ON THE OTHER SIDE

About This Movie

So, 'On The Other Side' from 2019, huh? It’s got this gritty, unsettling vibe that really sets the tone. The pacing is interesting—sometimes slow, almost creeping up on you, but it complements the boy's journey through trauma quite well. The horror isn’t just in the typical jump scares; it’s more about the buildup of dread. Practical effects are used in a way that feels raw, which adds to the overall tension. Performances are pretty solid too, especially from the lead, who does a nice job of conveying fear and determination. There’s this theme of confronting one’s past that runs deep, and it’s handled in a way that doesn’t feel heavy-handed. A unique piece for sure.
