Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Sam Panico Boris has just been released from jail and has been agreed to do just one more heist - rob the mansion of paraplegic millionaire Lord Breston, who just so happens to be his ex-girlfriend Wendy's boss. That's the simplest explanation for a movie that is so much more. This piece of Canadian strangeness was directed by B. D. Benedikt, who is also the "inventor of a brand new literary style, popularly called RELIGIOUS THRILLERS. But instead of OUR SPIES over-smarting THEIR SPIES, the invisible GOD's and SATAN's agents fight for our souls!"Boris is played by Lazar Rockwood, whose name is nearly as amazing as his screen presence. It's as if someone got a time machine and went back in time after saying, "You think Tommy Wiseau is strange? How my Molson."Seriously, Lazar is something else. So few of the things that he says are comprehensible to Western ears. He seems nervous and fidgety on screen, yet the things he mumbles and screams (yes, at the same time) are gloriously repeatable. He's also wearing the finest Canadian tuxedo ever.Our hero has been convinced by his ex-girl that her boss's house would be easy to break into. However, when they sneak into the basement a few days later, a door slams shut behind them and a loudspeaker says that they must make their way past seven doors and through six chambers of elaborate deathtraps and deadly puzzles. That said - if they survive - they will gain the reward of their dreams.So imagine if Indiana Jones was in a movie made by David Lynch with little to no budget, shot like a TV movie and with a virtual unknown in the lead instead of Harrison Ford. Now, ingest as many drugs as you can find in your home. There - you have a small idea of what this movie is like.Can Boris make it through the various deathtraps? Will it have an insane ending? Are the extras on the disk even weirder than the movie itself? You'll have to get the DVD yourself.

danreguly Lazar Rockwood. An actor. A star. A sex object. A God? While he portrayed the somewhat clumsy, absent-minded, speech-slurring ex-con Boris in BEYOND THE 7TH DOOR, one has to wonder how and/or why his oh-so-obvious butchery of acting occurred? His performance, being substandard to the Nth degree, can only be a brilliant tactic by Lazar himself, saving a low-budget independent film from the obscurities in which 99.99% of low-budget films reside---no where! This movie would have been nothing if not for Rockwood's heart-felt gutsy performance, one that was over-looked by the Academy, but somehow unacceptably,the Gemeni awards (or whatever TV and film awards are in Canada) were not appeased by him, or the film itself. Imagine Robert DeNiro or Morgan Freeman or Jack Nicholson in the starring slot, and then honestly ask yourself: would this have been a better movie with a big name star or Lazar Rockwood in the lead role? Think about it! Its not wonder that this movie launched a stellar career for Rockwood; he WAS the movie. Decent plot, average co-star (although not in Rockwood's league, as an actor or as a looker), poor script that was saved by Rockwood's own brilliance, and virtually NO budget...still a film worth watching, but only for a truly remarkable star performance, by an actor whose first language is not English--could you tell?

deheor Today I got to experience 7th door on the Canadian channel drive in and I have got to say that even considering that it was a zero budget, shot in someones basement, crap-fest, the mindbogglingly bad performance by Lazar Rockwood has managed to set a standard by which all pathetic acting (and yes I am familiar with the painfully awful performances of Jessica Alba) will be forever judged against.I know the dialog was terrible, but is that any excuse for the way he would trip over his tongue before every line. I read another user comment that mentioned that his co-star seemed to throw up in her mouth during the love scene but I will admit that I missed that (I think my eyes were bleeding at the time or my mind just blocked it out).But truly the most disturbing fact is that Rockwood managed to get work after this film. His credit list is distressingly large. The plot for this film is very simple, a recently released criminal (played by Rockwood) convinces his ex-girlfriend to help him rip off her boss. Unfortunately what he does not realize is that the guy that he targeted enjoys setting traps for the thieves who try for his treasure. Most of the films run time involves our hapless heroes trying to solve some basic puzzles while inching closer to the big prize.Don't let the tongue in cheek reviews fool you. This is a truly awful movie that people should watch once simply to have a basis for comparison the next time someone complains about a bad film. No matter what movie is bothering them you can step up and say "you don't know what crap is until you endure beyond the 7th door". My only regret with watching this film was not getting a tape in the vcr quick enough so I could force others to watch it. Sometimes sharing pain is the best way to deal with it.

Hespeler In all seriousness, this film and particularly Lazar Rockwood are so exceptionally bad that it's hard to not watch this movie...multiple times. Canadian cinema and Hollywood have missed the boat on not using Lazar more often, he is the "car wreck" of acting. I just can't look away.I rated this film a 10/10 and meant it, a film this "bad" yet wonderful, is as rare as any "good" 10/10 film there is.It's a shame that this film is rarely seen outside of Canada. A true cinematic treasure that will stand the test of time.Bravo!
