At The Devil's Door (originally titled "Home") (2014)
Wow, this was kind of ridiculous. Perhaps the most annoying thing was that there were plenty of awesome sequences, but the plot was completely inconsistent.
We begin by following one girl, then we are following another girl too. Then we are following neither of those and instead we follow the second girl's sister.
The film makes clear early on that it is centred on a mystical pregnancy. But in the end, the actual pregnancy takes place while the mother is in a coma. Little of the film really addresses the issues inherent in a mystical pregancy even while that remains the central focus of the film.
There are short snippets of important emotional character moments, yet the characters are mostly flat and impersonal. This is a film which mostly about mood and atmosphere. I'm prepared to imagine that with a better script the characters would have more depth, but it's just as possible that the character development in the script was butchered to make way for more moody set-pieces.
While it began promisingly the aimless progression of the story became tiresome. When the creepy story elements were tied up, it all felt a bit dumb.
