Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Fantastic!

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I saw this film having a pretty average rating but because I enjoy Sci- fiction I thought I'd watch it. It was much better than I expected.It's very simple but at the same time very powerful with a strong message. It has a very exciting and unpredictable story, which makes it even better as it holds you to the very end. Apart from that, the story flows and builds up very well getting you to think about what could happen next.Apart from that, I have to mention great acting, bringing every detail of emotions to the screen through out the film. Would definitely recommend this for Sci-fiction fans.9/10

A fantasy and horror movie which does not rely on special effects,gore and monsters is a blessing in these days.Although ,it takes a certain time to take off,the movie is finally gripping ;its subject borrows from two very good (and sometimes a little overlooked) movies of the sixties:-John Frankenheimer's "seconds" ,in which Rock Hudson is given a second chance at life from a secret organization. -Robert Parrish's "journey to the far end of the sun" aka " Doppelgänger" ,the second title says it all: a parallel world in which everything is reversed . I won't mention "matrix" which came much later."Die Tür" brings these elements all back home and is worth watching:his hero discovers by chance a door which opens the gate of a new world ,and thus finds the opportunity of saving his drowned daughter for he's taken five years back;but the price to pay is hard and he will not live happily ever after:in this nightmarish world,the values are inverted (see the police).And for once,the ending does not disappoint,for it may be a happy (or unhappy) end according to your own sensibility.

The premise of this story is so utterly ridiculous, that you rapidly appreciate that it can go in any direction. Whatever the writers choose to pursue as the actual tale, is entirely their right.What they do pursue, is a tense little drama based around the situation that the magic creates. The result is a dark, edgy, occasionally morbid fairy tale - one could argue that all fairy tales are like that anyway.Mads gives his usual beautiful-teak performance (I'm sure the man has more than one act... then again, I don't really care if he does), and the supporting cast, particularly the wife and daughter, are excellent.I did like the way the story gets on top of you, and accelerates. There is a story by Charles Stross that this movie reminds me of, but I can't give you the name without spoiling (it's also not one of his better tales I'm afraid).Where I could possibly knock off points would be maybe in the logic, but then this isn't an SF tale, it's fantasy. It's also a little long for the tale it tells, it could have been just a bit more compressed for the content. Finally, it's just not a work that moved me - it's good, it's gripping, it's entertaining. But it's not high art.I can recommend this film, just don't expect it to blow your mind.

I enjoyed very much this movie as it was a blend between dark and fantasy. The actors fitted the roles and I liked the game between the "old" and "new" characters. What I liked the most was the fact that the movie was not predictable and had a touch of sensibility, which most movies nowadays tend to miss. As an European movie I recommend it without hesitation and the thriller part was blended perfectly with the dark story. As a minor observation I can add that the story could have gone a bit darker without fading away the sensibility of the father- daughter relationship. In this light, I think the movie can be improved, but the written part on which is based I think succeeds as a story. So if you want a quality movie, with an imaginative story and good actors, this is the right movie for you.
