Firstly, Hostile Dimensions is much more a sci-fi thriller than it is a horror. The film cares a lot about it's story and has a driving momentum towards solving it's central mystery, much more so than typical found footage horror. This certainly works to the film's credit and it left me impressed with the scope and inventiveness of its ideas.
A couple of documentry makers obtain a mysterious door which appears to be a gateway to other dimensions. Malevolent forces reveal themselves and what started as professional interest turns into a personal quest for the film makers.
The idea is intriguing and the film contains plenty of interesting details to help it feel fresh while keeping the audience interested. On the other hand the writing felt a little patchy and inconsistent. Many ideas that ended up being key to understanding character motivations were under developed leaving me confused by some of the behaviour and choices being made.
The acting was endearing and the cast seemed to be having fun but it was unclear to me whether I was supposed to be taking the film seriously or whether it was striving for a more tongue in cheek tone.
Overall there was much to enjoy about Hostile Dimensions, which was able to accomplish a great deal on screen with a tiny budget.

This film has a very good premise, but it miss it landing. The bones are good. I love other dimensions type stories, but this film lacks substance.
My criticism have nothing to do with the low-budget aspect of the film. I don't need flashing CGI, or special effects; I use my imagination on novels all the time, so I can be drawn to a good story. However, there is basically no story here. You can watch the preview is that basically the whole movie. See this door, see it goes to different dimensions, see me run through it, see we find so random dude who happen to be expert at interdimensional doorway travel, see I am an expert at it now...
My first issue is the acting is terrible. I seen better acting in high school plays. The actors to not delivery on emotion. So their reactions seem like people trying to act a part, rather than people just living their lives (especially, since this is a lost tape style movie, so they should come off as regular people).
Next is the film is just weird. There are so many potholes that it just confusing. It hard to find people's motivation for their actions, so everything seems dumb and unbelievable.

This is a found footage film, I don't particulary like the genre. However I had fun with it. As other reviewers have put it perfectly: they seemed to have fun with it. The fun shines through, however it is useless to look for a deeper narrative or a "science" part in the science fiction. Also the characters are not real, they do not react normal (you find a portal to another dimension and do not try to a) go to some authority b) make money of it. Ok, but after you use the portal and get to a hostile place you also do not equip yourself with some kind of real weapon / armor etc.).
The upside is that it is quite entertaining you want to know how it ends. But its a one time watch, perfect for an otherwise lazy afternoon or night.

I love movies like this! I don't care how slow burn or how low budget they are. This was pretty fun overall. I would def watch it if the premise sounds interesting to you. But go in w certain expectations.
Two things for me I think: 1) The script seems like it needed a few more edits. It does feel like there are slightly too many things going on, but I don't think so. I think it just feels that way bc there needs to be better character distinction and understanding of each person's motives. There were some points where a character would say or do something that no human would want to say or do, just to get the plot where it was going. Therefore the character work just wasn't strong enough IMO.
2) I feel bad but.. the acting. There are several times when these people have just witnessed something they could have never possibly imagined. Their brain should be breaking and they should have stunned tears in their eyes. But their reactions are just never proportionate to what's going on. Same goes for any "scary" parts. Instead of wide eyed, screaming, piss-your-pants level fear, it's like "run! Hurry! Close the door! Omg what was that, ew".
Idk this needed to be focused grouped several more times. The premise and low budget effects and casual humor were really good though!

I'm sorry, just being honest, it was terrible.
The who faux documentary thing is far beyond played out, but I thought maybe, just maybe this one might be interesting. Nope.
It just didn't make any sense, nothing was believable. (Yes I know sci-fi and fantasy don't have to be realistic, but they need to create a believable fantasy world). The acting was all over the place. Some good, some bad, mostly mediocre. No one reacts to anything the way you'd expect normal humans to react. It was just so bad. It really felt like I was watching the final group project for an undergrad cinema class. But, I paid for it. Ugh.
