Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Detective Porhowski (Sarah-Jane Redmond) has dinner with her father and he invites her to administrate a clinic that he has just purchased since he is worried with the dangerousness of her profession. Porhowski returns to the police department and she is informed that a man called Ryan James (Michael Eklund) wants to talk to her. He tells an unbelievable story that he has been abducted and forced to play games against four other men, selected for their sins, in a parking garage. In the end of the game, the sin committed by the loser is projected and he is killed by a supernatural forces.Ryan has succeeded to flee with the support of the janitor Joe Balberith (Ron Sauvé). Porhowski does not give credit to his story and finds that Ryan is a drug dealer. When she returns to talk to him, she finds that he has escaped from the interrogation room. Detective Porhowski drives back home but she is kidnapped by Ryan that was hidden on the back seat of her car. He tells that made a deal with the supernatural force that agreed to trade him for Detective Porhowski. What is her dark secret from the past?"The Entrance" is an intriguing low-budget horror movie with an original story. Unfortunately the movie does not have end and wastes a great story. Was it lack of budget to complete the movie? Or does the director and writer Damon Vignale believe that he has made a movie with open end? My vote is five.Title (Brazil): 'Punidos pelo Demônio" ("Punished by the Devil")

Priests, demon-possessed nuns, rape, pedophilia - these are the makings of a good horror film when you add demons and the devil. Will this live up to the promise? Sometimes the concept is good, and certainly Sarah-Jane Redmond and Michael Eklund were good, but the story just didn't go anywhere.There was very little action; mostly just running around and talking. Some characters, like the cops in the precinct seemed to be doing work that was just to explain what was happening, as if they had no other way of doing so.The ending was left up to the viewer and that sucked.No gore, no blood, some puking from a strung out doper, and no boobage whatsoever. I really must have blinked once because I didn't see the nun either.

Detective Porhowski (Sarah-Jane Redmond) is trying to find out what's happening in her town. Ryan James (Michael Eklund) says he was in a nightmarish place where some supernatural evil was killing people based on sins they've committed. As she delves deeper into this crazy story, the more she realizes that it might not be as crazy as she once thought it was.Supposedly this was based on a true story due to some priests' notes or something like that. Basically it's their way of saying, 'this could possibly happen, so we'll say it did happen and make people believe it happened, even though it never really did happen.' Yea, they tried to manipulate the general audience, to little avail.

***SPOILERS*** Tales from the crypt like anthology that has to do with this 17th century exorcism preformed by French priest Sabstien Michalis on a nun from his church.Were then brought into the present with drug pusher Ryan James being directed by forces beyond his control-the Devil?-to get lady police detective Jen Porhowski to this underground basement. It's there where a number of people are playing cards bingo and just with themselves in order for them to stay alive.We soon get to see that theses persons including James are to pay for things that did in their past that was in league with the Devil's wishes. The person who seems to be running this operation is this creepy looking janitor who calls himself Joe, even though he's later refereed to as Frank by a fellow employee. Joe's in charge of cleaning up the place that these sinners, against their will, are being held hostage in.Bsides James the drug dealer we get to see a rapist a card shark and child molester held prisoner by Joe the Janitor who has this strange tattoo on his right hand branding him as being an agent of the Devil.It takes the entire movie to get a grip of just what's happening and the biggest obstacle to everything in it is non other then Jen herself! What the hell is she doing in this den of sinners when she even in her past indiscretions, that we see replayed by a 1950's like movie projector, did nothing at all to deserve to be there! We also get to see Jen's father Stan Porhowski, who gave her the address to the place, who from what we see, from the movie projector, has a deep dark secret that he eventually is to pay for with his life.***SPOILER ALERT***The movie does in fact hold you interest even though you have trouble following it hoping that in the end all the loose ends will finally be tied together. You come to some kind of conclusion that Jen in fact is being manipulated by the Devil into commit an act of violence, or murder, just to put her in the same category as those she's with. Try as she does Jen in fact keeps her emotions, especially towards both the rapist and James the drug dealer, from causing her to lose her innocence! That's until the very last moment of the film that abruptly keeps it's audience from seeing what exactly Jen did!
