Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
gpeltz The Door, 2014 is written and directed by Patrick Mcbrearty, It is watchable, Spoiler Alert and plenty. In a nutshell, this is about the Warehouse from hell. It's also about kids making bad decisions.The middle section plays mind games, and the conclusion is over played, but while it lasts it has the elements of a good twilight zone.The budget could not have been very much, the sets are minimal, visual effects are few. Perhaps the very limitations and the stark sets, give the setting the creepy feeling it was shooting for. Story wise we have a good beginning; Owen played by Sam Kantor has to miss his girlfriends birthday party because of his new job as Security guard. His girlfriend Abby played by Winny Clark decides to bring her party with all his friends, to his place of work, On his first night-shift ? We know nothing good will come of this. There use to be a song called, "Green Door" (What's that secret you're keeping?) That is the main element here. Owen is suppose to be guarding a door, and make sure it doesn't open. that's his job. What's behind the door is a mysterious unknown. Naturally his friends led by Jess played by Alys Crocker, decide to find out. one eye rolling bad move after another! Mysterious things happen behind the door, we know because each character in the movie gets to say, "This place is F**k'ed Up" at least twice. Likewise each character gets seven chances each, to say, "Did you hear that?" and an equal number of, "No's" "We're not alone" is given only one go around per character. There is some "feeder fish" talk going on plot-wise, but the threat is never defined. seeing yourself doing something different then what others witness, is as strange as it gets, No complaints with the tech stuff, the soundtrack was clean, thankfully without the booming fright jump cues. Seven Stars for the "Good mood of mystery" (by the props guys)Out of Ten.
begob Fairly clean cut horror arising from a surreal situation.The makers don't explain the source of evil, so it remains a mystery. Which is OK, except the evil doesn't have a clear method either. Instead we end up with crazy slash and stab.Also there's the unavoidable "I'll just wander off on my own" tendency. It's nicely wrapped up though and not a waste of time.Big problem is the dialogue - 1001 questions: Did you hear that? Did you see that? What do you mean? Where are we? Are you for real? What's going on? In the middle there are a few unconvincing exchanges where information is repeated within seconds. Very hard for actors to deal with that.
sellzmktng01 My first review, so be gentle :p ... Naah, abuse me all you want. First, my horror movie experience began in 1983 or so, with Faces of Death, thanks to my morbid brother. Since then my horror and suspense flick taste has brought me to using IMDb to quench my thirst for hidden gems.I liked the fact that it does a lot with nothing, basically. The filming is quality which makes up for a lot. When a movie looks like it was done on an old JVC VCR cassette camera and nobody bothered to clean up the video noise or level the audio I lose interest, unless its a documentary or done on purpose like a 'found footage' piece. Even then, you can see some effort to keep it flowing and 'movie'-ish. I lack the tech description for it, but it was a movie and not some toy store crap.That being said, it is a professional-looking piece. I always wanted to know what the antagonist was, but I didn't really care because I felt it was like finding the purpose to the game, is the purpose of the game. I hope they do a part II that includes some background to the Asian guy and the Warehouse, like Star Wars did the (end?) before the beginning.Sadly, when I saw 'As Above So Below' with all the hype I was pumped, but after that, if I had to buy a ticket again between the two, this is hands-down the choice, no question. That's my next review.Either way, as a stand-alone flick it is a satisfactory experience.
Kyle Popovich The Door is a great little gem of a film with a great looking budget. The cinematography was great, and the sets were excellent. The overall acting is alright, they don't respond naturally in traumatic situations. The story gives you enough to stay locked in and there's one overall question that needs to be answered, so it forces you to sit back. *SPOILER* The general questions that are raised are great (although some still need answers, WHAT IS WITH THE LAMPS?!). *END SPOILER*Lots of jumps scares, mostly false but still jumpy. I'd say give it a watch if your an indie horror fan or a horror film lunatic. The Door is filled with nice horror tropes and clichés. Feels vintage and yet a little fresher with the cine.
