Nobody watches subtitled films, which is why some of the best international horror films never make it to the States. There’s a ton out there, and many are discovered at Filmart, which has just kicked off in Hong Kong.
Variety shares the first image from The Other Side, a supernatural horror being handled by Contents Panda.
In the film, three strangers — a writer, a creditor, and a detective — converge on a remote cabin, each with their own agenda. Strange occurrences quickly destabilize the group, with the writer becoming increasingly unhinged, convinced that the location has an inexplicable hold over her creative faculties. When a corpse turns up, and evidence of a malevolent presence emerges, the detective sets about piecing together what the cabin is hiding while the others desperately seek a way out.
Directed by Kim Jung-min and produced by Nalgae Entertainment (Rhapsody for the Dead, Fantasy of the Girls), the film stars Cha Sun-woo (The Cursed, Reply 1994) and Lee Lu-da (Rinza Noodle House), and is targeting a 2026 bow.
The title joins two previously announced Contents Panda productions at the market. The Second Child, a mystery dark fantasy horror directed by Yu Eun-jeong (Ghost Walk) and produced by Film Run (Moonlit Winter, Merry Christmas Mr. Mo), stars Lim Soo-jung (Cobweb, Woochi), Park Soi (The Atypical Family, Revenant), and Yuna (Dark Nuns, Pachinko).
The story follows a young woman who regains consciousness after three years in a coma, only to be confronted by the apparition of her deceased sister, as their mother’s search for the truth behind the sister’s death gradually uncovers a dark hereditary secret stretching back centuries. Their separate investigations converge when they encounter a stranger bearing an uncanny resemblance to the dead girl.
