Don’t be swayed away by the bad reviews. The way this movie was shot, the acting & the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend giving this a watch.
It was good. Very predictable but not bad. The sound and overall atmosphere was cool.
it was good
I truly enjoyed the narrative that drove this film. The introduction spoke about "Magdalene Laundries" , where these women and girls shunned by society were thrown here to be forgotten to maintain a "pure" image for the Catholic Church. This story was very well strung together, but I have grievances. This film has adopted many clichés of the supernatural genre, which takes away from the grim reality this film is based on. The pacing felt "off" and the scares were lackluster. That being said, I still enjoyed The Devil's Doorway and the story that was woven. I just wished the horror aspect would be as unique as the narrative.
Terribly predictable. The most horrifying part is that the Catholic Church is real and destroys the lives of women and children daily.
