Simply A Masterpiece

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The Door, 2014 is written and directed by Patrick Mcbrearty, It is watchable, Spoiler Alert and plenty. In a nutshell, this is about the Warehouse from hell. It's also about kids making bad decisions.The middle section plays mind games, and the conclusion is over played, but while it lasts it has the elements of a good twilight zone.The budget could not have been very much, the sets are minimal, visual effects are few. Perhaps the very limitations and the stark sets, give the setting the creepy feeling it was shooting for. Story wise we have a good beginning; Owen played by Sam Kantor has to miss his girlfriends birthday party because of his new job as Security guard. His girlfriend Abby played by Winny Clark decides to bring her party with all his friends, to his place of work, On his first night-shift ? We know nothing good will come of this. There use to be a song called, "Green Door" (What's that secret you're keeping?) That is the main element here. Owen is suppose to be guarding a door, and make sure it doesn't open. that's his job. What's behind the door is a mysterious unknown. Naturally his friends led by Jess played by Alys Crocker, decide to find out. one eye rolling bad move after another! Mysterious things happen behind the door, we know because each character in the movie gets to say, "This place is F**k'ed Up" at least twice. Likewise each character gets seven chances each, to say, "Did you hear that?" and an equal number of, "No's" "We're not alone" is given only one go around per character. There is some "feeder fish" talk going on plot-wise, but the threat is never defined. seeing yourself doing something different then what others witness, is as strange as it gets, No complaints with the tech stuff, the soundtrack was clean, thankfully without the booming fright jump cues. Seven Stars for the "Good mood of mystery" (by the props guys)Out of Ten.

This is the kind of movie that tends to end up with a bunch of 10 star reviews from people involved with the movie and a bunch of 1 star reviews from people who watched it expecting a 10 star movie. This is not a 10 star movie BUT if you watch it with an open mind, it's surprisingly good! The acting and dialog is pretty much exactly as bad as you'd expect from a low budget movie like this but the concept and the story itself surprised me with how good it was. It rather reminded me of a good short story, they didn't over-complicate things, didn't over explain things, they just told a good story with minimal special effects and maximum horror.I'm not kidding about the low budget BTW, you could remake this entire movie using nothing but a half dozen of your friends, a rented warehouse and the assorted junk from your attic! Basically this movie showed what can be done with if you have an interesting story and nothing else.Basically it was pure elegance in its simplicity! Big budget movies could learn a thing or two by watching this one.

My first review, so be gentle :p ... Naah, abuse me all you want. First, my horror movie experience began in 1983 or so, with Faces of Death, thanks to my morbid brother. Since then my horror and suspense flick taste has brought me to using IMDb to quench my thirst for hidden gems.I liked the fact that it does a lot with nothing, basically. The filming is quality which makes up for a lot. When a movie looks like it was done on an old JVC VCR cassette camera and nobody bothered to clean up the video noise or level the audio I lose interest, unless its a documentary or done on purpose like a 'found footage' piece. Even then, you can see some effort to keep it flowing and 'movie'-ish. I lack the tech description for it, but it was a movie and not some toy store crap.That being said, it is a professional-looking piece. I always wanted to know what the antagonist was, but I didn't really care because I felt it was like finding the purpose to the game, is the purpose of the game. I hope they do a part II that includes some background to the Asian guy and the Warehouse, like Star Wars did the (end?) before the beginning.Sadly, when I saw 'As Above So Below' with all the hype I was pumped, but after that, if I had to buy a ticket again between the two, this is hands-down the choice, no question. That's my next review.Either way, as a stand-alone flick it is a satisfactory experience.

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.
