1.5/4

With less textbook dedication to its metaphors and more sleight of hand in its structure, “Cellar Door” would accomplish the tension it intends, but its bland approach fails to inspire investment.

Vaughn Stein’s thriller is too simplistic and implausible to provide any chills. But despite some lurid eventual plot elements, it’s also too blandly slick in a TV-movie mode to offer much trashy fun.

2/5

What starts out as a provocative idea for a movie soon turns into a soggy soap opera, focusing on ill-behaved characters and loosening its suspenseful grip to the point of nothingness.

Not that great, but not that bad. It could have been so much more than what it turned out to be. If only someone knew how to write a story?!

The movie was good for what it was, a thriller! I thought it could've really benefitted from a stronger actress in the lead role. Jordana Brewster just didn't give enough range for the character. But the story was pretty tight. Nice philosophical discourse on what makes a home.
