Never Open the Door

I've managed to watch, and to some extent enjoy, no end of bad horror movies, but this was right up there with some of the most unbearable.

The first 15+ minutes are taken up by some of the most unlikeable characters I've ever seen, engaging in what was nothing more than an infantile dialogue. They're so despicable you're almost praying they're all killed off as part of the introduction before the film moves on to the heart of the story. Sadly, that's doesn't happen.

The potential, based on the premise was never in jeopardy of being realized. The dialogue was awful, the acting was.....not good....lets just leave it at that, and the structure of the movie was disjointed and highly annoying. I really want the last hour of my life back.

the idea of the movie was interesting but executed terribly. The acting is god awful to the point that it is funny (which might have been on purpose because how the hell could the director look at the dailies and not realize this is awful) as well as the dialogue being the worst i have ever seen in my life, nothing the characters say or do makes sense on a human or conscious level. I have no idea how this was made. The characters have no realism, this movie wasn't filmed on earth. these are not humans. The characters act more stupid than is even possible to an unrealistic point, i really can't stress that enough. Too be fair the black and white did fit the movie for the tone and the boobs were okay so there's that. And as far as other reviewers saying they want their hour back I have an important question.. did you not realize what you were getting in to? i mean, right off the bad you can tell what's in store as far as character and acting.

I really don't know if I liked this movie or not. It's only 1 hour long but the time passed so fast. I really enjoyed it without pause it for any reason. The sound mixing is awful because the music was louder than the dialogue but the score is pretty good and kept me into the mood of the movie. The shots are actually great but maybe it is the B&W that fools you. It is one of the weirdest movies I've seen in a good way. There is something with this movie similar to "Coherence" which by the way it's an excellent film. The acting and the dialogue are not good but I gave it 9/10 because I wasn't bored at all in general. I just wanted to see what's gonna happen in the end. I think the writers wanted to make a movie that make no sense and luckily it is an enjoyable movie. If you are looking for a descent movie to watch, then this is not your film. But if you are looking for something really weird for no reason, this is your movie.

Whoever added the Hitchcock and Twilight Zone tags to this should be ashamed of themselves. The film is a total mess - lots of shouting and repetitive dialogue - the worst being one annoying character repeating "what are you doing?" over and over, maybe 7 or 8 times - a lot of scenes were overly long, especially one where one of the guys was just screaming over and over again. The music was too loud and overbearing and seems to be some sort of Indiana Jones/Omen hybrid. It was a decent idea but poorly executed, poorly acted and I for one am glad it was only 64 minutes long and, even better, it didn't cost me a penny although I'd like my 64 minutes back.

Awful acting, lots of screaming and a plot that is never explained and you are left to guess. Even the small twist at the end was stolen from another movie. It's something to watch if you're really bored.
