The movie is so consistently moody, and so focused on driving you towards a gut-punch finale, that even valid complaints seem negligible in retrospect. Read full review

An accumulation of dread in search of a properly fleshed-out screenplay to sustain it, the film plays like a show reel for writer-director Nicholas McCarthy's considerable craft. Read full review

In his second feature, McCarthy shows he's mastered the things we already know scare us onscreen; next, how about something we don't expect? Read full review

At the Devil's Door goes right up to the threshold of being an interesting possession saga but never truly gets inside. Read full review

At the Devil’s Door (which premiered at SXSW last spring under the title “Home”) ends up too tentative and underdeveloped, playing like an attenuated prologue for a bigger film. Read full review

Lacks the potent scares and exploitative elements to truly please genre fans. But its thematic ambition and well-crafted elements mark the filmmaker as a talent to watch. Read full review

Una película con una historia interesante solo creo que algo confusa muchos datos y pocos sucesos te entretiene pero no tiene un final muy claro o a lo mejor algo claro .

Komplett sinnfreie Story die noch konfuser erzählt wird. Die Schreckszenen sind vorhersehbar und sind teilweise ebenso konfus wie der Rest des Films.

Die Schreckszenen sind vorhersehbar und sind teilweise ebenso konfus wie der Rest des Films. Die ersten zehn Minuten sind schon so dermaßen dämlich, das man gleich weiß was einen erwartet. Ist mir ein Rätsel was für einen Schlag in die Eingeweide die Kritiker da gesehen haben wollen am Ende. Haben wohl eher einen Schlag aufs Hirn abbekommen nachdem sie sich den Mist angetan haben.… Expand
