Caleb's Door

This movie is about a want-to-be writer that can't seem to write and starts suffering from nightmares that involve a red door. He decides to take a friend up on the offer to apartment sit while the friend is out of town. He works at temp agencies and we learn that at one time he was a marine, which really added nothing to the story as a whole. People that he once felt close to have moved on with their lives, and not in ways Caleb is happy with. Through his nightmares he sees things involving these friends and in reality they are affected. At first I thought this movie was a spin on Jacob's Ladder because it skipped from one scene to the next and it all had no tangible meaning. Ultimately, Caleb realizes why he's having the dreams and deals with it. It was a very slow and boring movie. The only good scenes were the ones in which Caleb cried. Otherwise, he seemed a bit deadpan. Not all facets of the story tie themselves together well. I wish someone had warned me not to bother watching this movie before I wasted my time watching it.

For starters, this was NOT worth the 20$ i payed for this movie. Come to think of it, I looked forward to seeing this because the review on it was OK, and I thought the plot sounded interesting. This movie I'll vote grade C, but only just. It is by far one of the worst movie I've ever seen. Bad acting and a plot that doesn't live up to it's potential; at all. Throughout the movie it also is way to little scenery and it gets more and more boring as it goes on. It actually reminds me of Polish movies from the 70's... Say no more!

I seriously considered stop watching about half through the movie. I just can't believe I ruined my evening by sitting through the whole thing...

Stay as far away from this one! I beg you all not to waste your time!

I saw this movie because of the absolutely CRAZY review a Norwegian guy posted here.

My favorite part - of the review not the movie - was when he compared it to a Polish movie from the 1970s... Is that even a reference?

Anyway, I was disappointed to see the movie was nowhere near as bad as the review made it out to be and was, in fact, pretty good.

The premise of the film is interesting and the actors and director all do capable jobs.

I'm not sure what the guy from Norway was expecting from a low-budget thriller, but it's definitely a good way to spend an evening.

The only reason I watched this "presentation", to the end, was to see if there was any redeeming value at all. There wasn't!

Unfortunately, I didn't read any reviews before wasting time on an amateurish effort by everyone involved with Calebs Door. Acting, direction, scenery, props--all score zero on a scale of one to ten. Hopefully, these comments will save other viewers from a mind-numbing journey through insipidity.

If you decide to ignore this warning, be prepared for a soap opera treatment of a disjointed, lame storyline that beats you over the head with blatant morality. Both the writer/director and producer seem to take some special glee in insulting the intelligence of the viewer.
