What to Know

Critics Consensus

At the Devil's Door has no shortage of creepy style -- unfortunately, that isn't enough to distract from an uninspired story that never capitalizes on its potential.

Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice McCarthy shows he's mastered the things we already know scare us onscreen; next, how about something we don't expect? Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Though disappointing content-wise, McCarthy's sophomore feature still demonstrates admirable attention to things that usually suffer in more superficially flashy horror efforts ... Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Things pick up, but too late to really have any impact. Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While some uneven plotting and awkward moments in character development mar the process, this is an illustrative example of how capably creepy independent American horror films still have the potential to be. Rated: 3/5 Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X At The Devil's Door is not a horror movie that has much splatter, dialogue or, when taking the long view, originality. What it does have is real horror, which is the element most required here. Rated: B Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Frank Ochieng SF Crowsnest Writer-director Nicholas McCarthy's At The Devil's Door is a fright vehicle that dutifully tingles from time to time but somehow still feels strained in its creepy convictions.

Audience Member Rating: 6/10. 63/100 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review Taylor L At the Devil's Door is a competently made film overall, but pushes no boundaries and doesn't really develop any sense of consistent tension. It's a postmodern horror, trying to take advantage of the shift towards slow-burn pacing to trick you into thinking that meandering = scary. Muddy rules to the universe, slim character development, and a lack of scares make this feature a relatively timid horror flick overall; there's not much in the heat of the moment to make your hair stand on end, nor in the implications of the film's demonic presence (think the wide-ranging implications left at the ending of Rosemary's Baby, there's nothing comparable here). Easily skippable. (2/5) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review Gianmarco R Ugly and not scary horror film with a plot that does not make the slightest sense and that wants to be intelligent, original and intuitive but that ends up being stupid and with little sense. The plot doesn't make the slightest sense, it's really stupid, but the film also manages to entertain thanks to a good choice of ascending climax, too bad for everything else which is painful Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/22 Full Review Audience Member I think I may respect Nicolas McCarthy in the director's chair, but he needs to get involved with better written films. 4.4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a decent horror. It has some scares, good acting and a serviceable plot. It's not the most unique story but imo the plot is executed very well. And between scares there's still a tense vibe that's eerie. If you've got nothing else to watch I think you could do a lot worse than this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member STARTED OUT GOOD AND WENT DOWNHILL PRETTY FAST. THIS MOVIE HAD POTENTIAL BUT FAILED. THIS MOVIE TRIES TO MAKE YOU THINK BUT IT DOES A BETTER JOB AT BEING ANNOYING THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE CHASE SCENE BETWEEN THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AT THE END WAS ESPECIALLY ANNOYING Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
