The Devil's Doorway Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
jadesmylie It is obvious from the beginning and the information before the film starts, that they are tying to recreate a 60's style film. The screen is small and 35mm film is being used to get the best effect. There are lots of cuts and bad editing, both of which would be even regarded as 'high tech' at the time. The sound is crackled but if you pay attention it still displays the right time, fashion, language and beliefs, including the young nuns being exploited or punished for their 'sins'. It may not be a fully formed idea but the attention to scenery, footage of the time and bad audio makes a person become absorbed quite quickly in an experience, regardless of the modern market of blockbuster movies filled with constant action and current comedy at HUGE expense. A lot of these incredibly paid actors are philanthropic and generous. The culture of excessive payments to these 'celebrities' is so detrimental to the people in more impoverished areas. It isn't necessary and this hero worship of human beings (just like yourself) needs to stop and realise we are fuelling this economy, so need to be the answer to this huge gap between us.
crunchycloset The start is good, the acting is good, but the end is empty, don't have a explanation, so yes it end very confuse!
derekjager The 1960s setting is great as is the acting. Unfortunately, they forgot to write an intelligent, compelling story. And so many loose ends. They start to investigate the "miracle" of blood tears flowing from Virgin Mary statues. Doesn't that sound creepy/disturbing? Why would the Catholic church consider that a miracle? They somehow jump to the conclusion that it means one of the women or a nun is pregnant. (?) That leads nowhere until one of the women says a pregnant women is locked in the basement. Of course, she's possessed so we're subjected to 15 minutes of her screaming and attacking people, a bed shakes, crosses turn upside down, she levitates, etc. I mean, really? Then they find--and film--a room filled with Satanic stuff. When they show the head nun the room moments later, all the Satanic stuff is gone. What's the point of that? And the priest don't even mention it again. Then it turns out the girl is a virgin what she's pregnant. And no one seems that stunned; even the Dr. is sort of, "Weird, huh?" They set up all these little scenes that go nowhere. Oh, and one priest hears children whispering to him, "We're going to kill you." Whispering kids are pretty non-scary to me, so this doesn't add any frights to the movie but of course, he has to race up and down the hallways to find the ghost kids. And while this is supposed to be found footage, there is a SOUNDTRACK for all the jump scares, along with scary music when they go to find the baby the girl gave birth too. And the end is a mess--I think the nuns are attacking the priests (you can't see a thing) and then the older priest is killed and then...film over. It's really a mess but again, such a great setting, well acted. Just lacks a great story.
scottcoe I wanted to like this film, but the blatant anti-Catholic feminist nature of the dialogue ruined what could have been a reasonable effort in the realm of "found footage" material. I am NOT Catholic, nor religious, and I know what Irish women of "low" birth were once subjected to in places such as the one portrayed in this film, but being set in 1960, much of the dialogue seems to come right out of 2018, so it simply doesn't work well. No surprise the director is female and therefor determined to shame the Catholic church. But she's cut off her nose despite her face in making such an ideological film. The main problem being that the viewer can't really get past the ideology and focus on the actual horror scenes.
