haunted house dictatorship torture found footage youtuber

Plot summary

Two working class youtubers ‘in the making’ enter an abandoned mansion to get their basketball back, and get lost inside while pranking each other. They record their ‘quick adventure’ with their phones for their audience, and tweak it with a fake phantom appearance to attract more followers to their YouTube channel. When uploaded the video goes viral, so they start a challenge: if the video reaches a certain number of views, they will enter the house again, at night, alone, totally unprotected. As fans react positively, they will do as promised, not only to discover and unveil the true nature of the place and their inhabitants, but to realize they might not be among the living anymore. Which opens a question - how far would you go to be famous?

Solid movie with a low budget. And Scary too!

Delivers what it promises - a simple plot with scary moments!I was really surprised with the looks and effects of this movie, it's all well done and convincing, doesn't look like a small production at all.The main location of the movie is perfect, it makes you really tense and creates a scary atmosphere for it along with an efficient soundtrack. We have tense moments and good jumpscares.The ending was disappointing, it simply doesn't explain anything about what happened at that house.The acting is kind of bad, a little exaggerated sometimes, but convincing enough to keep the movie interesting.Yes, the plot is cliché and we've seen it before, a found footage movie about people coming into an abandoned place. We all know what happens then, and also know how it ends, but it develops in an interesting way.

Starting the Movie Off with Homophobic Slurs is Never a Good Idea

"Do Not Enter" attempts to breathe new life into the genre with its unique setting and chilling atmosphere. However, it falls short in several areas.The film follows the story of two YouTubers who decide to spend a night in a haunted house. The house, with its dark history and eerie ambiance, is a character in itself, adding to the overall sense of dread and unease.One of the film's strengths lies in its jump scares. Cardozo masterfully crafts moments of genuine terror that will make even the most seasoned horror fans jump out of their seats. The use of sound and lighting to create tension is commendable, and the scares are well-timed and effective. These moments are the highlights of the film and showcase Cardozo's potential as a horror director.However, the film's characters are a major letdown. The two protagonists are unlikeable and make it difficult for the audience to root for them. Their actions and decisions often come across as irrational and frustrating, which detracts from the overall experience. In a genre where character empathy is crucial, "Do Not Enter" fails to deliver.Another significant issue with the film is its opening scene, which features verbal homophobic comments. This choice is not only in poor taste but also sets a negative tone for the rest of the movie. It feels unnecessary and out of place, alienating a portion of the audience right from the start. In an era where inclusivity and sensitivity are paramount, this misstep is glaring and detracts from the film's overall impact.The film's pacing is another area where it falters. While the jump scares are effective, the moments in between often drag, making the film feel longer than its runtime. The build-up to the scares is sometimes too slow, and the lack of character development makes these lulls even more noticeable. A tighter script and better pacing could have significantly improved the overall experience.Despite its flaws, "Do Not Enter" does have some redeeming qualities. The cinematography is impressive, especially considering the found footage format. The handheld camera work adds to the sense of realism and immersion, making the audience feel like they are part of the experience. The film's setting and atmosphere are also well-executed, creating a sense of claustrophobia and dread that lingers throughout.

Yes but...

Found footage movies always make me feel uncomfortable. In a good way, I feel extra horror than a regular horror film.The idea is simple, some people trying to succed on social media and they come into an abandoned house. We saw it many times but I felt curious about the idea of a non american movie.The main characters are annoying, specially the guy with pink hair. The sound effects are too high, while the voices are lower. Plus the accent they speak is too difficult to understand (i am a spanish native speaker) On the other hand, I can say that the movie reminds me a lot to the great "as above so below", the way that the ghosts appear and the incoherencies about the place are too similar.Give it a try, but this is not the best.
