Well, what can I say. I am going to try to be honest here... "The Doorway" is your typical cheesy b horror film, but has flashes of intelligence. Its more of a black comedy & takes a few interesting turns. The characters actually try to think, & make some wise choices, ie running out of the house when an evil demon comes after them. They only return to the house by force from outside people.

The acting is decent. Some stronger than others. And the effects are reasonably effective. You could do worse on a Friday night. Add "The Doorway" to your cheesy b horror film night, itll please.

Scheiders first film role was in a forgettable horror film in 1963 called Curse of the Living Corpse.

In 1975, Scheider starred in Jaws & in 1978 its first sequel. In 1979, he broke the tough-guy stereotype he had found himself in by starring as musical theater director Joe Gideon in Bob Fosse s autobiographical movie All That Jazz, for which he was nominated for Best Actor. Scheider has continued to make movies through the years & also starred in the Steven Spielberg -produced television series SeaQuest DSV. Posters Of The Doorway
