I've never thought of posting a review of a movie but I just watched this and had to point out how horribly bad the music is. Never in my life have i wanted to stop watching a movie because of bad soundtracks. It just doesn't get worse than this.

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.

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.

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.

Go bake a pie. Take a walk. Eat a whole pizza. Contemplate life, the universe and everything. There are so many more things you could do with these 90 minutes of your life. Don't waste them on this. It's bad. I mean really bad. I think giving myself a coat hanger lobotomy would actually be preferable to watching this again.

Just don't do it. This movie is a trap. Run away while you still can.

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?

As a sci-fi fan I can say this does not have any merit. There is no science in this fiction. It's loosely based around a time/space rift, but in a nonsense way. The acting is poor, the script makes little sense. The rating for this film is accurate, I would say a 4 out of 10 is about right. I struggled to stay awake at times.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever had the pleasure, I mean torture of watching. Luckily, we were cooking maple syrup and got something else accomplished while this garbage was playing on the tube. Don't watch it. Consider yourself warned.

Will there be somethings with a part 2 Aftermath???

When I read the reviews before watching this film, I went in expecting crap. Well, It wasn't crap.

The movie category is misleading. It is not a sci-fi and not strictly a horror, and so fans of those two genres may be disappointed. There are however, the flavor of those two genres present. But I imagine, Sci-fi fans will surely notice scientific inconsistencies. Horror fans may be bored to tears. (Although there is some violence, it is not overly gory and is shot with a clever balance of suggestion.) Within 13 minutes in,the main characters and story line are introduced, and although the story line is not real meaty, and attempts to be more smart then it really is, inevitably it is interesting. A nice steady pace continued and I was intrigued and drawn in as immediately the film took a creepy and mysterious turn. Although there was some predictability at times, there were surprises and twists within the movie to keep me engaged.

Although there are no Oscar worthy performances, the actors did a fine job.

The choreography, setting, and camera use was all very well done. Editing and sound was also done with quality. Score/soundtrack did seem a bit loud at times but appropriate in style, and didn't compete with discussions.

Special affects and cgi were quite simple but effective.

The ending, again, tried to be more cerebral then it was and was just barely, satisfying. I would recommend a one time view, if you cant find anything else to watch. It isn't a total waste of time....or crap.

Yes, the music was bad on this movie. I would have rather watched in silence. I eventually turned off the sound and read the captions.

Right from the start of this horrible creation, the music is inappropriate. An intro-tune which is an unapologetic attempt at ripping off just about any Pink Floyd tune. As it proceeds on a seemingly course-less attempt at a plot, the soundtrack is beyond obscene! Why? Because you don't put electro-european club tracks in a scene that is supposed to be sad!! Or piano music in an actions scene?! I mean really?! Whoever did the music for this movie had to be either a personal friend of the producer, a grade-school friend of the producer (with ZERO soundtrack experience) or both! And it isn't just the selections! The volume goes from whisper-quiet to deafening and bombastic! Also at the worst possible--and unexplicable times! Do NOT waste your time on this garbage! It's awful. And if you're morbidly curious--if you watch the introductions scene, any intelligent viewer can figure out how the movie will end after seeing it. To say the ending is cliche' is being too nice!

Seriously. It's clear the inspiration for this is from Roadside Picnic, but while that novel and the Russian Film based on it have depth and can hold interest, this is just a mess. I can watch just about anything, but this, I'll be honest, couldn't get past 40 minutes. Poor acting, pacing and plot is the triumvirate of awful. Another reviewer said the ending had a good sting. Maybe it does, I'll never find out, life's too short for films without any redeeming qualities.

This movie is aweful from beginning to end. Really don't waste your time its noy worth it. Horrible acting, music way off, stupid things that don't make sence. What is really happening here?? I have no freaking clue. I love sci fi movies but this is not even considered a movie.

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.

What is this movie? Why was is made? What is happening and why. Lots of movies by millennials start with little to no backstory. This one had just a tiny bit of backstory. And then it launches into a storyline that is a complete mystery for almost the entire movie. Maybe it gets resolved by the end, you say? It doesn't!

This is so unbelievably awful that it does not deserve the 1 star that we are forced to give it. W T F ?!?!?!?!?! I should have looked at the rating before I started watching it. My fault. A good name for this stinkburger would have been "Why don't killed people stay dead?". That's just about all there is to this movie. People keep coming back to life. But it is not a zombie movie. The characters who know anything don't/won't talk. The rest don't know anything. The music is deafening and the dialog is whispers and you have to keep jacking the volume up and down. What a waste of film!

I come to a movie to try to be entertained and have a story told to me. This fails on all fronts for 90 wasted minutes. It is not possible to spoil this since there is no detectable plot. "Night of the Living Dead" had 10 times the plot of this thing and it had no plot at all. Divide that by 10 and you have this... uhhh... movie? I think not! I got to the end. You should not!

Don't waste a second watching this incredibly bad movie! Oh my god ! Please stop doing these kind of weird nonsense low budget movies ... it's actually a discrace for the industry .

I hadn't even heard of this movie prior to finding it by sheer random luck. And I decided to give it a go, as it was listed as a sci-fi movie and the synopsis seemed adequate, plus it had Ken Foree on the cast list.

Now, I would be lying if I said that I had any expectations to it. And for good reason, because this movie turned out to be nothing out of the ordinary. There was nothing memorable about this movie at all, except you sort of wonder if this movie was really made in 2016. It just seemed like something that made it out of the late 1990's.

The story is about some special agents who are sent to into Eastern Serbia to find and secure the remains of a downed satellite. However, it turns out that there is something wrong at the location, and not everything is as it seems.

What is wrong with "The Rift" is that the movie lacks that special ingredient to make it an interesting movie. It just lacks that special something that sinks its hooks into you and keeps you rooted to your seat.

The characters were adequate and the actors did good enough jobs portraying them. Ken Foree, is an iconic actor in his own right, but he was fighting an uphill battle with "The Rift". However, the movie just suffered from a poorly written script and equally poor transition to the screen.

As for the sound effects, well let's just say that they are there and they are loud. A bit too much, some of the times, and that just brings a comical aspect to the movie, because it is over the top at times.

If you enjoy a good sci-fi movie, then "The Rift" is not the best of choices.

Like Beyond The Black Rainbow, this move is a masterpiece, It's not meant for mass consumption by the profane, if you have any actual occult knowledge the meaning of this gem is very clear. Only fellow adepts & keyholders will understand the hidden meanings of this great movie.

So if you're a fellow adept, or at the very least very intelligent, you'll have no problems understanding the deeper meanings implied in the movie. BRAVO, I'M WAITING FOR A SEQUEL NOW :)

The first hour of this Serbian made movie reminded me of an old Twilight Zone episode, which is a good thing. The last half hour degenerated into a horror gore fest, which is a bad thing. The best thing that can be said is; what a pleasure to see Monte Markham, who starred in some great 60's and 70's TV series. The worst thing that can be said is; what a disappointment that what could have been a great science fiction tale turned into a slasher flick. Five stars for Mister Markham, otherwise one star for the movie.

This is one of those kind of movies that you watch at 4 AM on channel 742 because there's nothing else on and you can't sleep because you have a bad head cold. The Rift is a sort-of-cool idea that inspired a script but at the end of the day really got marginalized as a plot point and didn't need to be there. The apocalypse bit at the end that evolves from the astronaut probably would have been a better idea for a movie. As much as I hate to crap on the work of artistic people, I really have nothing positive say about this movie. I hope it paid their rents.

With a kickoff more familiar to low budget black opd, I Spy movies, "The Rift: Dark Side Of The Moon" sluggishly and clumsily starts out. It is a beginning that feels forced into plotline and makes for a questionable start. I just knew I was gonna check out before the story really took off. Oddly enough , I hung in and found myself curiously intrigued, much like waiting for a train wreck.

Once "The Rifts" concept takes murky shape, and the sci-fi tropes really become centerstage, the film becomes a managabe, all be it, mediocre experience. The acting stays choppy, and filled with over acting and melodrama. Oddly enough it starts to actually work in the film's favor. Much like many of the bad but good episodes of the reboot to "Outer Limits" back in the day.

The special effects are mixed with almost trance influenced psychedelic CGI moments, and very horror inspired practical effects reminiscent of Lovecraft adaptations. Pick one. Overall I ended "The Rift" entertained, impressed even. What starts as a hot mess, so I thought, rebounds into a neat lowbudget ride into a little slice of Hell.
