Chatter, chatter, chatter, and really? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Why is this still happening in 2013? The film is frankly bad, but maybe there are things that will pull it out of the hole. Doors is a 2013 film based on true events. It touches on the subject of many known deadly files. The plot tells about a video from YouTube, after watching which, a person soon dies. Why this is happening is unclear. The main character is a loser, who left his wife and hates his son. Hell, I'd give an Oscar to a movie that doesn't have that stamp. He works as a radio announcer and hosts nighttime broadcasts, takes calls and hammers empty airtime with chatter. One day, a guy calls him and says that shadows have come for him. Naturally, he offers to tell him the problem to a psychiatrist and laughs at him, despite the fact that the guy is desperate and clearly needs help. The conversation ends with a shot. The next day it turns out that the guy shot at the wall, he was taken to the hospital, where he died in his sleep. For a reporter, this was a reason to get involved in the investigation of this accident. Well, enough with you spoiler, although I’m not sure that many will watch the film to the end, but come on.
In fact, this film is a full-length debut of Matthew Arnold, before that he was known for the short film “The Resurrection of Mary”, apparently, when he was told that he was a director from God, he was not told that he should start with simpler objects, and things like hard color correction, noir, nudity, it is better not to touch until you gain enough experience, that’s where they are in their infancy. The main enemies of the shadow? Whatever! They did not manifest themselves here, what are their motives and goals unknown, who are they and how to get rid of them? Who knows her? All we know about them is that they are shadows. And whose, by what principle they choose victims and how to defeat them does not matter.
I also note that the film is full of chatter and over time it just starts to infuriate. Because of this chatter, it is difficult to watch the film and, in addition to the chatter of the actors, we are shown the real participants in the incident with a YouTube video known as “Doors” (In narrow and not very well known circles). But one question, why? After watching a horror movie with strange interviews, are we supposed to believe in the Crippie files? I doubt it very much.
Acting game, a separate topic about which you can write indefinitely. I will say one thing, it is both terrible and beautiful. First of all, there are not only no stars, there are no good actors. Actors like to invest emotions in replicas, but they get to convey the characters and personalities of their heroes worse than microsoft to make browsers. Can you name one reason why we should empathize with a fat, nasty, always-smoking American? Although he is quite kind in nature, in horror films, the external content often plays a greater role than the internal. “Friday the 13th” is a cult horror movie, but there are so poor characters that you can only empathize with Jason, that’s where it’s difficult to empathize with someone. Although the son of the hero was able to remember, once again the child played better than adults.
Again, the technical side is terrible. Color correction, camera work, editing, everything is terrible and it is extremely difficult to look at it.
The film is not for everyone, hardly anyone can argue. It also leaves a lot of questions.
