I can sum up this movie in 2 words. It Sucked!!! A total waste of time... The main character is a 20's something girl, who shares an apartment with another woman in an undisclosed city. She's slightly paranoid, has obvious anti social behavior, owns a dog and lives with a roommate who always seems to go out of town on the weekends. If I were a professor teaching "Film Making" I would definitely use this flick as an example of "How NOT to Make a Movie". This movie lacks the following basic criteria: 1. Plot, 2. Character development, 3. Meaningful dialog, 4. Transition, 5. Relationships 6. Action, 7. Sensible climax.Bottom line, you would derive more pleasure from watching paint dry.

There are a lot of shills on this board giving this high marks. That's one thing I can say. Are you all friends and family of the filmmakers?To those of you discussing the masterful composition of shots: where? Shots go on for far too long to get them up to feature length, everything could and should have been trimmed drastically on both the head and tail ends. This is essentially a student film. I say this, having been a film student myself and able to recognize the repetition, non-existent pacing and lack of plot that passes for a senior year project. The fact that it took four people to write this is shameful; I wouldn't have advertised the fact that even with four 'writers' working on this there's essentially nothing happening at all.The lead is not a very good actress, she's not compelling to watch and her line delivery is pretty bad. There's a bit cribbed from Fatal Attraction where the lead switches a bedside lamp on and off post empty sexual encounter to symbolize her alienation, my response to this was a resounding 'who cares?' Shot in and around Silverlake and Los Feliz, the only fun to be had is spotting your local landmarks. I'm sure there were lots of excited story discussions in just the right tone of voice so that the other diners knew they were making a film over glasses of red wine at--hmm. I'll take a guess and say it was at Alcove on Hillhurst, though Intelligentsia probably got hit hard too. The 'shocking' ending doesn't make it any good, so don't count on it saving the day. It was probably conceived of as a short and should have stayed that way. How do you rebar two people together? Another rip, this time from a Friday the 13th film, by the way, though I can't remember which one. And I don't know too many hipsters who keep an axe in or around their houses, either. Maybe the killer brought it with him to the party in the back of his Prius. Laughably bad. P.S. It's a blue heeler, not a blue 'healer'. Did you want me to think your protagonist was stupid as well as utterly boring?

This isn't so much a movie, but an experiment. Student film, if you will.I will do my best not to "spoil" anything that happens, or doesn't, in Entrance. For, this has been recommended to me several times, and not one thing about it has been revealed, other than it might be a "horror" film and that "it's one of the best of the year."Allow me to assure you: it's neither of those. Eh, it's horror if you're a Paranormal Activity buff that absolutely loves hand-held cameras shooting absolutely nothing happening for roughly the first 85% of the film. Okay, to be fair, much like Paranormal Activity, minute things happen, but since that's been played out in four of those Paranormal films alone, it's no longer original, nor effective. And secondly, it's not the best of any year.It's a ho-hum account of a nameless girl (Karen Baird) who we get to "gleefully" see shower, brush her teeth, feed the dog, walk down the street, make coffee two times in the morning, converse with her roommate, talk with a boy-with-a-crush and drink wine…daily. We see this so many times, I lost count on how many days progressed in this unnamed location.Then, suddenly, with 17 minutes of footage to spare, the movie finally finds its footing.Again, no spoilers, but this final minutes are what the movie is about and you'll have to drudge through over an hour of a YouTube video to get to it.You must have patience with a project like this. You must not have seen any of the many films, including the Paranormal Activity series, that feature the nothing-nothing-bump-nothing-something screenplays. And you must like $5 art-house movies that rely on the public's ignorance on cinema.I will give the movie some credit: the scenes in the third act are effective and the performance of the nameless lead character is actually decent. I hope to see her use this stint on her resume. The rest of the no-names can handle the boom microphones from here out.

I can't talk about this movie without talking about Ti West. He's a current, indie horror director who does "slow-burn" movies. He creates real, normal characters. He shows us their lives, but with a little menace in the background, almost imperceptible. Then there's a huge pay-off, which brings the movie to an end. Out of all his movies, "Trigger Man" best exemplifies this. "Entrance" takes this formula, and does it at least as well as Ti West. Build-up, character development, minutiae. Then it hits you at the end.Like "Trigger Man," half the comments on IMDb/netflix are from people who hated the movie. These people have no taste. They're dumb. Ignore them."Entrance" is insanely good.
