The story line is given as such: "ENTRANCE is about the limits of our perception, how the things lurking on the periphery of our lives can lead to horrific conclusions; about how she fell out of love with the city, but it wouldn't let her go." WOW! Sounds deep and enchanting. For about an hour we watch Suzy (Suziey Block) go through the boring routine of her life, fixing coffee, going to work, feeding the dog...up until he goes missing. It was sheer boredom. We get clues she is being stalked and can't wait for him to attack her so we can watch something besides paint dry. Things start moving at about an hour in a manner that questions if the wait was worth it. I didn't think so.

Guide: No nudity. Brief sex scene.

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.

At the beginning of this movie I was most taken with the editing and photography, and the storyline. You really feel as if you have the 'fly on the wall' point of view while the "mysterious happenings" confuse this single girl.

I was thinking what a great look at living in a huge city like L.A. So many people both wonderful and strange. People in cities do weird things.

So all my interest and involvement with the daily life of Suzy is suddenly flushed down the toilet when the story becomes just another slasher/splatter psycho movie. Did the writers just give up? It would have been so much more interesting if Suzy had gone back to her parents and to find out her dissatisfaction and fears were all in her own mind.
