The Other Side of the Tracks

Amerindie

An atmospheric ghost story. Beautiful lighting and cine all the way through...so well done that that held my interest to the end.

The story was OK eventually but getting there was annoying. The writer/director deliberately withheld lots of information until over an hour in...so most of the time we didn't know what the hell was going on. We were stuck with a protagonist who was inarticulate and mostly looked at the floor. I wanted to hit him up side the head. I was also confused about the film's view of the spirit world.

Everything was a little too enigmatic for a little too long. Still, a nice effort. Almost a cigar.
