The Other Side of the Door Reviews
Bound to be forgotten by those who can get through its 96-minute runtime without walking out of the theater or shutting it off at home.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 18, 2022
With less than a 100-minute long run-time... a nonsensical premise, shoddy execution on practically every level and absolutely no scares whatsoever, The Other Side Of The Door is best avoided at all costs.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 3, 2019
If you want to be scared out of your mind, I suggest you choose a different film - Paranormal Activity perhaps. The other side of the door was an idea that had some potential, but it definitely doesn't live up to it.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2019
The filmmakers even try to conjure up some CGI monsters for Maria to hallucinate, except they look so stupid and forgettable it's safe to assume that the designs were stolen from a trash bin at the studio for a Silent Hill game
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 4, 2017
The script lacks the precision of Roberts (underrated) slasher F, and the actings a little bumpy in places, but imaginative FX, excellent use of location and enough genuine (if, often, jump) scares compensate.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2017
The Other Side of the Door ended up being an enjoyable viewing experience due to Roberts' ability to manipulate familiar tropes and give them a proper twist.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 21, 2016
Even if this effort isn't quite up to snuff I still feel like [Roberts has] got a picture in him that potentially will be.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2016
Even the most forgiving of horror fans may find it hard to locate something good in this turkey.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 19, 2016
You can notice some effort in this film, but ultimately ends up being a product passing indifferent to us. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/10 | May 16, 2016
Feels like a horror genre cliche compilation: the family with the tragic past, the exotic location, and something forbidden that will atract the horrors of the night. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2016
It is an unfortunate mix of other horror films and it wastes a very interesting story with serious narrative problems. [Full review in Spanish]
| May 10, 2016
The main problem is that it uses cheap scares and not even an interesting atmosphere can save it of falling in common places and in total boredom. [Full review in Spanish]

Thhis B film is full of cliches and has zero originality. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 5, 2016
Though it borrows from Pet Sematary and other chillers and doesn't offer much in the way of fresh scares, this effective ghostly horror movie works thanks to characters with strong emotional centers.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2016
Resting on a string of uninspired and highly anticipated jump-scares and told with very little plausibility, The Other Side of the Door fails to bring anything new to the already saturated supernatural-horror genre.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 28, 2016
The Other Side of the Door throws a lot of mud at the wall and most of it sticks, thanks to a powerful performance by former Walking Dead star Callies.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 10, 2016
Effective performances by the principals are unable to surmount the movie's many cliches, although the actors render them more endurable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2016
Ghost-train fare - mostly mechanical and largely unsurprising.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 6, 2016
Rampant stupidity and cheap jolts are the key ingredients of this old-fashioned fright flick, which is distinguished solely by its Indian setting.
| Original Score: D | Mar 6, 2016
[The Other Side of the Door] relies on repetitive and predictable horror tropes and runs out of steam long before it ends.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 6, 2016
