Don't Open the Door

I hope the creators read this cause this text can only help them and make them better. I'm dividing it into bullet points to make it clearer.

Image: Maybe the best part of the movie, excellent colors and the forest just bangs.

Sound: The synth of the theme is strong, although it sends you a little towards cyberpunk. The rest of the sounds are reminiscent of the previous videos on YouTube, which is not good, a big movie is something else and should be treated as such.

Actors: This is where the trouble begins because the acting is below average. The way the actors speak is like kids do in school plays. Cringe af & very amateur. Let Karatzas teach you boys.

Screenplay: The film's biggest problem. The script is indulgently bad. Empty, slow and monotonous. From it, I remember the music and two illuminated faces, nothing else, because there is nothing else. A haunted woman and a man with guilt for his son's death. I expected at least an explanation at the end of the movie for it to make sense, but didn't even get that. Guys, it's not enough for the idea to slap in our own mind and containing a ton of symbolism. The viewers are not mediums and abstraction without limit is very bad.

Btw, what nostrils does Fotini have, you softies, in a low shot of Alex, I almost fell in lmao.

That's it in short. Take note and differentiate yourself in the future. Leave the horrors and the pitch-black nights and do something more lively and out of what you're used to. Differentiate the style you have had until now on youtube and you will not lose. And something very important: stop drowning in the adoration comments from all over the country. I saw such stupid comments from such stupid people praising the script. This will keep you stagnant and hurt you in the future. All the praise should go to the effort.

Beside the result itself you managed to create a wave of energy along all the theaters in the world and thats amazing. That's why we love you.

See you next time, friends.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
