Lovell T @Lovell Nov 2, 2026 Don't expect supernatural horror or true crime terror, albeit good looking cast. Lame acting, cliche dialog and glacier pacing render this an essentially movie length episode of daytime soap opera. See more

Oz S @Ozsoffy Oct 26, 2026 An intriguing concept, a mysterious house, and a forbidden cellar door. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a psychological thriller, right? Unfortunately, the ingredients never quite come together. The pacing is sluggish, the story lacks logic, and the characters make decisions that leave you questioning whether anyone involved has ever met a sensible human being. The biggest problem, though, is the acting. Something feels off about the lead performance, whether it's the delivery, the dialogue, or the script itself. The opening scenery is genuinely beautiful, but this is a film, not a postcard. Pretty landscapes can only do so much when the storytelling falls flat. The mystery might get you through the front door, but the execution leaves you wanting to escape through a window. See more

Marco L @decatur555 Oct 22, 2026 The film starts from a simple, effective hook: an apparently perfect house and one forbidden door. Vaughn Stein gets enough tension from that premise to keep the film moving, and Jordana Brewster and Scott Speedman make the growing distrust between the couple more interesting than the horror itself. Laurence Fishburne adds a useful sense of ambiguity, but the screenplay pushes some suspicions so obviously that experienced viewers will start looking elsewhere. The eventual shift works because it avoids the most routine answer, although I expected something much more radical. The film also piles on too many conflicts and never fully exploits the symbolic power of its central idea. Still, it is never boring, the pace is solid and curiosity carries it through. Entertaining and perfectly watchable, but not especially memorable once the final door has been opened. See more

Alexis O @RT96613062 Aug 25, 2026 Could have been way better but the end made it go from good to not that good for me. My wife hated it. I kinda liked it. Its a meh good for me, unsatisfied with the potential it had. See more

Sam T @TrustySam Aug 23, 2026 This movie was absolutely awful. It started off okay, but then you started to see the bad side of people ... and they actually kept getting worse and not better. You can't even believe how bad they - and the movie - get. I wish Netflix would show more movies with happy endings instead of movies with anti-social crazy weirdos like this one. Their movies lately have been unbelievable horrible. See more

amirah T @RT76325151 Jul 13, 2026 READ THIS !!!! Helloooo, so! This movie was a waste of time. Absolutely terrible. The plot stirred WAY to slow and mind you..the ending wasn’t even good. It was a waste of time, I could’ve done better things during that hour or 2 of the movie. I’ve never seen something so terrible in my life omg. Then..how is he gonna stay with his wife after that?, just a terrible ending and movie. SPOILERRR, I don’t think there was nothing in the cellar door to begin with because remember when this guy said it wasn’t about Emmett, it’s about what you hide, WHICH IS when the wife hid Alyssa. See?…long ahh plot for what. Terrible movie bro 💀 See more
