Doorman

About This Movie

So, Doorman (1986) is this wild mix of comedy, crime, and horror that really tries to keep you guessing. The story kicks off with a doorman found with a broken neck, which seems pretty benign at first. But then, bam! It happens again and again, taking this quirky look at life in a swanky apartment building and flipping it upside down. The pacing is pretty interesting; it moves fast enough to keep you engaged but has these slow moments that really build the tension. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but there’s a charm to them that adds to the atmosphere. The performances—somewhat over the top—give it this unique vibe that makes it stand out in a sea of 80s horror. Definitely has a weird, off-kilter tone to it that’s worth exploring.

Keep an eye on the practical effects; they have a certain charm.The pacing oscillates nicely between tension and humor.Distinctive performances that add to the film's quirky vibe.
