Never Open the Door (2014) Reviews

• Awful

  davejessop-12016-12-15

  Whoever added the Hitchcock and Twilight Zone tags to this should be ashamed of themselves. The film is a total mess - lots of shouting and repetitive dialogue - the worst being one annoying character repeating "what are you doing?" over and over, maybe 7 or 8 times - a lot of scenes were overly long, especially one where one of the guys was just screaming over and over again. The music was too loud and overbearing and seems to be some sort of Indiana Jones/Omen hybrid. It was a decent idea but poorly executed, poorly acted and I for one am glad it was only 64 minutes long and, even better, it didn't cost me a penny although I'd like my 64 minutes back.

• I really don't know. So nicely weird.

  I really don't know if I liked this movie or not. It's only 1 hour long but the time passed so fast. I really enjoyed it without pause it for any reason. The sound mixing is awful because the music was louder than the dialogue but the score is pretty good and kept me into the mood of the movie. The shots are actually great but maybe it is the B&W that fools you. It is one of the weirdest movies I've seen in a good way. There is something with this movie similar to "Coherence" which by the way it's an excellent film. The acting and the dialogue are not good but I gave it 9/10 because I wasn't bored at all in general. I just wanted to see what's gonna happen in the end. I think the writers wanted to make a movie that make no sense and luckily it is an enjoyable movie. If you are looking for a descent movie to watch, then this is not your film. But if you are looking for something really weird for no reason, this is your movie.

• Everything wrong with modern horror

  Joey63272017-01-19

  I have never written a review before but felt the need to after watching this. How this movie has so many up-votes is absolutely beyond me. My mind is blank trying to think of worse acting and dialogue than this. Please, for your own sake, watch something else. After four out of seven characters are dead, three are still debating whether to stay in the house all night or not and go back to dinner. LOL. The only reason to watch this is if you enjoy cheap horror flicks for the laugh and entertainment, because that is all you will get with this one. There are many good films made with little to no budget, but that should not be an excuse for creating garbage. I am just trying to fill up ten lines to post this thing now. Maybe the actors asked everyone they see to up-vote this movie they are in and that's the reason it's big, that is the only explanation.

• I'll be there in a minute

  A group of six friends gets together for a feast. They have conversations about a wedding and a pregnancy. A large banging happens at the door...an injured man falls into the house when the door is opened. He vomits on Tess and dies. After the shower scene, the film gets weird as the guests appear possessed and there are MIB standing outside as observers. The hour-long feature is done in black and white. It is similar to a Twilight Zone episode and fails to give you real closure. Guide: F-word, nudity (Jessica Sonneborn )

• Excellent Old School Horror

  Indyrod2017-01-04

  I just loved this black and white horror winner, just over an hour long. This may include some spoilers, but nothing that would ruin the movie in any way. Three couples get together for a dinner in a remote house, and start arguing kind of making you not care about any of them. But, out of the blue, an old guy pounds on the front door, interrupting their rather boring dinner, all bloody and his last words are "Never Open the Door", which freaks out everybody. As He comes through the door He pukes up some blood on one of the ladies, and everything goes to Hell from there. Chaos takes over, nobody trusts anybody, and on top of that, their's some weird people or whatever they are, right outside the home. Soon, everything that seemed pretty normal, goes almost into the Sci-Fi zone, as nothing is as it seemed before. I loved the conclusion, which reminded Me of several movies, and nothing You've seen before, either happened, or is happening again but in a different dimension which is not exactly clear. Nevertheless, this is classic horror, with a touch of sci-fi mixed, and all in just over an hour. I found it very entertaining, and even worth multiple viewings, and being filmed in B&W was an added element, which fitted this movie very very well. Check it out, definitely worth the 65 minutes running time.
