Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

AccidntlTourist If you are looking for a no-brainer, slasher, nudity laden horror flick - don't waste your time on this one.After seeing some of the comments, I didn't expect too much - but was glad I gave it a chance.Excellent performance by Michael Eklund as the drug dealer (look him up - this guy has no problem finding gigs); fantastic range in his performance.The cinema-photography was excellent! Good sound track. All around good production values. Good cast and acting.I loved the mystery of it; don't expect the "expected". Very good script; nicely layered; loved the way elements unfolded. Just when I kind of thought I knew where things were going, delicious little "twisted" twists were added. I liked that I was required to pay attention, to be patient and observant. Yes, the uneasy pacing - kept me off balance; added to the tension. And, I even experienced a couple startlingly scary moments; doesn't happen much for me anymore; such a treat.I even liked the ending - unsettling as it was.Well worth a coffee shop chat after viewing this film - so much going on; so much left to the imagination.

lastliberal Priests, demon-possessed nuns, rape, pedophilia - these are the makings of a good horror film when you add demons and the devil. Will this live up to the promise? Sometimes the concept is good, and certainly Sarah-Jane Redmond and Michael Eklund were good, but the story just didn't go anywhere.There was very little action; mostly just running around and talking. Some characters, like the cops in the precinct seemed to be doing work that was just to explain what was happening, as if they had no other way of doing so.The ending was left up to the viewer and that sucked.No gore, no blood, some puking from a strung out doper, and no boobage whatsoever. I really must have blinked once because I didn't see the nun either.

faggoy this movie was technically made well... in terms of quality of picture and audio... the lighting in some scenes could have taken more thought and effort however on to the story...it pretty much portrays the theme of saw where people are being punished for sins they committed in the past... most of it takes place in a parking lot where the people come across supernatural/horror creatures to finish them off...the dialogue got a bit annoying in some places and they never seem to execute the suspense very well... all in all.. a fair effort... writing and directing doesn't always work for everyone...

Paul Andrews The Entrance starts as Detective Porhowski (Sarah-Jane Redmood) is told that there is a man (Michael Eklund) waiting in an interview room to confess something, the man tells Porhowski that he was one of five men kidnapped the previous day & imprisoned in a room where they were made to play games with the losers being sacrificed. Detective Porhowski has a hard time believing him, she finds out that the man's name is Ryan & that he is a drug dealer but he disappears soon after. Then outside the police station he kidnaps Porhowski & says that it's all part of the game, a deadly game that Porhowski is now part of...This Canadian production was co-edited, written, co-produced & directed by Damon Vignale & at times The Entrance is an interesting little supernatural thriller while at other times it's an incoherent mess of a film. The script takes it's lead from Saw (2004) with it's idea of various sinners & criminals having to play games & if they lose they die, unlike Saw which was a horror thriller set in the real world with real people The Entrance puts a supernatural spin on things & introduces a 'fallen angel' called Baal-Berith who kills sinners for the Devil's pleasure or some such nonsense. The basic concept is really good & at times it's an intriguing & interesting take on the Saw premise but at other times it's a mess. It's far too ambiguous for my liking, as the end credits roll you will have many unanswered questions which I found very frustrating. The plot could have been great with Porhowski drawn into the deadly game, however it's a rather predictable plot twist that's easy to see coming & then there's a bizarre ending when Porhowski is attacked but she hadn't sinned so why did the Baal-Berith demon thing go after her? What happened to her dad? Ultimately The Entrance doesn't quite work, there's some nice ideas & an interesting basic concept but it looses it's way & ends up frustrating & when the end credits roll disappointing.Director Vignale does a decent job, sure he films everything in very muted blue grey colours like just about every other thriller ever made but at least he keeps the camera steady & the editing is as such so you can actually tell whats going on. It's also nice to see a horror thriller film where the entire cast of character's are adults rather than teenagers & there are some decent performances here. The gore is virtually zero, someone gets a cut on his head & trickle of blood but that's it. There's a werewolf type monster briefly seen at the start which then completely disappears, not sure why & what's up with that girl who throw's up at the start? The games the sinners are forced to play might have been a bit better & a little more dramatic too, I mean musical chairs & a game of bingo don't exactly set the pulses racing!Technically the film is good & well made with decent production values although the budget does show a little bit when some ancient powerful demon has to set his games & traps inside a multi storey Canadian parking garage! Apparently shot in Vancouver in British Columbia in Canada. The acting is good from a decent cast.The Entrance could have been a great little supernatural Saw style rip-off but it ends up missing the mark because of a slightly weak & underdeveloped script that leaves the viewer somewhat frustrated. I quite liked it for what it was but it could have been so much more.
