCORE! Ear splittingly loud and mind-numbingly terrible. And obviously the writers thought that if you're confusing and pointless and make no sense you can fool dummies into thinking your movie is intelligent and clever. But I've seen intelligent and clever and it would be ashamed to be in the same room as this flick. Spare yourself. Put a pencil through your eyes and listen to cacophonous heavy metal music while watching paint dry; you'll have a much better time.

This movie was okay in a number of ways: the plot was actually somewhat interesting.

The acting and the dialogue were a bit bad at times, but also good at times - the female lead was generally good.

The few special effects were actually pretty good to support the plot line.

The camera work was low-budget at times. (I'm still trying to figure out - why do some shots look like "Cops"?)

Those things aside, the worst part of this movie was the absolutely inappropriate music / audio choices throughout. If this was just done better -- or even no music -- it would have been a 6 / 10 or maybe better.

The premise of the movie seemed interesting, the acting seemed credible however the movie as a whole just was missing something it is hard to explain. The regular and incidental music was the biggest problem. The music makes this movie terrible, at the beginning you get some Pink Floyd soundalike, so ok for a movie called the "Dark Side of the Moon" we get the joke. The rest of the movie there was this completely unnecessary LOUD music used at all the wrong scenes. The music in a movie is supposed to add suspense, drama, emotion, and help to coalesce the movie together. All of the incidental music was too loud, poorly mixed, and just the wrong kind. The music sounded similar to the royalty free music used in documentaries about 20 years ago, it was complete garbage. The musicians would be better off going back to their regular jobs at McDonalds.

I wanted to like this movie but the music made me turn it off halfway through, glad I didn't pay real money to see this one.

How the mighty have fallen. Monte Markham in a movie of this low quality is insulting to the actor profession. The movie has a stupid premise, a dumb story, really bad acting and a horrible script. The fact that is not really an American film, but a Serbian one spoken in bad English just adds insult to injury. The English subs for the movie were probably retranslated Serbian, because it was different from what people were actually saying.

No. Just no. I am all for indie movies and people that have no support from a movie industry like in Hollywood trying to make film, but when this is the result I just don't get it. Why bother making a movie if it is this bad? It's not like it would ever make money, and clearly no one loved doing this, so why do it at all?

What the hell is going on? This movie is incredibly, amazingly, tremendously bad. It does not know what it wants to be. One unifying factor to the entire movie is the laughably over-dramatic soundtrack. So it was trying to be something like sci-fi horror-fantasy, but ended up an awful steaming pile of crap with an awful soundtrack. Also, "Death is dead." if there is something I cannot stand it is pseudo-profundity. What a piece of crap.
