Fella_shibby Review of Devil's Gate

Devil's Gate (2017)

A low budget attempt at creating Invasion of the body snatchers with a dash of creatures resembling from The Pack (2010). 7/10.

[7/10 · 6 May 2018]

Saw this on a pirated dvd few days back. Been on my radar for a very long time after watching the trailer. The film starts with a driver whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere n he approaches a farm house which is the only single house in an isolated country side. The place n the house has an eerie vibe to it. Good opening with a sense of dread. The driver tries calling out but nobody responds. He hears some sound from the basement n he steps on a bear trap. He painfully manages to remove his leg but ....... This shud b suffice as i want others to watch this well made, low budget horror film. Minor drawback is that the film has very less bodycount, tension is lost during the final scenes as the confrontation wasnt that creepy. The star cast is decent. Shawn Ashmore apart from X-men has become more synonym with horror/thriller films. His twin brother's film The Shrine is one of my fav horror film. This film has shades of The Pack (2010) n Blood Creek aka Town Creek, both good horror films. One may also find shades of Invasion of the body snatchers.
