is a dense portrayal of how a couple, who were searching for their missing young son, brought home three years later like fate, driving their family and surroundings into extreme fear. Perhaps that's why watching the movie reminds me of Korean actors Kim Hee-ae and Jin Ji-hee, perhaps because they are strangely overlapped with their characters in recent movies, TV dramas.

"Open the Door" is a real-life horror thriller that closely tracks the process of a couple searching for their missing young son, whose family and surroundings are driven into extreme fear by a child brought home like fate three years later. The bizarre events that take place after bringing the child home, the identity of the child who is increasingly becoming the same as his missing son, and the process of chasing the gruesome secret that reveals itself unfold with great tension and thrill. Watching the passionate performances of Yelena Ryadova and Vladimir Vdovicchenkov, who played the couple in the movie, if actor Kim Hee-ae and actress Ji Jin-hee appear in the Korean remake, the horror that the movie conveys seems to be more realistic than a fictional story.
