1.5/4

With less textbook dedication to its metaphors and more sleight of hand in its structure, “Cellar Door” would accomplish the tension it intends, but its bland approach fails to inspire investment.

Vaughn Stein’s thriller is too simplistic and implausible to provide any chills. But despite some lurid eventual plot elements, it’s also too blandly slick in a TV-movie mode to offer much trashy fun.

…somehow Cellar Door just ends up just ruining the evening of anyone who watches this anticlimactic film….audience disapproval ratings suggest that everyone who sees this movie feels as comprehensively rooked as I did…

2/5

What starts out as a provocative idea for a movie soon turns into a soggy soap opera, focusing on ill-behaved characters and loosening its suspenseful grip to the point of nothingness.

A very long journey to a disappointing end. You’d think a movie called cellar door would at least see the thing opened at some point.

Absolutely shocking. I’ve had more fun sat watching paint dry for an hour and a half. Film about a cellar door and no one even opens it. Big royal waste of my time. It’s taken years off my life. Worst film I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched some rubbish in my life. Furious.

Ive learnt a very valuable lesson from this film....check reviews before every single film! I took a shot...i missed! Seriously I thought id just jump in the deep end and watch a film without doing the reviews in fear of ruining it with spoilers...only thing spoiling this film was the film itself. An hour and a half of treading water only to wana drown myself at the end. Cellar door...what was in it? Why was noone allowed to open it? What was its relevance? ....noone knows...the cellar door was the entire base of this film...the films named cellar door...yet it couldn't of been anymore irrelevant to the film. Every now and then they got tempted to open it,and thats literally as far as the main character(the door) was involved. Had a pretty make over at the end with a few flowers... I will recommend this to people as a joke, or to waste their time if I dont particularly like them.
