About this event
A housewife named Yasuko lives with her husband and young son in a high‑rise apartment, where a persistent door‑to‑door salesman begins to harass her after she accidentally injures him trying to keep him outside. The unwanted encounters quickly escalate into threatening phone calls, disturbing messages on her front door, and a growing sense that her everyday life is slipping into paranoia and danger. As the salesman’s behaviour becomes more unsettling, the tension widens into a nightmarish battle for control of her own home. This 1988 Japanese horror thriller builds dread out of ordinary life disrupted by obsession and intrusion, moving from quiet unease to increasingly intense scenes of psychological and physical threat. Known for its raw atmosphere and relentless pacing, Door has become a cult rediscovery for fans of classic J‑horror rooted in fear that starts at the threshold of home.
