The Door

I really enjoyed this. It's an incredibly interesting and creepy premise with plenty of room to grow. It feels like, though, once the movie got going they didn't really know exactly what to do with it or how to really convey what they were shooting for. Overall, good movie and I have no real complaints.

This is the kind of movie that tends to end up with a bunch of 10 star reviews from people involved with the movie and a bunch of 1 star reviews from people who watched it expecting a 10 star movie. This is not a 10 star movie BUT if you watch it with an open mind, it's surprisingly good! The acting and dialog is pretty much exactly as bad as you'd expect from a low budget movie like this but the concept and the story itself surprised me with how good it was. It rather reminded me of a good short story, they didn't over-complicate things, didn't over explain things, they just told a good story with minimal special effects and maximum horror.

I'm not kidding about the low budget BTW, you could remake this entire movie using nothing but a half dozen of your friends, a rented warehouse and the assorted junk from your attic! Basically this movie showed what can be done with if you have an interesting story and nothing else.

Basically it was pure elegance in its simplicity! Big budget movies could learn a thing or two by watching this one.

This is a solid idea for a story, and the movie even started out pretty good, but they made some very big mistakes. Some of the things that the characters say and actions they take don't make sense for that character. Some of the lines of dialogue are obvious mistakes, as if the writer/director wrote new lines for some scenes and when they put everything together the pieces just didn't fit. The actors appear to be waiting for the next line of dialogue to be given to them, and often miss the emotions they are supposed to be portraying.

This movie feels more like a college project or a group of friends trying to make some money off of a good idea, but when it comes down to it they missed the mark. On that level it was okay, but in my opinion it wasn't a good movie.

OMG this is a jumbled, boring mess. I found myself falling asleep with about 30 minutes left. I have no idea how it ends and don't care; that's how bad this is.

The security guard kid that I can't remember his name at the moment has an easy job to watch a door. About 90% of this movie could of been avoided if he did his job. The Jess character is the type of person that will aggravate you since they think they're right and you must listen to them at all times. This character annoyed me the most due to the I'm a bad ass know it all attitude. Through out the whole movie I was like dam this movie could of been done in 2020 and I can see SJWs do the same dumb things. In short, everyone in this movie deserves what they got. The security guard mantra in this whole movie should of been ignorance is bliss and never let friends come to his job.
