The premise

Two working class youtubers ‘in the making’ enter an abandoned mansion to get their basketball back, and get lost inside while pranking each other. They record their ‘quick adventure’ with their phones for their audience, and tweak it with a fake phantom appearance to attract more followers to their YouTube channel. When uploaded the video goes viral, so they start a challenge: if the video reaches a certain number of views, they will enter the house again, at night, alone, totally unprotected. As fans react positively, they will do as promised, not only to discover and unveil the true nature of the place and their inhabitants, but to realize they might not be among the living anymore. Which opens a question - how far would you go to be famous?

Horror Vault's take

What starts as a harmless retrieval mission turns into viral gold when two aspiring YouTubers stumble through an abandoned mansion and decide to spice up the footage for clicks. The stunt works — perhaps too well — and the pressure of a growing audience pushes them back inside after dark, this time with no safety net. As the cameras keep rolling, the line between staged scares and genuine terror begins to dissolve in ways they never anticipated. Do Not Enter asks how much you're willing to sacrifice for the algorithm.
