The Other Side

The movie opens in Mumbai, India, where a married couple, Maria and Michael, are discussing their future together. Maria surprises Michael with the news that she is pregnant, marking a hopeful beginning for their family.

While enjoying a moment on the beach, Maria feels exhilarated about starting their family in Mumbai. However, her joy turns to horror when a mysterious child approaches and lets out a chilling demonic scream, waking her from what is revealed to be a nightmare.

Fast forward six years later, the family is shattered by the loss of their son, Oliver. Maria, overwhelmed with grief, lashes out at Michael, showcasing the emotional turmoil that has consumed their lives since the tragedy.

A traumatic memory unfolds as Maria recalls the tragic accident that took Oliver's life. While escaping their sinking car, she can only save Lucy while hearing Oliver's desperate pleas for help, which haunt her dreams.

In the aftermath of their son’s death, Maria’s despair escalates. After a breakdown, she attempts suicide, leading to a frantic call for emergency help as Michael realizes the depth of her anguish.

In the hospital, Maria meets their housekeeper Piki, who shares her own tragic story and offers Maria a chance to say goodbye to Oliver's spirit. Piki reveals a ritual at an abandoned temple that allegedly allows communication with the dead.

Maria prepares for the ritual by exhuming Oliver's body and witnessing the disturbing decay since his death. This unsettling experience primes her for the supernatural events to follow.

After performing the ritual, Maria locks herself in the temple to summon Oliver's spirit. As night falls, she begins to hear his voice, longing to reconnect with her lost son.

Despite Piki’s warning, Maria opens the temple door when she hears Oliver's voice pleading to be let out. The moment becomes catastrophic as his spirit escapes, unleashing a dark curse.

Upon returning home, Maria notices unsettling changes within her family and environment, with bizarre occurrences escalating and hinting at a dark transformation linked to Oliver’s disturbed spirit.

The Wednesday night presents a moment of stark reality as Michael realizes a sinister presence has crept into their home, marked by the death of their dog and the growing unease with Lucy’s disturbing behavior.

As the spirits take control, Oliver, now possessing Lucy, fatally stabs Michael in a tragic twist of fate, revealing the full extent of the curse Maria unwittingly unleashed.

In a desperate act to save her daughter, Maria confronts the shamans to release Oliver's spirit while offering herself as the ultimate sacrifice. Her determination symbolizes a mother’s love against the supernatural.

As Maria dies, she believes she has saved her family but realizes too late that her actions have led to a greater evil, causing a cycle of darkness to begin anew as Michael attempts the same ritual.

In the closing scene, Maria's spirit is left to witness Michael's desperate attempt to reopen the door, visualizing a new cycle of tragedy yet to unfold, reinforcing the horrific consequences of their actions.
