Red Door (2009)

- written January 2009

Summary: Todd is trapped in an office doing the same usual job. Except today is a different day as he contemplated his future and his past, with a locked red door in his room, that he’s never dared open up. Until Today. And it might be his last day…ever.           Overall: It’s a short film that really gives us something to think about as we try to figure out what’s going with the “red door.” The film is about colors and temptation and what this man has been missing. We don’t get too much information other than the man’s wife is dead, murdered and Todd feels guilty. I think the film is very open and wants you to try and put the pieces together. We just know that this job maybe isn’t as simple as it looks…that our HR lady isn’t as bland and safe as she originally appears. Bottom line is something is going on, and it’s up to us to get freaked out by it. I liked the movie. It keeps you guessing. It’s open to enough interpretation to make you want to watch it a few more times, and being a short film makes that an easy accomplishment. I’d like to see more from Mr. Pike!           Comparison: Jacob’s Ladder meets Office Space
