I got about 1/2way through this movie before I looked up the director Gregg Bishop, and found he's made The Siren, another fantastic and very original movie. Makes sense. I can't think of another first feature where the director tells the story this well with action and story. Tons of throwaway lines, tons of clever use of old horror tropes, I had a blast watching this one, and I'm looking forward to more awesome features from Gregg Bishop!!!

I had had this in my queue on Hulu, and it disappeared. I figured I'd put it on one night when I'd drunk too many beers and fell asleep before the end or something, so I decided to re-watch it. All the way through the movie, I kept remembering the scenes. Got to the end and went "Oh... I've seen all of it." I just didn't remember any of it.Production values were good and the writing was well enough done. The acting was very good, and the story was alright, if a bit weak. It tries to be original, but in all truth, it isn't terribly. Boy escapes from hell to find who murdered him and why... finds out his fiancée was murdered too, and in the end there's a totally predictable plot twist. It was just forgettable.

After his graduation in Business from Columbia, Samuel North (Nathan Mobley) returns to his hometown in Athens County to meet his beloved fiancée Hanna Thompson (Jaimie Alexander). Sam calls Hanna, who work as waitress at the Montana's and he schedules the encounter "in their place" nearby a waterfall. Hanna never arrives and Sam is killed by the driver of a van and sent to Hell. However, there is a breach and many lost souls escape from the Pit including Sam back to the world of the living. While they are chased by the hunters from the hell called Reapers, who can switch bodies when they are killed and are called Switchers and leaded by the powerful Changeling, Sam finds that Hanna is missing and he is the prime suspect. Sam is helped by the former thief Oz (Poncho Hodges) and the former adulterer Mally (Cory Rouse) from the other side that believe they can find redemption helping Sam, and by his friend and policeman Peter (Stephen Caudill) and discovers the identity and the motives of the assassin."The Other Side" is a great supernatural story disclosed in a fast-pace and lots of humor. This low-budget movie has a great development of the plot and characters, using the principles of faith, redemption, sin, heaven and hell and excellent performances of the unknown cast. If it is true that Gregg Bishop made this movie with only US$ 15,000.00, I would like to give additional congratulations for this lesson to Hollywood with one of the best indie movies ever. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Anjos da Morte" ("Angels of the Death")

This movie had its good, it had its bad and it had its ugly.The good: surprisingly good performance from the lead actor. He actually stood out big time. I hope to see more of him in some bigger productions. This movie made so much out of so little. I was downright impressed with the resourcefulness of the director. He was quite ingenious at times. It had some very cool gags, stunts and FX.The Bad: It felt like a rip off of several movies. The camera-work and lack of competent lighting got annoying and distracting at times. Some of the acting was downright bad. The "twist" at the end was very "Scooby Doo".The ugly: Okay, nothing really ugly. I just threw that in. Enjoy!
