The Wrong Door (1990) – Bill Weiss.

Student Ted (Matt Felmlee), a gifted creator of audio drama, disturbingly finds himself cast as The Wrong Man opening The Wrong Door, whereupon he coincidentally witnesses the slaying of a young woman, and is plunged frantically into a whip-crack Hitchcockian nightmare noir/mystery. Super-8 indie miracle The Wrong Door has the chutzpah to punch well above its weight, proving itself to be a rousing, smart, breathlessly paced, knock-out thriller. For a feature shot on such a small gauge it has big ideas, and frequently delivers some satisfyingly widescreen suspense! Amiable Young Actor Felmlee is sublime as the innocent naif, the unlikeliest of heroes, relentlessly pursued by two Brat Pack thugs, one of whom is doing his best to channel his inner James Spader, but thuggishly projecting a B-level James Russo, which, quite frankly, ain't too shabby!!!!

Once again, deep-diggers Visual Vengeance, those stalwart curators of intoxicatingly Home-brewed S.O.V Gore-mongery are to be enormously commended for nurturing this compelling S.O.S (shot on Super-8) thriller onto HD for the delight, and universal delectation of cult movie treasure seekers worldwide! The Wrong Door is a cherishable rarity, a hitherto neglected, unjustly obscure, VHS-era Bobby Dazzler, that enjoys quality performances, a cogent, suspenseful text, engagingly visual film-making aesthetic, and a palpably thrilling climax! With its playful, sympathetic protagonist, and serpentine De Palma/Hitchcock plot, I was resolutely gripped throughout, for me, The Wrong Door is a truly inspirational, indie-film-making marvel!
