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.

I really liked this movie a lot, inspired a lot of conversation which is what I look for in movies. However, I felt like I was left with a lot of unanswered questions and haven't been able to find any additional sources to answer them. The movie just seemed to end sort of abruptly and there were a lot of different aspects that could have been further explored. If a sequel is made explaining more than I will definitely be a proud owner. The movie did seem to have a lot of depth, the suspense was drawn out at an optimal pace, and there were enough subplots to really keep me intrigued. Anytime I thought I knew what was happening or what was about to happen, I was wrong. I enjoyed trying to figure everything out as the movie went along.

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.

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.

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.
