Do Not Enter is a 2025 supernatural horror thriller directed by Marc Klasfeld in his feature film debut. The movie is based on the bestselling novel Creepers by David Morrell and features a cast including Adeline Rudolph, Nicholas Hamilton, Francesca Reale, Jake Manley, Laurence O’Fuarain, Kai Caster, and Javier Botet.
The story follows a group of young urban explorers known as “The Creepers,” who livestream their dangerous adventures. They break into the abandoned Paragon Hotel in New Jersey to search for a legendary mobster’s hidden $300 million. But instead of treasure, they uncover a deadly mix of rival hunters and something far more sinister: a terrifying supernatural presence haunting the building.
The film combines haunted-house horror with modern social media themes like clout-chasing, greed, and risky fame-seeking.
