The Other Side of the Door (2016)

Tried this one out on a recommendation today. It stars Sarah Wayne Callies from Prison Break and Walking Dead fame.

The story is about a mother who loses her young son in an automobile accident but suffers from deep depression because of it. So much so that she kinda loses touch with reality. Her house maid tells her of a place to go to be able to speak to him again but that she can never open the door under any circumstances. I will say she's a white, American lady in India so that rule apparently didn't imply and things start going south.

I call this one 'Pet Sematary: India'. It wasn't a bad film, but it is pretty much the same film as Pet Sematary just in a different locale. The story was average.

I will give some kudos to the imagery, however, as the were some solid visual effects in some spots. There is some demon lady who was pretty creepy.

Overall it had some things going got it but it's not overly memorable. I'd rather go back and watch Gage slice an Achilles Hill with a scalpel again.

My recommendation is that it is worth a one-time watch if you are a horror fan. The visuals make it worth it.
