Min anoigeis tin porta

I have been following UH since 2018 and their growth in the matter of film shooting, editing and composing has gone to extremely high levels. This movie proves that. However, it should not be viewed as your average horror movie. There is deep symbolism and underlaying themes, motifs that the Karpas Brothers have shown in their previous short films "Lurking Near" and "Breakfast". The only problems with the movie for me were the way dialogue was delivered and the unnecessary number of long takes, accompanied by black screen. Overall, it is the best possible setting stage for Greek horror movies yet to come.

Great sound quality and music that built atmosphere and made the viewer have higher expectations than the final outcome.

Decent cinematography with many interesting static shots. Dark scenes had the required clarity without giving difficult time to the viewer.

Storytelling was indifferent and some times dull. Many loosely related elements that made the movie have no clear direction besides the main theme of guilt and redemption through death. No empathy for the characters.

Acting was mediocre. Male role was unnatural and stiff, female role had potential (dancing in the forest scene) but didn't fully payoff.

Judging it as viewer and not as a fan.

The movie was as expected from such as small crew with no experience on this field. Predictable story outcome, static images, not a lot of camera movement, same/similar shots etc. I don't know if there is an influence from all the horror games you've played, but I could see a pattern here. Definitely, the movie needed more characters and also, a little bit of faster dialogs, it was way too dramatic and at some point you start getting bored because you can predict what's coming. The sound design was exceptional for me and overall, I would say it was a very very good try for the first time.

Generally, it was different approach on this genre for this country and it is worthy to go check it out.

Aim big, go bigger!

Best of luck to the next one!

For a start, 9 out of 10 reviews are biased since the produ cers are well known YouTube stars therefore the followers they have are rating the movie based on their love for their favorite channel and not for the actual movie.

On the movie now, production and videography is excellent and well above the "greek" standards. The scenery is very well chosen and helps a lot to improve the overall feeling of the movie.

The script is very shallow though which unfortunately takes a lot away from the amazing greek natural scenery. Acting is ok, but could have been definitely improved if the team had invested in it a little bit more.

Overall, a solid, well producedeffort that deserves recognition within Greece. The quality is high however the lack of a detailed and well thought out script has a negative impact on it. Definitely worth a watch.

The film is a decent try to make a psychological thriller with low budget and without knowledge and experience. Karpa brothers try to make a heavy atmosphere in dark forest and a isolated cabin. They accomplished to make a hostile atmosphere, great photography, great music design, very nice soundtrack and decent acting. The basic problem is the script. Things happen with no meaning and without a serious plot. Also very pour dialogs with some theatrical I can say essence. In conclusion it's a decent try but it barely catches the minimum standards for the big screen. I hope in better writing next time! But it's creepy, it has nice sound design, nice photography, great heavy hostile atmosphere...So yes, it's a start!
