One of my all time favorites.
Lack of good storyline.
Better Late Then Never
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Not one thing to benefit by trying to watch this attempt at a horror movie. Oh, it's a horror alright, but not as a genre. It's just a horrible attempt at entertainment and misses in every aspect. What a waste.Filming in the dark for such creep movies is formulaic but does not help when all the characters are filmed in the dark, have identical features, the dialogue (this poor attempt barely has any dialogue to critique) is minimal, and there are so many convoluted flashbacks -- if indeed that's what they were -- that nothing makes any sense.Perhaps the writer had several beginning attempts at a few scripts, none completed, then just tossed them up into the air & submitted the way the pages fell on the floor to the film company. That could be the only explanation for how this film rates as a zero in every category.
Really hard to make heads or tails out of this one. There's no discernible plot, almost no dialog or action and what little there is is the most trite cliché standard issue 'horror' possible. It's nearly pitch black and the mandatory jitter cam is run of the mill. There are a lot of loud noises. But mostly random snippets and emotional baggage scenes. And slow. Slow slow slow slow slow. It's more of a template for all the things you should try to cram into a movie than it is an actual movie. Others have written that the ending is a disappointment but when it ends at all it'l be a relief. Also weirdly it's for the most part an all female cast. And they all whisper. In the pitch dark black.
This was a great horror movie/ possession film. There have not been too many lately. I'm not sure why it only has a 5 rating. I guess the ending wasn't what people wanted to see; but that's only because they wanted to see more of the film. The ending leaves room for a sequel. Personally, I think people who we wouldn't consider on the bright side , watched this movie and decided to vent their frustration, with low ratings, because they were confused during the film. A lot of these low reviews are about not understanding the first story, the boy and his Uncle. Well, since none of you are familiar with magic, or black magic, that makes sense. Let me tell you a little of what I know. In black magic, the ultimate is to Conjure demons, and black magicians like to f*** with people. They also like to test boundaries and release demons that they can command, or to do their ultimate will. For me, the uncle made sense and was realistic as far as using accurate vernacular and so on. He wanted to release a demon, probably to darken the world. If you can't understand it now, you're hopeless. I seriously got angry at the reviews of this good movie. Such idiots, on here. This was creepy, compelling and scary throughout. I've read reviews that said there wasn't enough character development. Well, personally, I hate movies like The Strangers , that the first half hour is spent in some people's lives that are totally meaningless to the film, just focused on their drama. I watch movies , horror movies to be scared. To be freaked out. Not to get to know people, and anyways. These leading lives were developed just fine. I guess you have to be mildly smart to pick up on the very obvious clues and hints into who they are as people. Plus , the getting right into style, unfolds the mystery. This movie isn't about three women. It's about a demon. The women are just demonic pawns. I love that you have to guess about the creepy characters. It's almost better that way. People nowadays just lack the imagination to do that. I really liked this film. Much better than The Conjuring , which I was totally disappointed by. I'm still not sure if it was those jerk kids in the movie theater laughing at all the scary parts, but I really thought that movie lacked. Most recent horror movie I liked? Oculus. That movie was rad. This movie is big budget. This movie is directed really well, filmed really well. And acted really well. I liked all the lead characters. This movie left me with that funny feeling in your tummy. You know - the one that you have after watching a car accident. The great thing about this film, is that it didn't achieve that by cheap and sleazy thrills. Like the shock and gross thing. I think a lot of horror fans like that sort of thing, the Saws. And the sexual sadism thing. I don't. I like a good thinking horror movie. With a brain. This was that, but not too complicated. Sometimes I feel like independent writers and directors just really overdose us on dialog and character development that we don't care about and don't need to see or hear at all. It's just someone's ego plastered on the screen. Unless you are a Tarantino, then, you're excused. But most of you are not, and shouldn't even try to be. Watch this movie. If you don't like it , it's because of three reasons. 1- you have bad , very bad taste in movies. 2- you're one of those psydeu film snobs, a wanna be film critic, that needs to feel important by trying to be superior over other people's actual work. While you do nothing with your life , except judge the people that are actually producing something with theirs. 3- you're on drugs, or drunk.
I will normally give Horror movies a higher rating than what I should because of two reasons. 1/ Because I'm an extreme fan of the genre. 2/ The overall quality of horror movies is actually a little low so I feel there is some kind of grading curve.So with this in mind when a descent horror movie comes out you can imagine my delight."At the devil's door" has a script that progresses in unexpected directions. This is a pleasant turn of events in a genre that tends to follow the same route over and over again.It's quite creepy, a few little scares and I really like when horror movies keep the monster just out of view. It's there but you cannot really focus on what it is.It's not incredibly brilliant but it's a good watch and that's all I really need.
