“A family lives an idyllic existence abroad until a tragic accident takes the life of their young son. The inconsolable mother learns of an ancient ritual that will bring him back to say a final goodbye. She travels to an ancient temple, where a door serves as a mysterious portal between two worlds. But when she disobeys a sacred warning to never open that door, she upsets the balance between life and death.”
The Other Side of the Door offers a bit of intrigue for a few reasons, for one it is an R rated horror film which right from the start gives the writers some room to work, and it also stars Sarah Wayne Callies (Prison Break, The Walking Dead) who has proven that she is a decent actress who can play a variety of roles. Considering it is directed and co-written by Johannes Roberts who has a long list of low-budget horror films, it may fail miserably like so many before it, but I am hoping it at least makes a splash.
