    What a waste of potential!

    This movie had almost all it takes to make it a really creepy movie. BUT what a waste of time. The leading man had the IQ of a 6 year old. He is hired to do the simplest of jobs possible. Sit on chair, keep eye on door, don't let anyone in. (Except when the boss calls and tells you it's okay to open it.) Pals decide to visit him and have a party because girlfriend wants to be with him on his very first day in the job. Then they walk around, guess what happens. It had the right atmosphere, and the creepy location but I was ready to fall asleep thanks to the plot. Most repeated sentence: "Did you hear that?" Answer: mostly NOT. It got interesting at the end but by then I was sick and tired of the movie.

    Fun creepy low budget horror

    This takes a simple but interesting premise and then manages do something both fun and creepy with it. The main character need a job, he gets offered a job guarding a door, making sure it never opens, seems simple right? But what's behind the door, why can't people come opt after 2 minutes, and what will happen after house friends turn up and end up being forced to investigate what's behind the door.

    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.

    Good idea, poor execution.

    This is a solid idea for a story, and the movie even started out pretty good, but they made some very big mistakes. Some of the things that the characters say and actions they take don't make sense for that character. Some of the lines of dialogue are obvious mistakes, as if the writer/director wrote new lines for some scenes and when they put everything together the pieces just didn't fit. The actors appear to be waiting for the next line of dialogue to be given to them, and often miss the emotions they are supposed to be portraying.

    This movie feels more like a college project or a group of friends trying to make some money off of a good idea, but when it comes down to it they missed the mark. On that level it was okay, but in my opinion it wasn't a good movie.

    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.
