Enter Nowhere

Three strangers arrive one by one at a mysterious cabin in the middle of nowhere. Slowly they realize that they are trapped there and no matter how hard they try to leave they can't because in whichever direction they go, they return to the exact same cabin! Things become more bizarre when the three begin to talk and are sure the cabin they are stuck in is in different geographical US states. It seems they were hundreds of miles apart from each other and had traveled only for a little time and yet they've reached each other at this cabin! It's geographically impossible. They must be 100s of miles apart. So in which US state is this cabin exactly? How have they reached each other without traveling for days? Odder still they each believe the year is different. One character says it is 1962, while the other says it's 1985 and for the third it 2011!Frankly, this is an excellent, unknown, bizarre yet entertaining movie! The story is brand new and not a rehash of old stuff one has seen countless times. The starting itself is strong and happenings unpredictable, and the ending is a major twist that one will not see coming from miles away. It's emotional, and for the running time I felt like I was trapped in the bizarre situation along with the characters. As a writer I tried to think what was happening and predict the end and yet it left me baffled, bamboozled and bowled over! It's claustrophobic and tense. A rare 'locked-room' thriller, limited characters, limited locations and limited budgets but not limited in imagination, ideas, and writing.

The plot is okay-ish at best, as long as you don't think too hard about it (I don't think even the writers did, so...). Acting and directing is very poor. Characters are not likable and their reactions are unnatural 70% of the time. A huge waste of time.

What starts as your generic suspenseful, broken down in the middle of nowhere, there's a cabin, who are you, how did you get here, etc etc movie becomes a putting the pieces together, well made film (think I ran on there for a second). Watch it!!

I got this movie from Netflix not knowing what to expect, and, boy, did it surprise me! It was one of those movies that works well-make that brilliantly-with a limited cast and setting and an eerie plot. It starts off with Sara Paxton robbing a convenience store. She winds up at a cabin in the middle of the woods with two strangers. They all have no explanation as to why they are there with rational explanations as to HOW. Why they are there is unraveled throughout the course of the movie. They cannot escape as each person seems strange to each other. Everything is revealed in clues, premonitions, and dialogue (sometimes humorously!) along the way as the creepy and scary atmosphere persists. The acting and writing were all great in this gem-I was very glad I got this. It was far from a classic but not bad either. ** 1/2 out of ****

Like many, after reading so many positive and compeling reviews I felt the urge to watch Enter Nowhere, as I thought it would be a great science fiction movie, as "advertised". The movie is plain bad. As you have may read, the story revolves about three strangers that arrive at a cabin in the woods and soon realise they are there for a reason. OK, so there is a mystery, but it isn't interesting enough, first because of the poor script. The script just doesn't engage the viewer, it's too far fetched, it doesn't explain anything, stuff just happen and you should act like the "whys" and "whos" don't matter and don't exist. Second: the acting...It's bad. It's like they're reading the lines directly from paper. There is no emotion, nothing...Just bad. I won't drag this too much, because this movie lacks quality in every aspect. I can't in good conscience recommend this movie unless to those who want to watch a "B" movie and increase their viewed movies library. To those who seek entertainment, an interesting story, something new and fresh, don't watch this one. It's bad...

About 20 minutes in to this movie I thought the movie was going in the same direction as so many others that I have seen, but it didn't and it really took me by surprise as the story slowly started to unfold. The movie went in a totally different direction and I highly recommend this to true fans of the horror genre. This is quite a treat for people like me who see tons of horror flicks and are constantly looking for something good to watch, but are constantly let down. So give it a shot if your a die hard genre fan like me and are into strange supernatural horror. There isn't a ton of gore in this film, its more of a cerebral supernatural thriller which is good every once in awhile. I have no idea why this movie is rated so low here, but I'm not surprised. Truth be told, its a solid 7. I gave this 9 stars to help give it a push out of the hole its in. It does great with the small budget it had. Good production, convincing actors, and an overall intelligent story. I won't stick my neck out and say cult classic like another reviewer here, but definitely a great way to kill an hour and a half and definitely an excellent low budget horror film. Hell, Id have even paid for it!

This is an interesting little film. Little because the production budget looks tiny and in total there are no more than 8 or so characters overall! It starts off as a typical cabin in the woods scenario and sure enough soon walks in a man with an axe. But before you can get ready for the gore to begin the story takes a different turn. Maybe not so different but the overall tone develops in to a psychological thriller scenario and although the twist isn't something to write home about, its certainly unexpected. The director drops many small hints as to what is going on and later they become funny reminders. Not epic film making but an entertaining story that is short and tight. Production value is low due to the budget and has some amateurish cgi. Acting is so so and in particular Katherine Waterston overacts in her scenes. Overall a neat little story that is both entertaining and immediately forgettable.

I've seen this movie twice, the first time was years ago I remember it being a bit slow but feeling worthwhile in the end. The second time I watched it (yesterday) I thought that the beginning is indeed mindnumbingly slow and was really bored for the most part of the first hour but after the hour had past I started to understand just why I decided to rewatch it in the first place, cause the ending throws a cool twist on you. But in the end we have to judge a movie as a whole and not just based on the fact that it finally got good in the last 25 minutes, and the first hour really is not that great at all, even less so on the rewatch because every little clue is so amazingly obvious. The acting is okay, the characters don't really feel all that real though a bit stereotypical. So maybe just watch one time if it's on cable or something.

This movie was enough to keep my interest from the beginning, it was okay, but I can only give it a four because to me it was just a drawn out Twilight Zone episode. I did however enjoy the fact there were not very many CGS scenes. I liked the way it was filmed, maybe because of budget costs, but they did do good for what they had to work with. Actually, I think if they had had a bigger budget they would have done great! The actors they picked played the parts well. What a real surprise was that they were pretty good at picking out the costumes for each character without giving anything away of the plot. So for all in all a four. I don't know if this studio has done anymore films but I would be interested in finding out more. Peace!

I cannot understand all the rave reviews for this mediocre movie. It starts off well, with a mystery of three strangers turning up to a lone cabin in the woods. The first half of the movie is taken up with often tedious dialogue as the three try to figure out how they're seemingly stranded, and how to get home. I was sitting there with my remote in hand itching to press the fast forward button but I resisted. I did take a break in the DVD at around 56 minutes to get something to eat. And I needed the break. The movie at this point was starting to bore me. And then the plot twists to something that I figured might happen. Three people linked by some curious historic event. We then come to the conclusion but I had already figured out the end before then. The acting isn't anything special. Nothing of any great note happens either. It's all quite predictable and uninteresting. Note here how I'm trying to avoid SPOILERS. It's easy to see why this movie went straight to DVD. All in all, the movie's okay, but nothing special. I most certainly couldn't watch it again. Only 4 out of 10 from me. It's really baffling how so many people see this movie as a cult classic. They must have seen a lot of very bad movies to think this one is good or even great. It's laughable really.
