Kevin Cate’s Viral Elevator Horror Short “Open Door” Expands Into a Feature Film
Kevin Cate created Open Door, a 3-minute horror short that has went viral. A couple of coworkers get into an elevator for a typical ride, but then it just stops and dips, and you start hearing whispers and getting the impression that something is lurking down in the darkness. Nearly 15 million people have watched it on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and they’re still going crazy trying to figure out what happens next.
The only question that keeps coming up is, “What did those two people see when all hell broke loose?” Kevin Cate has been dealing with that question pretty much every day since the short came out, and his contagious excitement has secured him a nice six-figure deal to make it into a feature film. He collaborated with IO writer Charles Spano to enhance the script, and they now have a completely new version ready to go.

Sean Anthony Baker and Mia Matthews are reprising their roles from the original short for the full-length movie. Kevin Cate is overjoyed to be working with the same cast and crew who brought the short back to life in the first place, and he believes the new characters are among the greatest they’ve created yet. Getting asked every day what the two saw down there is driving him insane, but he’s ready to eventually reveal them, and he’s dropping hints along the way.
They’ve even set up a website (opendoorfilm.com) where you can sign up and express your interest. The website has the most recent news, behind-the-scenes looks, and even a section where fans can share their wildest ideas. Skysound producer Daniel Faber is on board with this one, as well as Kevin Cate’s upcoming comedy Unbearable Christmas, starring Julia Stiles and David Cross.
Now that the budgeting process is over, the next steps are to address finance, casting, and pre-production. They want to start filming later this year and release it to the public in 2027. Kevin Cate provided a sneak glimpse of what’s coming on social media, claiming that it’s the completion of his ultimate dream.
