Reviews

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Toby Kemp I really enjoyed this. It's an incredibly interesting and creepy premise with plenty of room to grow. It feels like, though, once the movie got going they didn't really know exactly what to do with it or how to really convey what they were shooting for. Overall, good movie and I have no real complaints.
a_baron How do you make an ultra-low budget horror film? How about have a small bunch of people walking around in an abandoned building at night commenting on how they can hear someone - or something - whispering?Actually, although "The Door" has its faults, it is quite atmospheric. A young guy is down on his luck, too broke even to buy his girlfriend a birthday present, when he walks into a violent street robbery. Using his wits rather than his non-existent martial arts skills, he scares off the two hoods, and the grateful victim hands him a wad of money. Gee mister, I can't take that. He does though, and a job offer, start right away, 12 hours a night, but at $500 a shift, how can he refuse? All he has to do is don a uniform then sit and watch a door all night to ensure it doesn't open. An idiot could do that, right? Now you kinda know that if he doesn't open the door, this will be one boring movie, but what lies behind it, the entrance to Hell? No, that was "The Sentinel". So how does he come to open it? Girlfriend turns up with the gang having traced him through a new app on her phone. Hey, let us in, it's only 2am and we want you to join the party. He acquiesces, that is his big mistake. There is a bit more to this film than that, but not a lot more. So what happens? Watch it right through, and if you still don't know, you're in good company.
begob Fairly clean cut horror arising from a surreal situation.The makers don't explain the source of evil, so it remains a mystery. Which is OK, except the evil doesn't have a clear method either. Instead we end up with crazy slash and stab.Also there's the unavoidable "I'll just wander off on my own" tendency. It's nicely wrapped up though and not a waste of time.Big problem is the dialogue - 1001 questions: Did you hear that? Did you see that? What do you mean? Where are we? Are you for real? What's going on? In the middle there are a few unconvincing exchanges where information is repeated within seconds. Very hard for actors to deal with that.
littlechicktle I really liked this movie a lot, inspired a lot of conversation which is what I look for in movies. However, I felt like I was left with a lot of unanswered questions and haven't been able to find any additional sources to answer them. The movie just seemed to end sort of abruptly and there were a lot of different aspects that could have been further explored. If a sequel is made explaining more than I will definitely be a proud owner. The movie did seem to have a lot of depth, the suspense was drawn out at an optimal pace, and there were enough subplots to really keep me intrigued. Anytime I thought I knew what was happening or what was about to happen, I was wrong. I enjoyed trying to figure everything out as the movie went along.
