When a woman and her son mysteriously vanish, FBI agent Daria Francis is dispatched to the small town of Devil's Gate, N.D., to investigate the primary suspect: religious fanatic Jackson Pritchard, husband and father of the missing persons. But when Francis and local deputy Colt arrive at Pritchard's foreboding property, they discover much more than they bargained for lurking in the basement.

Though the FX and photography are competent for a film of this scale, the screenwriters appear to have put much less effort into dialogue and pacing.

2.5/4

I really dug the first two-thirds of director and co-writer Clay Staub's Devil's Gate, the initial setup and the kinetically enthralling second act bolting me forward in my seat...

In a cardinal sin of genre filmmaking, [Clay] Staub also lets his audience figure out the twists before his characters do, all while he overexplains the plot

8/10

Character driven, creepy and loaded with legitimately puzzling twists and turns, it's one of the strongest offerings in its sub-genre in years.

2.5/5

Devil's Gate beams into its story with reckless abandon, but advances far quicker than audiences keep up with. At least there are some cool Javier Botet aliens, though?

3.5/10

It simply rehashes a plotline we've seen many times before but doesn't add anything of value to it.

🥺🤯😳😍 7,5 "É muito mais fácil pedir desculpas do que permissão" vou usar para a vida... Um filme de terror sobrenatural , onde o terror e o suspense funcionam infinitamente melhor que o sobrenatural fantasmagórico... O clima sombrio, e o comportamento grosseiro dos moradores dão um tom adorável, um pouco confuso, muito estranho, alguns furos, falta de nexo, mas estamos falando de sobrenatural, então, tudo é possível, gostosinho, só não levar a sério... #film #films #cinema #filme #movie "It's much easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" - I'll use that for life... A supernatural horror film, where the terror and suspense work infinitely better than the ghostly supernatural... The dark atmosphere and the rude behavior of the residents give it an adorable, somewhat confusing, very strange tone, some plot holes, lack of coherence, but we're talking about supernatural, so anything is possible, enjoyable, just don't take it too seriously...

This movie is actually FANTASTIC! Must watch if you like scifi with a mix of horror =D Don't watch the trailer and avoid looking at the poster/cover, cause one of them is a little spoiler ish'. I love movies like Alien, aliens, the thing and stuff like that =)

Disfrutable. Empieza bien pero después la historia desbarranca un par de veces, no la arruina pero entiendo que no es para todo el mundo. *SPOILER NIVEL DIOS*: Igual valoro el esfuerzo, parece que no es fácil hacer películas de terror con aliens ya que no es la primera vez que veo que pasa.

Not the worst movie Ive seen, but this movie gets a low rating for being a misleading title. I was hoping for some supernatural demon movie I got an alien who will be the new Jesus for his species. Don't care if I spoiled it, It really doesn't deserve any attention.
