This review is from: Door Into Silence (DVD)

There is no blood and gore in it, so it is not for zombie-fans at all. But for me there is a true feeling of identification with the main character.

Savage plays his role brilliantly. He is pitiful and sometimes I feel like I was trapped in this horrible situation instead of him. The masterfully shot sinister landscapes also made me real nervous. Maybe it seems strange, but in my opinion the atmosphere in the movie is the same as in Weir's "Picnic at Hanging Rock".

Sadly it is the last movie made by Fulci. Maybe he had a presentiment about his death and he somehow put it into his last work. Anyway "Door to silence" is another example of his versatile talent. Must see (not only for Fulci's fans)

I finally got around to seeing this excellently grim take on death by maestro Lucio Fulci 'DOOR INTO SILENCE' aka 'LA PORTA DEL SILENZIO'-1991 which resembles many an episode of past Television and Horror film forays by utilizing actor John Savage as an accident victim caught between the world of reality and afterlife. Almost a partial remake of Director Herk Harvey's classic 'CARNIVAL OF SOULS'-1962 which uses the Salt Lake City terrain for its canvas, here Fulci places Savage into pre-Katrina New Orleans as the cinematography by Giancarlo Ferrando weaves an unsettlingly eerie feel in each frame of the films 88 minute running time. It is the length which is its only flaw and yet Fulci never lets you take your eyes off the screen where the increasing nightmare of Savage's dilemma unfolds in a painfully poignant ballet of terror. Fulci turns off the gore and goes for good old fashioned atmospherics for his prophetic message on death 5 years before the grim reaper would take him after complications from diabetes. Almost collaborating with Director Dario Argento on 'WAX MASK' aka 'MASCHERA DI WAX' which would be completed by Makeup effects master Sergio Stivaletti in 1997, this film remains a beautiful swan song to an incredible career of haunting photoplays which incompassed every facet of Horror. Kudos to Severin films for releasing it in a beautiful full screen transfer in English , alas, there are no extras but its worth it for all Fulci completists and fans of subtle terror.

first off door into silence is not a gore film. if you are hoping for another bloody/gore film by the great lucio fulci then dont get this movie. instead door into silence is like a long twilight zone episode. it has mystery to it and at times is suspenseful. it doesnt drag too much and if you appreciate good horror and thrillers you'll be left feeling satisfied. underrated
