The Door is a short ghost story film directed by Becky Matthews and starring Tom Moule and Estelle Shutkever. The film follows a struggling writer named James who moves into a new flat in London with his girlfriend, Chloe. Despite the flat being small and dark, James sees the potential for a new beginning and for inspiration to strike. However, he soon realizes that there is something sinister lurking behind a locked door in the flat.

James becomes increasingly fixated on the door and its contents, much to the chagrin of Chloe. He starts to experience strange occurrences, like unexplained knocks and bumps in the night. He becomes convinced that there is something on the other side of the door, and begins to obsess over it, to the point of neglecting his relationship.

As the tension builds, James becomes more and more unhinged. He begins to have vivid nightmares and hallucinations. Meanwhile, Chloe tries to convince him that the door is just a symbol for his fear of failure as a writer. But James won't be dissuaded, and he begins to spiral out of control.

One night, while Chloe is away, James finally gets his chance to unlock the door. What he finds inside is beyond his worst nightmares. From that moment on, James is consumed by the door and its secrets. He becomes a shell of his former self, barely functioning as a human being.

The Door is a chilling exploration of madness and obsession, wrapped in a ghost story. The film is beautifully shot, and the performances are top notch. Tom Moule is particularly effective as the troubled writer, bringing a nuanced and sympathetic performance to a difficult role. Estelle Shutkever is great as Chloe, providing a grounded counterpoint to James' increasingly erratic behavior.

The film is expertly crafted, with a slowly building sense of dread that culminates in a truly terrifying climax. The Door is a haunting and atmospheric ghost story, with an emotional core that will resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with their own demons.
