Alexandre Aja, known for horror genre films such as “The Hills Have Eyes,” “Horns’ and “Piranha 3D” produces another yet spine-tingling thriller in “The Other Side of the Door” where a mother who lost her son and can’t bear to lose him has done something terrible that is about to destroy her family just to get him back. As a producer, Aja explains he first looks for a story with a real heart because spectacle and action mean little without it. Starring Sarah Wayne Callies as Maria, the grieving mother, begins to lose touch with rationality and turns towards unconventional and ultimately horrific measures to deal with her loss. “When the supernatural is the only solution in her life, Maria decides to try it,” says writer Riera. “She thinks the supernatural is superior to any of her previous coping mechanisms and will change her life forever.” “By exploring these supernatural elements, Maria is opening a Pandora’s box she cannot close,” adds Callies. “She goes down a slippery ...

What was the last decision that you have taken for granted? As simple as what that could have been, maybe, just maybe, that extra five minutes you took before getting out of bed, that playlist choice for your morning ride, or the restaurant you chose your lunch, maybe one of those could have significantly altered the coming days, months, years.

Two people meet and you are presented with multiple flavors of loving, hurting, breaking down, affliction, clarity, uncertainties. Scenes from the lives of Roland and Marianne, brilliantly played by JC Santos and Cris Villonco, play and replay with variations of what could have beens. In one variation, Marianne could be bitchy, in the other Roland could have coy, in yet another Marianne appeared to be shy, Roland a bit apprehensive. The excellence of Rem Zamora's directing shine in how flawless the "life snippets" transitioned even as the ...
