Min anoigeis tin porta (2024)
Descent for what it is...
The horror genre is not very developed in Greece, even though it has a huge following in the country. It's not exaggerated to say that this movie is a great step towards the direction to change that. Technically speaking, the result is admirable. The cinematography, the sound effects, the music, even the performances of the protagonists (considering that only Foteini Levogianni is an actual actress) are, unexpectedly, at a very high level.
On the other hand, one might say that the plot lacks depth and fails to guide the viewer through the Black Forest with all the urban legends that accompany it, which would turn out to be an extremely efficient asset to transmit the preferable emotions to the audience.
In conclusion, it's important to bear in mind that this movie was made by a small group of people (7), Unboxholics, with no prior experience on making movies of such scale. For what it is, "Don't Open the Door" sets an example for future attempts to introduce the horror genre to Greek cinema.
