A Film About Doors and Their Noises
Lance Henriksen is top billed but the real star is Metal Door Opening Stock Sound No. 44. No. 44 does a lot of work for free here. It is in every other scene. In perhaps a career best, the performance of No. 44 never once wavers or alters. It is rock steady in its delivery. When director Alex Gillis asked for a bit more sympathy, more pathos, No. 44 looked him square in the eye and did not change one bit. Come Hell or High Water, Metal Door Opening stands guard over the bulkheads like a creaky gargoyle. It is the hero we need and the hero we deserve.
