Door, an extremely rare home invasion slasher movie from 1988 that has never been screened outside of Japan and has just been remastered, is making its way to SCREAMBOX tomorrow!
In the film, “A lonely housewife is held hostage in her own apartment by an increasingly deranged door-to-door salesman in this forgotten home invasion masterpiece.”
Directed by Banmei Takahashi, the story behind Door is extremely interesting.
Many of you may remember Director’s Company, a Japanese production company from 1982-1992 that was made up of many legends of Japanese cinema including Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Sogo Ishii, Shinji Somai, and others.
They made many amazing Japanese films but also broke ground for genre cinema in Japan including the cult classic Evil Dead Trap. Before Evil Dead Trap they made the first Giallo film in Japan… Door. Interestingly, Kiyoshi Kurosawa directed the film’s sequel!
The final 20 minutes are bonkers… trust us!!
