Leofwine_draca CALEB'S DOOR is an indie mystery/thriller with horror elements. The story follows the protagonist, a low key David Boreanaz lookalike, as he visits a small town that he left years before. He chats to pretty much all of the townsfolk and tries to solve various mysteries that have been plaguing him over the years. The pace is so slow that it feels like this film goes on forever, and that's not a good thing.

cjmoloney I saw this movie because of the absolutely CRAZY review a Norwegian guy posted here. My favorite part - of the review not the movie - was when he compared it to a Polish movie from the 1970s... Is that even a reference? Anyway, I was disappointed to see the movie was nowhere near as bad as the review made it out to be and was, in fact, pretty good.The premise of the film is interesting and the actors and director all do capable jobs.I'm not sure what the guy from Norway was expecting from a low-budget thriller, but it's definitely a good way to spend an evening.

noenda-2 Caleb's Door is an adventurous first film that explores ways to record inner sensibility on film. Its likable and well played main character, Caleb, who strives to be a writer, is plagued by problems that will strike a chord with anyone familiar with today's news. Writer-Director Arthur Vincie doesn't go for the familiar happy ending, but instead paints a real (if imaginative) picture of a soul in distress, a soul that refuses to surrender to despair, regardless of the burden of his suffering. Vincie probes the roles of family and religion, as well as the effects of social climate on the sensitive person. He asks some probing questions about the power of love to heal as well as to hurt. Well worth a look. We'll hear from Vincie again.

Kellie Stewart This movie is about a want-to-be writer that can't seem to write and starts suffering from nightmares that involve a red door. He decides to take a friend up on the offer to apartment sit while the friend is out of town. He works at temp agencies and we learn that at one time he was a marine, which really added nothing to the story as a whole. People that he once felt close to have moved on with their lives, and not in ways Caleb is happy with. Through his nightmares he sees things involving these friends and in reality they are affected. At first I thought this movie was a spin on Jacob's Ladder because it skipped from one scene to the next and it all had no tangible meaning. Ultimately, Caleb realizes why he's having the dreams and deals with it. It was a very slow and boring movie. The only good scenes were the ones in which Caleb cried. Otherwise, he seemed a bit deadpan. Not all facets of the story tie themselves together well. I wish someone had warned me not to bother watching this movie before I wasted my time watching it.
