The girl next door, having coffee, lunch with a friend, shopping, unaware she is becoming an obsession. She has been chosen.
A young woman wakes to find herself imprisoned in the basement of a serial killer. She is not the first to be entrapped in this diabolical torture chamber. She is not the first to captivate his perverse affection, Herman has been searching for the perfect girl, but all he’s collected are pieces – a chunk of hair; a severed finger; a jar of blood – and now, the alluring and beautiful Rudy.
Imprisoned in a wooden cage and yet refusing to play along in his twisted game, she has only her wits to use against his savage and murderous insanity. Will she win the desperate, hallucinatory game of cat and mouse and escape through the Cellar Door, or die trying?

"The Cellar Door is a riveting and intense horror/thriller that delivers on all fronts, and make sure you get your hands on this Independent film that plays much bigger and better than any big budget Hollywood film in it's genre in recent memory. The cinematography is fantastic. The cast was just as impressive. Intelligent and gripping.” – angelfire.com/moviereviews "The Cellar Door is a smart, well-made thriller in a time when thrillers aren’t smart or well made. A brilliantly tense opening sequence. DuMont does a superb job with the character. Childlike one moment, terrifying the next—but always believable. Ms. Tomlinson is fascinating to watch in this role. A smart, taut exercise in psychological terror.” - screamTv.net "One of the best new horror films of 2007. Michelle Tomlinson’s groundbreaking performance in the girl-trapped-by-a-serial killer The Cellar Door has officially dubbed her the “Pretty/Scary One to Watch” for this year. Superb acting. What makes this film so amazingly engaging is the combination of intelligent dialogue and talented actors to deliver them. Rarely seen even in a big-budget Hollywood picture, there is a definite chemistry of character between Tomlinson's Michelle and DuMont's Herman. The Cellar Door looks great and has some really beautiful special effects. It's definitely a horror film of some substantial terror with the attention to detail and gorgeous set design. The Cellar Door belongs on the shelf next to all the other good new horror movies like SAW, Slither, and Open Water. Its way above Hostel when it comes to drama, and its light years beyond Captivity, Black Christmas, and The Hitcher remake when it comes to filmmaking.” - pretty-scary.net |
