Don't Open the Door

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.

First I want to say that I am their fun and I have seen all the videos from the guys for years. I don't miss a single one of their livestreams.

Positives: unbelievably good cinematography by Alekos with incredible shots that I actually expected. The actors' performances are very good with the one of the bright one standing out. The music and sound gave me quite a chill.

And this is where the negatives start: The script and plot border on mediocrity as it was nothing we haven't seen before. You put in supernatural events happening that didn't even depend in the movie. At one point I started laughing and in a scene with the bright girl we all know who she is now. The ending wasn't predictable the truth is because it simply didn't even make sense. I didn't connect with the characters in the movie at all because I think there were more scenes and dialogue missing as far as their back story is concerned. Guys really the ending was something I can't forget. It felt like you guys wanted to get it over with and really send it.

Conclusion: The film was a good effort for the Greek horror scene. For God's sake don't expect it to be a generally good effort of world-class calibre like this. For 7 people who made it it is obviously the best you will see from a film by such people. ( Horror films have a small budget anyway ) I bet you could have done better and I bet you can do better because I don't think after that kind of support it's the only one you'll get.

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.

I'm a big fan of UH for almost a decade the movie is brilliant cinematically and sound wise. The only thing in my opinion that needs work is probably the way the movie unfolds the plot and how the story goes on. Plus the dialogues there were big time gaps between dialogues, that can be good but also a bad thing too. There were a lot scenes were the movie makes you feel a very bad and 'uncomfortable' feeling but in a good way, I never felt that with any horror or psychological thriller. Huge respect on that! Act wise Fotini was A M A Z I N G plus Sakis gave a very good act without being an actor himself that's a huge accomplishment. All in all KOLOMPOURA BRAVO we look forward for the next one don't stop making us proud!!

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!
