Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS*** Mindless and ridicules horror flick with the young lady in red, her favorite color, the plucky Amanda Post, Susan Brackman, being trapped in her grandma's, Rhea MacAdams, creepy house who seems to be on her deathbed and about to check out, of life, at any moment. Were told that Amanda witnessed her moms murder in the same house 12 years ago and is now spooked in being there again. But there she is, looking after grandma, and confronted by these two weirdos the person or curator running the place Claude Kerns, Larry O'Dwyer, or what seems to be grandma's power of attorney Judge Stemple, Glen Ross, who for reasons known only to themselves don't want Amanda around.For the remainder of the movie we have, and it's no secret to those of us watching ,this crazy nut Kerns calling Amanda for phone sex and threatening to murder her grandma who's as good as dead anyway, if she doesn't comply to his sick demands. Judge Stemple who has other reasons in wanting Amanda out of the house is later a victim of Kerns in wanting him out of his way, like Amanda, so he can end up having the house all to himself.****SPOILERS*** With all this happening to her Amanda loses it and in the end joins her grandma' in becoming a zombie on steroids as well as murderess. And the person whom she ends up murdering, by bashing his skull in, is her concerned but not too bright, in not realizing what she's going through, boyfriend Nick played by Hugh Feagin who seemed to be the only sane person in the entire movie! Were shown at the end the person-we think- who actually murdered Amanda's mom 12 years ago and by also stealing and mutilating her favorite doll that eventually caused her to go completely nuts but by then, after what we went or suffered thorough watching the movie, couldn't care less whoever he was or what he did.

Michael_Elliott Don't Open the Door! (1975) * 1/2 (out of 4) Thirteen years after seeing her mother brutally murdered, Amanda (Susan Bracken) returns to her hometown when she receives a call saying that her grandmother is about to die. Soon after arriving Amanda starts to realize that something strange is happening and after receiving some prank calls she realizes she's not safe. Director S.F. Brownrigg made five films in his career and he's gained a pretty big cult following over the years and it's interesting to read reviews from his fans because all of them are mixed on what film of his is the great. The most popular is certainly DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT but it seems that this film has some calling it his best with others saying it's his worst. I think the film shows some growth from Brownrigg's 1973 film but at the same time there are still many problems here. First for the good stuff. The pacing of the film is certainly much better than what we previously saw from the director and it's really too bad that this more upbeat pacing wasn't used in earlier films because they could have been much better. The pacing certainly helps this film because the story is so lacking in many different ways. For starters, there's really not too much going on. You should be able to identify the killer before the twenty-minute mark so there's really no surprises as you work towards the end. Another problem is that we're often sitting through scenes that just drag on without any purpose and none of them really effect what's going on. The performances here are all rather mixed but I thought Bracken did a decent job in the lead and fans of DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT will be happy to see some of the patients from that film in roles here. Brownrigg once again makes some nice atmosphere but it's pretty much wasted due to the weak story.

christopher-underwood Not quite as good a low budget effort as Mr Brownrigg's earlier, 'Don't look In The Basement' but still well worth catching. This starts rather slow and predictably but soon develops into a real creepy affair with an excellent central performance from Susan Bracken as she spends the entire movie fending off the crazies. Whilst she may not be surrounded by folks quite as crazy as in the earlier film none of them are the sort you would wish to get too close to and as the film progresses a most unpleasant tone begins to permeate the picture. Bracken does plenty of wide eyed screaming, particularly as she really begins to lose it towards the end and with her red outfit and the dark shadows and is certainly a sight to be seen.

joboyle Well, Scream ripped this movie off. Mother killed by slasher... check. Phone Calls... check. Stalking of daughter by killer... CHECK. Totally ripped this lame piece of s**** off!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr! I mean really, Scream was lame... but in a different way. This movie is worth watching for laughs only, no scares here, no horror. But if you like cheese and the eighties, find it and try to get it cheap! Try Dollar Video.
