Who payed the critics

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Another typical low budget "found film". The attempts to scare of even startle the viewer are boring and predictable. The story line is about as exciting as watching grass grow and ultimately unfulfilling. This movie offers no explanation, laborious acting and leaves the viewer confused and unsatisfied.

Will first of all i don't usually watch found footage movies but this film is freaking good the jumpscares are not bad but the way they edit it the movie 60's old camera effect it's a nice touch the story is good but little bit confusing overall it's a good moive to watch if you don't have any thing.

Unless the Vatican had the world's earliest and smallest Hi-Def camera with built-in sound recording at their disposal - in 1960, this looks all wrong. The forced 4:3 aspect ratio, rounded vignette corners, and occasional faux sprocket hole appearances aren't enough to make one feel that this is truly old-time footage shot on gear and stock available at the supposed time period. They didn't even bother to add any grain, color or stutter effects to age the appearance. Did they not watch any cinéma vérité from the past to get an idea of what this should have looked like? Plus this is supposed to predate Cannibal Holocaust by 20 years; yet it looks insanely modern - as clear and decent as even the latest cellphone could shoot. And intermittent bulb issues to add spooky factor? Um. no. I mean there was a good and workable story of Satanic child sacrifice underneath this. The acting is panicky and professional. Had they just found some old 16mm cameras and shot it as a regular movie, I would have been more impressed. Plus of course it was the nuns.

The devils doorway may have a mediocre IMDB rating but do not take this horror film from the UK to be just an average scary movie because it's not. The acting in this feature is purely amazing and the storyline may not be the most original but writers have creative privilege and they can always refresh our memories if they so choose. And although "The Devil's Doorway" does have 2 or 3 jump scares over the limit the dialogue keeps you entertained while you wait for the actual occurrences to take place and yes regardless of what the advertising banner for this movie says this is found footage and it's a pretty darn good one. The camera has a few jiggly moments at the end of the movie but 95% of it was was steady and well angled. Special effects were decent and the camera editing was converted into the look of a retro 35mm camera giving it a boost of realism. All in all this movie definitely fits the bill of a good horror flick so I give it an 8 which means you surely won't be mad to sit down and check this one out when you get a chance.
