    Movie is frustrating.

    The security guard kid that I can't remember his name at the moment has an easy job to watch a door. About 90% of this movie could of been avoided if he did his job. The Jess character is the type of person that will aggravate you since they think they're right and you must listen to them at all times. This character annoyed me the most due to the I'm a bad ass know it all attitude. Through out the whole movie I was like dam this movie could of been done in 2020 and I can see SJWs do the same dumb things. In short, everyone in this movie deserves what they got. The security guard mantra in this whole movie should of been ignorance is bliss and never let friends come to his job.

    Surprisingly good!

    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.

    The Door is one of those you will either like it or hate it movies. It a reasonably good low budget horror movies but its weaknesses do show.

    The cast of characters are all your typical, too dumb to live stereotypes that every modern horror movies seems to have. The characters are not really likable and I found myself not caring who lived and who did not.

    The story, a unemployed man gets a job guarding a door. But what dwells behind it.

    Of course his girlfriend turns up with their buddies and hijinks ensure.

    The movie is not bad, but it does not really do anything new or original. The acting is okay and the setting is a creepy one. A huge empty warehouse, what let the movie down, is that it takes too long to get to the meat of the story.

    Still, what was reasonably entertaining just not memorable.

    Excellent premise

    I really enjoyed this. It's an incredibly interesting and creepy premise with plenty of room to grow. It feels like, though, once the movie got going they didn't really know exactly what to do with it or how to really convey what they were shooting for. Overall, good movie and I have no real complaints.

    Boring!

    OMG this is a jumbled, boring mess. I found myself falling asleep with about 30 minutes left. I have no idea how it ends and don't care; that's how bad this is.
