Doors

I wish movies now a days would get a good story and actually stick with it. This movie was all over the board and started off strong, then got strange and then I got completely lost. I would not recommend this movie unless you just had nothing better to do and are already bored out of your mind.

The movie starts off well in a school classroom but sinks deep into a mess never to see any of the actors in a number of segments again. What keeps the segments together is a radio voice over a time period, then refreshes and the film concludes.

The film achieves nothing. It tends to emulate Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, but fails completely, leaving nothing but imaginary baloney.

The only good look of the movie is its deceptive poster.

Four high school students are stuck in detention when something starts happening in the world. That is the first section in this movie which is split into different parts. The first section is a fascinating Twilight Zone story with four unknown young actors. It's twenty minutes. It could have been a fine full length sci-fi horror but it skips to the next section. The second section has Josh Peck, Lina Esco, and Dugan O'Neal in a group. Dugan is a co-writer and co-director of the movie. What I like least about this section is the attempt at light-heart pranking. The world is newly apocalyptic and Josh Peck keeps joking around. It's annoying. The movie disintegrates over time as each section has its own disjointed tone within this world. I'd rather they stuck with the four kids and keep going with their story. It wouldn't be great but at least, it would have a chance at being functional.

There is nothing to misunderstand in Doors - it is simply a low budget production that mainly drags on and on and on. Limited budget, limited acting skills, four more or less boring episodes. They should have put all the money and ideas in one short movie to get attention for their vision and maybe then collect a budget enough to make a real movie, but the script for Doors would have needed still some serious editing and reworking.

This is a bad film, i just did not care, bad story, bad acting, amateurly made. just dont bother.
