Details

Two young children dead, floating face down in their family's bathtub. Their mother, shot in the back of the head, lies next to the tub in a pool of her own blood. On the floor slumped against a blood covered wall is her husband, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. For rookie Homicide Detective Chris Malloy this grisly scene is more than he expected to see in his first week of working the graveyard shift. For his partner, grizzled yet poetic Detective Murphy MacCasey, this is but one tragedy among countless in his fifteen years in homicide. They haven't seen anything yet.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Wizard-8 Of the three movies I have seen from Night Light Films, "Passed the Door of Darkness" is without doubt the best. The screenplay this time around tries to be a little thoughtful, dealing with some serious themes. Some of the acting by the no-name cast is also pretty decent. And the movie does display some seriously messy corpses here and there. However, all of that is not enough to save the movie. Like other Night Light productions, the movie is seriously cheap, ranging from tacky sets to inadequate lighting (why doesn't anyone turn on a light in this movie?) The so-called twist ending will no doubt be guessed by most viewers long before it happens. However, the biggest problem with the movie is that it's way too long and drawn out. While it doesn't get to the point of being seriously boring, viewers will repeatedly be telling the movie to simply get on with it - that is, if they don't turn off this Night Light long before it ends.
linda_galvin This is not one of the best thrillers I have ever seen but it certainly is - by far - NOT the worst. There are times when the slowness of it tested my patience. I did find that the script writing was well enough done to capture and maintain my interest to the end. At times the delivery of dialogue was a bit stilted. While the acting was more than a tad weak - again it was by far superior to MOST low budget films.The two central characters played off well against each other and lent an intriguing dynamic to the story. The younger cop was determined to work with the well-regarded older cop who has more than earned his reputation. On a very basic level, the plot is simplistic yet plays out well to a disturbing, and twisted, conclusion.
kenfairbanks I disagree with the prior posting of bad on this movie.If you were not paying attention then you most likely would not enjoy the movie,although it would be pretty hard not to be interested at all in this movie PASSED THE DOOR OF DARKNESS,it contained one of the most well thought out mysteries of all,MURDER SUICIDES, the pain of life and LOVE and each persons way of dealing with personal demons in their life. This movie is a lesson we should all take notice of, for it has far reaching arms that touch all of us in life.And if all you do is watch a movie to judge it then you should not be watching any movie at all for they all are written by people with a message,miss the message and pay the consequence,of not knowing more to life than you know!!!
scurvyplease This movie is, hands down, one of the worst I've seen in a long time. The script is nothing but terrible, clichéd lines, the acting is atrocious, and many of the stylistic touches are annoying (especially certain scenes where the characters' lines are echoed, as if the director didn't trust us to remember the important ones). I feel bad for the people who worked on this film, because they probably thought it would turn out really moody and suspenseful. Instead, I found myself laughing at the lame "twist ending" and nearly dozing off at certain points. What a waste of time. I almost never comment on this site, but this movie was just so bad that I had to come here and warn others about it.
