Door 3

Just recently the first two Door films were finally made available in the West, Kurosawa's part 3 already got a little love before. That's name recognition for you. It's not the greatest horror film in the world, but it's a solid one, with some moody scenes and references to both Ringu and Cronenberg. Not too shabby for an old Kurosawa film.

Kyo is an ambitious saleswoman who goes from door to door to try and sell insurance. She's very good at her job, but it gets her into serious trouble when she visits a man who shows more interest in Kyo than he does in the goods she sells. Before she knows it she has a stalker on her tail. And as it turns out, he's not just any old stalker.

The film looks its age and the setup is quite simple, though there are a few minor but interesting twists. But for the most part, this is Kurosawa going through the genre motions, with the result being pretty entertaining regardless. Some tense moments and the obligatory Ren Osugi cameo add a little extra flair, so if you're looking for solid genre filler, you can't go wrong with this one.
