    Low

    "19 Doors" is a so-called horror film that repeatedly mocks a young female character for being "limited" and/or "retarded."

    And the abuse comes from the main female protagonist.

    "I guess I don't have to tell you to clear your mind, do I?" she says to the girl while using a Ouija board.

    That's the filmmakers' idea of comedy relief?

    This was included in a 10-movie box-set that sold for $3.75. The price was still too high.

    Greatest. Horror. Movie. Ever.

    "19 Doors" is the most profoundly terrifying horror movie I have ever seen. The story of a writer living in a haunted hotel for inspiration was so refreshingly original, just reading the plot summary sent chills down my spine.

    Although it might not be noticeable, this film is a lower budget film than your larger Hollywood horror greats like "The Wicker Man" or "Lake Placid", but what the producers squeezed out of their lower budget was pure gold.

    The special effects of the movie alone blew me away. The makeup was so tediously perfected that anytime a ghost appeared on screen, I jumped. The acting was more convincing than when I'm actually talking to another human being. And the scares were so horrifying, I had nightmares for weeks.

    If this movie is not in your personal collection, it should be. Finding yourself a copy shouldn't be difficult, considering how absolutely amazing this movie is.

    I made an account just to write this review!

    So me and my husband decided to have a corny low budget terrible horror movie night and this was one of the movies in the walmart 3$ big box of horror and boy were we not disappointed! It was soooooo bad it was amazing!!!! I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. The acting was the worst. The costumes and ghosts were terrible and the plot was absolutely confusing and random. All I can say to convince you to watch it (at least for the laughs) is in one scene she gets attacked by a tall grisly white hit

    guy with a grey beard and a black hood and when telling the detective about her attacker she says "he was black" ..... I laughed so hard, I don't even think she knew what was going on during the movie much like we didn't. Worth every $
