Reclusion

So many questions...but the biggest one "The Door to the Other Side" will leave you with is "Why?" Why is the main character afraid to go outside when inside is where the haunting is? Why do the neighbors even care(this kinda gets answered but so cliche)? Why is all this happening? And why, oh why, did I sit through the whole movie?

Overall, the acting is fair, the creepiness is there with a slow burn, and the filming is decent. However, the writing is confused as if the writer tried to take too many ideas and tried to connect them together to provide a twist that you didn't see coming. But the construction is poor and the director can't quite pull it off as convincing. Sad, because it could have been really good with less. Good for a casual watch, but don't expect much from it.

This suuuuuuuucked!!! Nothing ever happened..? The idea was good just poor execution.. not scary at all.. every time you think something cool is about to happen it doesnt. Nothing explained,no real ending, no thrill, nothing! I was falling asleep the whole time.. Basically a movie about how a guy sleeps..

I watch a great deal of horror films and thought this was going to be another of those in the "okay" category at best. However I was pleasantly surprised.

The basic story is that a mans wife dies by apparently supernatural causes. After 19 years he becomes a recluse, never setting foot out side his house, which still appears to have unexplained phenomena occurring. Then the young couple next door start doing shopping and such for him, and become drawn into the mystery

A few people have mentioned production values, but I don't agree. If the story telling and direction is good enough it doesn't need big fancy special effects, indeed they often detract from the story. There are some genuinely creepy moments throughout the film. The acting is excellent, the story has an original twist and the directing is fine. It's hard to say much more without giving away any plot points.

My only pieces of criticism would be, one of the plot twists is fairly obvious and much used.

The story becomes a little muddied in the middle, and you never really seem to find out how the couple next door originally became involved, or their intended role.

The ending is just a little disappointing, and felt inconclusive.

But all in all I really enjoyed the ride with this one.

Enjoyable movies are getting hard to find, sit back relax, this movie does the job. Spooky is good. Did a good job for what they had, I was actually surprised by how low the rating is, and I've seen plenty with higher rating that wasn't as good, so yeah I think it's getting trolled.

Great job! I absolutely love this movie. Thumbs up!!! I encourage people to watch this movie because you will be on the edge of your seat. I like the characters in the movie. They were authentic and scary. I love scary movies. This is a must see! If you are intrigued with paranormal activity then you will not be disappointed. The director also did a great job
