The Evil Next Door

It's like every modern horror piece released today. They all follow the same formula and do not distinguish themselves from the pack.

Too much of a reliance on jump scares. Modern day horror's crutch. Sets a nice creepy mood then WHAMO!! A jump scare. It's a cheap device. It's a hindrance to the horror genre.

Look at The Exorcist. That should be your blueprint. Sets a creepy atmosphere and the shock is earned and not cheap. The horror is there embedded in the story. Modern horror is like an airhorn used on someone while they are sleeping.

Didn't mind just he subtitles. Not bad but not an upper tier horror movie. Meh..

This movie is like a mash-up of The Shining, Amityville, Insidious. Contains a fair amount of jump scares. No gore, but the director manages to keep the viewer on edge. Great sound with good surround effects.

"Andra Sidan" means "The Other Side" in english. Andra Sidan is a good effort in making a Swedish Amityville horror. I hope they make a sequel, or even better, a prequel.

Pretty enjoyable Scandinavian horror. The sound built a gloomy atmosphere, a really well-made movie. I recommend.

I think they just gathered actors in a room and said: "You've seen horror movies, right? So let's film a horror. We don't have a script, though, but you'll figure something out"

I would not even call it a movie, it's just a compilation of familiar scenes from other horrors, without any logical connection.

Even jumpscares don't work, they are either cut too early, or ruined by PlayStation 2 graphics.

You don't really expect well-written characters or logic from a horror, but you expect something. Just give me some vague explanation about "evil" possessing the house and make all the characters dumb, that's good enough for me, but in this movie things just happen. Actions and knowledge of the characters don't affect anything.

It is hard to explain, but this movie feels like something generated by a neural network. It feels familiar, and you can recognize some parts, but it just doesn't make any sense in general

Some things are lurking there, waiting for someone to ... come. Which is especially true in any horror movie of course, but also here. There is a meme with houses and their murderous/violent history ... and a family just joyfully moving into that house.

Now most of the time (like here), the new family has no clue and was never told what happened before they moved in ... so at least they keep up appearances that way. And since it is a horror movie, you know stuff will happen that will make you cringe. On the other hand, do you blame the dad for some of his reactions? Well maybe you do ... still this is rock solid for any fan of horror, well shot and the sound edit is top notch as well.
