- Patrick Wai25 januari 2026Honestly, The Devil’s Doorway was way better than I expected. Sure, it starts off slow and predictable — the kind of opening where you half-expect a jump scare at every creaky door — but stick with it. Once the stairway and basement scenes kick in, it really clamps down on the tension, making you feel every inch of that claustrophobic, grainy horror. Lalor Roddy as Father Thomas carries the movie on his back; his grounded, no-nonsense performance makes the supernatural nonsense actually feel believable. The film leans on some classic horror tropes, but it wears them well, and the vintage found-footage style actually adds to the unease rather than feeling tired. It’s unnerving without going over the top, and the cast’s natural performances keep you invested — which is more than you can say for half the modern horror flicks out there. It won’t reinvent the genre, but if you like creeping dread, tight spaces, and a priest who actually acts like a human being rather than a scream machine, The Devil’s Doorway is worth a watch.

In oktober 1960 worden pater Thomas Riley en pater John Thornton door het Vaticaan op pad gestuurd om een bloedbeeld van de Heilige Maagd Maria te onderzoeken in een landelijk Iers klooster. Het klooster doet dienst als religieus asiel voor prostituees, verstandelijk gehandicapten en ongehuwde zwangere vrouwen. In de hoop fotografisch bewijs van dit schijnbare wonder te vangen, filmt pater Thornton alles met een draagbare 16 mm-camera. Moeder Overste ontkent echter iets te weten van een bovennatuurlijk fenomeen.
