Featured review
What we have here is, effectively, a found footage film, about the making of a documentary about a found footage film.
So...a little bit of found footage inception, I guess you could say.
The story revolves around, well...a door.
A door that, each time you open it, leads to an alternate dimension.
We find ourselves following two young women, who have set out to investigate the disappearance of another woman named Emily, who went through the door...and was never seen or heard from again.
The door is freestanding.
So, as part of their investigation, the women bring it home to their apartment.
Which is when stuff starts getting inexplicably weird.
As it marks their foray into the otherworldly.
Emily had been with her friend, Brian, when she went through the freestanding door.
Only to completely disappear after having passed through it.
Leaving Brian with no other option than to post the video of her disappearance onto youtube.
Which is where the two women find it.
And decide to make a documentary on the subject.
Which is what leads them to find the door, and bring it home with them.
After which they proceed to use it to go to and from a series of different dimensions, in search of Emily.
Only to be led, through the looking glass, down a series of weird rabbit holes.
That ultimately culminates with a somewhat violent conclusion.
Unfortunately...while the concept here is intriguing enough...the narrative is incredibly incohesive.
There's just too much going on...and it ends up coming off as kind of random.
Sure, the overarching narrative is detectable at the beginning and the end of the film.
But the middle section is too disconnected from it...and kills the flow of the storyline.
I've got to give them props for their ambition, though.
Because what they tried to achieve, with the budget they clearly had, is laudable.
But it's just too convoluted to keep you engaged.
So it ends up being a bit of a fail.
But God bless them for trying.
2 out of 10.
