Come[s] together in its closing minutes and - no small compliment - will repay a second viewing. There's a cult out there waiting for Cellar Door.

With its committed performances and air of enigma, this is fertile terrain for a short film, but one which comes aground at feature length.

More an immersive experience than a film to passively watch, the deliberately splintered nature of Cellar Door may be off-putting to some. However, it does showcase Nikci's unique vision, and marks him out as a director to watch.

Regardless, Cellar Door is a great film with interesting cinematography, a solid performance by Karen Hassan and some fantastic editing.

It was confusing most of the time but it all made sense after the revelation. It still wasn't great or the horror movie I expected it to be but it was mysterious enough.
