What happens

Doors (also known as Portal in the UK) is a 2021 American science fiction anthology film directed by Jeff Desom, Saman Kesh and Dugan O'Neal and written by Desom, Ed Hobbs, Kesh, O'Neal and Chris White. The film follows several groups of people responding to the sudden appearance of mysterious alien portals, known as "doors", that manifest around the world and are linked to mass disappearances and psychological disturbances. Told through three main segments and a framing device, the story depicts the phenomenon from the perspectives of high-school students, volunteer researchers and a reclusive scientist. Doors was released in select theatres and on video on demand in March 2021, and received mixed reviews; critics generally praised the central premise and some imagery while finding the anthology uneven and underdeveloped.
