A low budget attempt at creating Invasion of the body snatchers with a dash of creatures resembling from The Pack (2010). 7/10.Fella_shibby6 May 2018
Warning: SpoilersSaw 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.

Nuthin New on the X Files FrontPermalink
Tweetienator7 January 2018
A mystery thriller with solid acting, solid production (tv-scale) and well, a story that boild down to its core is VERY standard (todays term: generic) and predictable, even the end is a genre cliche par excellence.
Anyway, if you like such movies with a little X Files taste, you may dare to watch, it won't kill you, but just don't expect anything outstanding like some of those super-positive (fake!?) reviews try to sell you. An okay watch for a rainy afternoon with nothing else to do.

Devil's Gate: Passable entertainmentPermalink
Platypuschow11 January 2018
Set in the fictional town of Devil's Gate a federal agent teams with a local officer to investigate a missing wife & child. Trouble is their investigation leads them to the unbalanced husband and his trap filled home.
I expected horror, it was advertised as horror.....it's not really.
Milo Ventimiglia and Shawn Ashmore star in this interesting but ultimately flawed sci-fi movie which looks great but lacks in too many areas that matter.
Jonathan Frakes from Next Generation also stars and is particuly good, shame his role was a tad too small.
I liked the plot I did, even though I'm not a big sci-fi guy I think they did a good enough job here and left it open for potential sequels. Sadly it doesn't flow all too well and something just didn't sit right for me.
Watchable effort and this may really appeal to some, for me it was a deeply average offering.
The Good:
Decent plot
Jonathan Frakes
Great opening sequence
The Bad:
Poorly paced
Seriously, stop killing pets in every damn movie
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Milo Ventimiglia plays unhinged characters far too well
I would happily live in that house, yes I'm weird

Surprisingly Good and Underrated Sci-Fi FilmPermalink
claudio_carvalho13 January 2018
FBI Special Agent Daria Francis (Amanda Schull) is assigned to travel to Devil's Gate, a small town in North Dakota, to investigate the disappearance of Maria Pritchard (Bridget Regan) and her son Jonah. Her prime suspect is the husband and father Jackson Pritchard (Milo Ventimiglia), who lives in a farm in the middle of nowhere. However Sheriff Gruenwell (Jonathan Frakes) asks Francis to let Jackson alone since he would be a good man. Deputy Conrad 'Colt' Salter (Shawn Ashmore) heads with Francis to interview Maria´s sister and she leaves her house convinced that Jackson may be hiding them. When they arrive at his farm, Jackson assaults Maria and she enters the house to investigate, and finds a weird thing. What is Jackson hiding?
'Devil´s Gate' is a surprisingly good and underrated sci-fi film. The screenplay is intriguing and the lead cast (Amanda Schull, Shawn Ashmore and Milo Ventimiglia have good performances. The conclusion after the initial credits is a cliffhanger for a possible sequence. My vote is seven.

Kolobos517 January 2018
Devil's Gate is a new genre bending horror film. It's creative and unique, you'll start watching it and never in a million years guess where it's going, and it has a solid cast. So why doesn't the movie work? Well, first, there's the script. It really needed more work. The basic story is that a woman (Bridget Regan of The Last Ship) and her young son have disappeared from their remote farm house. The investigation is going nowhere so a fed (Amanda Schull of 12 Monkeys the overrated TV show) is dispatched to investigate. She is partnered with a dim local cop (Shawn Ashmore of The Following) along the lines of Scream's Deputy Dewey. They begin their search and, despite strenuous objections from the local Sheriff (Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek The Next Generation), the look into the husband (Milo Ventimaglia of This Is Us). He's weird, he has a temper, their marriage was unhappy, his house looks like Leatherface should be hanging around in the attic, he has elaborate traps laid all around, and he has SOMETHING caged up in the basement. So you're probably thinking standard psycho story, right? Wrong. The movie has some pretty dramatic twists from there and, without giving away too much, develops a cosmic horror plot thread I actually really liked. Or, wanted to like anyway. Devil's Gate throws so much at you that it never stops to develop any of its ideas. Or its characters. Another problem is that despite having a better than average cast, they're all playing one note stereotypes. The movie also has serious pacing problems and can't be bothered to fully develop any of its truly interesting ideas. The films also really stretches its budget. While there are some fantastic practical effects, there are also some really lousy digital ones. Devil's Gate it a frustrating movie that frankly should have been a lot better. The ideas are there, the cast is there, but the director and screenwriters just can't pull it all together. My recommendation, watch The Void instead.

'You both need to clear off my property,or as god is my witnessI will not be responsible for what happens!Colt, If she goes in there Maria and Jonah are as good as dead.'
An onrushing hot rod that suddenly breaks down near an awful looking, abandoned farm with lots of barbed wire and warning signs. There are squeaky doors and you can hear a howling wind while the person with car trouble is looking for someone who can help him. And then he experiences that awful moment. Something he did not see coming. I immediately sat straight up in my chair and expected an intense horror. Especially when the title of the film is 'Devil's gate'. The poor, dilapidated farmstead and the desolate environment immediately reminded me of 'The Texas chainsaw massacre'. A no-man's-land where a psychopathic, crazy family terrorizes and kills lost tourists so they can brew a hearty one-pan meal afterwards. To my disappointment, the movie title turned out to be the name of the town where the story takes place.
To be honest, the first part of the movie was tremendously fascinating. A missing woman and her son. The F.B.I. Agente Daria (Amanda Schull) who, together with the local policeman Colt (Shawn Ashmore), investigates the disappearance of both persons. And the downright suspicious acting Jackson Pritchard (Milo Ventimiglia) where the two enforcers of the law finally arrive. And when the two law enforcement officers make a rather disconcerting discovery in the Jackson cellar, the film will take a completely different turn. That's the biggest plus of this film. The surprise effect is huge. You are repeatedly misled. One moment you expect a sort of 'Silence of the Lambs' serial killer scenario. Then you come to the conclusion that this film has an 'X-Files' vibe. Such a movie you'd come across on some SyFy channel.
Unfortunately, the quality of this indie SF drops as the film progresses. I wasn't interested in the religious aspect. The 'an eye for an eye' principle was rather laughable. Despite the sometimes high-quality special effects and generally not so bad acting (with even a cameo of the Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes), this film didn't really appeal to me. It seemed as if a whole arsenal of ideas and proposals were being collected and subsequently they didn't know anymore which direction it should go. In the end it felt as if I had watched a pilot episode of the umpteenth television series. 'Devil's gate' is such a film where the story doesn't really match the footage when it comes to quality. Unfortunately. Because it had potential.

Has it's moments, but..Permalink
elmoslively8 August 2018
This film is overwrought and overacted and fits well into the middle of M. Night Shyamalan's middle years of film making. It does kind of look cool at times and some of the creature work is okay, with a couple of creepy scenes. Unfortunately, it leaves itself wide open for a sequel, but one hopes that won't happen.

The movie was good. Acting was ok, some people far better than others. The drawback is that the movie introduced so many interesting concepts but failed to fully develop any of them. The movie has about 3-4 good areas that if fleshed would make this an 7-8 hands down. But for the actors, the storyline and the scenery I'd give it a 5.

kosmasp19 October 2017
This starts off being one thing, but as we soon learn, there is much more to it. Which is really nicely done and interwoven with the story. So some may be disappointed with this not being straightforward, but I like the fact it takes chances. It is not perfect at all, but it has an interesting and unnerving story, with some excellent actors and a really good script to hold it all together.
So while I won't talk too much about the plot (it really should be experienced, especially if you like horror in general, mixed with other ingredients that make it eerie), but I can tell you that the effects are really good. And that the ending .. well may not be for everyone but is exactly what it should be .. whether you like it or not ..

ehh..could have been betterPermalink
Worth a watch on dvd or netflix.I gave it a four. Would have given it a 5.5 if the lead character 'Milo Ventimiglia' who plays Jackson Prichard wasn't such a bad actor. Interesting story / plot.somewhat dull overall but not bad. directing, camera, angles, lighting, scenery etc. are all good.

Fairly original and very well done.Permalink
S_Soma6 January 2018
Warning: SpoilersWhat exactly is it that the farmer has locked up in his basement?
DEVIL'S GATE establishes its atmosphere with its very first shot which is an eye line down an arrow-straight dirt road that proceeds to the vanishing point. There is just the road, endless vistas of flat, featureless hectares of dirt on either side, and all beneath a monotonous sky. Barreling down the dirt road, an early model muscle car suddenly dies just as it passes a ramshackle farm. This farm will be the focal point of the majority of the movie.
As there is nothing else but this farm as far as the eye can see, the driver of the car seeks assistance at the farm, which, as it turns out, is very unfortunate for the driver. In the fullness of time we learn that what happens to the driver is just an unfortunate case of wrong place, wrong time.
And that is an example of the strength of this movie. Something strange is definitely going on, but we don't know exactly WHAT is going on for some time. On the face of it, what we THINK is sequentially unfolding is a more or less mundane investigation by an imported FBI agent come to assist the local sheriff's office in a missing persons (or perhaps murder) case. It's never very clear why the FBI is called in on what should be a local missing persons case, but there is a vague reference mentioned that the local sheriff's department is 'under scrutiny' right now and we viewers conclude that this scrutiny has led to the involvement of the FBI agent.
Apparently, on the face of it, a local farmer, the same farmer were the driver met his unfortunate end, has blown a head gasket which has resulted in the disappearance of his wife and son, and the disappearance has been reported by the sister of the disappeared woman. In a clear, sequential fashion, a collection of scenes and circumstances lead us to believe that the monotony and difficulty of farm life in this desolate place has caused the farmer to become unglued and to do something unspeakable to his wife and son which may be either outright murder or, as we are led to believe, he has perhaps locked them in the basement in unpleasant circumstances. The farm itself looks like it has been transformed by the farmer into a barricade situation. What happened to the driver we viewers would probably conclude is simply an unfortunate side effect of the farmer's mental illness and hostility to the outside world's interference.
The reality of the true circumstances of the situation are much, much different. Seeing where this movie is going to go is a big part of the fun.
While the horror/supernatural/paranormal movies are the cultural red-headed bastard children of the movie industry, they are my personal favorites. Unfortunately, the vast majority of such movies, especially with the rise of the 'found footage' sub genre, are unmitigated crap. Only a tiny fraction are any good and, very happily, DEVIL'S GATE falls into this tiny fraction. Within this class of movie, DEVIL'S GATE is pretty much as good as it gets. Cinematography is excellent, atmosphere is taught and sustained, the relatively small quantity of special-effects is exceptionally well done, satisfyingly scary, and does not usurp the storyline, the music contributes well and appropriately to excellent effect, etc. This movie is just a very well done, well thought-out and executed example of this genre.
Of course the individual plot elements have all been done before because, at this point in mankind's history of storytelling and moviemaking, pretty much every plot element has already been used. But this particular combination and expression is original as far as I know. And most satisfyingly and rather unusually for this genre, it's not just dripping with gaping plot holes. It's actually pretty tight.
A particularly nice touch is that the movie came to its conclusion in a very reasonable way, but also left the door just enough open that a sequel could easily be made. Personally, I very much hope this happens.

Squandered PossibilitiesPermalink
gluonpaul24 September 2018
Warning: SpoilersThere really is nothing worse than a lost opportunity at something great.
The acting talent in this movie is decent, Shawn Ashmore does a good job, Jonathan Frakes shines for the short time he is on camera and Amanda Schultz does an decent job.
The basic plot is done well, essentially a remake with a twist on the invasion of the body snatchers plot.
Some of the sequences are well shot and competently put together on screen and the creature design although a little bland works for the purpose of the movie and isnt overdone on screen.
This movie looks for a time as though it is going to subvert some expectations and here is where we start going in the other direction. It seems for a time as though it is leading you to believe the father is a bad guy, in todays cinema a pretty standard trope. Then it looks like it is all changing, you start feeling like the plot is developing to become something more than just a bog standard horror movie with typical tropes.. and then it doesnt. Suddenly we are back to the father is just bad, mothers love trumps all, women all make men look incompetent, pets are killed (please stop doing that movies). Just standard movie tropes from the last 20 years.
This really felt like it could have been so much more and in the end left you feeling disappointed. If it didnt initially make you feel it was going to provide more than the bog standard for modern horrors it may have got a slightly higher rating, if it had followed through and actually broken some of the molds it could have got a far higher score but as it is, well it just doesnt cut the mustard.

Better than expected, not so much so that I would recommend. The story definitely is not what you expected it to go. This is really not a horror as it being described.
Story: InterestingActing:Decent
Overall: it was about two decisions from being a 7 out of 10. The ending leaves you slightly unfulfilled. It was almost as if they were purposely preparing for a sequel.
Overall, it did what it was supposed to do, pass time and not make me regret watching.

Creepy and mysterious with interesting twist.Permalink

Devil's Gate 2017 Download Torrent Pc
The film features some really fantastic photography, and also really awesome visuals. The story itself was rather creepy and mysterious. The film was shot almost in monochromatic grey where other colors were not well defined. I'm not sure if this was the intention to blend in with the theme, or if it simply appears that way. The acting in general was good, and I enjoyed the mysterious feel to the film. The film has an interesting twist that changes everything we thought we knew about the father looking for his son..

Unnerving Thrill RidePermalink
socal_sagaman7 July 2017
I can't give too much away or it will spoil the many plot twists in this tense and atmospheric supernatural thriller. You won't be bored for a minute. Great performances by the whole cast that compliments some incredible photography. The creepy farm is a character in and of itself. Grab some popcorn and turn out the lights, you're in for a scary ride.
NOTE: Apparently some people are watching a cheap impostor film that uses Devil's Gate's poster and summary to lure people in.
Any quick perusal and it'll be clear that this IS NOT THE DEVIL'S GATE starring Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Schull, Shawn Ashmore, and Bridget Regan. Devil's Gate is not online, and has only screened at the Tribeca Film Festival and the Newport Beach Film Festival (and soon at Fright Fest in London, UK).

REALLY good movie. Creepy as hell, and in the best way possible; you don't know where it's taking you next.It felt that real horror fans were behind it. Fans of Tobe Hooper or John Carpenter (at his best). Everyone is good in it, but Amanda Schull really brings it. The writing is smart, and it's beautifully shot. Desolate, dark and foreboding. I hope it gets some attention.

Unexpected treat.Permalink
ommbomb19 January 2018
I went into this film with no idea of the subject matter.or cast.basically not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Not everyone's cup of tea but if you hold a flame for movies that tread ground in the theme of alien abduction you might (like me) find this film a rewarding way to spend your time. Plus the cast are also a great surprise once you become aware they are all very familiar for smaller parts in smaller movies that you have seen before. The FX are of high quality.I loved the juxtaposition of confusion between 'angelic beings/demons'.and earths garden variety of interstellar child thieves! I do not want to spoil this for anyone.I almost gave it a miss and was glad I did not. I hope you get a kick from it as I did. And Elizabeth Schull is gorgeous as always.

The storyline is flawed, there is no real underlying suspense, so it lacks the typical anxiety build up of most horror and thriller genre movies. The antagonist in the movie is muddled because it juggles between these aliens and one of the leads, without ever really creating any suspense.
Disappointing is an understatement.

Commander Riker heads an unknown cast in this beautifully shot sci-fi thrillerPermalink

I'm not going to spell out the synopsis since it's been done before. This seemingly low budget thriller does a fine job putting all the pieces together. The acting, for the most part is adequate. The fx are a lot better than what I've seen in films with a much bigger budget.The director (Clay Staub) does a great job of hiding the monster until it couldn't be hidden any longer.With the exception of some CGI you never get the feeling that this is a cheap and cheesy student film.But by far the crowning glory of the whole project is the brilliant cinematography. Miroslaw Baszak does an excellent job of capturing the bleak and dreary landscape to the point that you don't want to visit the area, let alone live there. His interior shots are perfectly lit, giving the desired creepy-old-house affect while still allowing us to see what's going on.Editing, sound design and the score all complement the film so seamlessly that you never think about them - you experience them.The story is nothing new. (But what is these days?) It combines elements of several other stories we've all seen before. Which isn't to say that it's bad, it's just not ground breaking.All in all the completed project is something that all cast & crew involced should be proud to have been a part of.

Better than I thought it was going to be.Permalink

Warning: SpoilersBut, I still had to fast-forward the DVD a lot. As it was somewhat riveting (sort of a cross between X-FILES and Wm. Hope Hodgson's 'House On The Borderland'). Yet, not a hundred percent so. For example, Jonathan Frakes, as the county sheriff, was completely unrecognizable, to me, until I heard him speak. Did he have to make himself that overweight, on purpose, for this role? God, I hope so! The only other name I recognized from the cast credits was Shawn Ashmore as Deputy Colton. I love his work on KILLJOYS! So, he was just as believable, here.
As for the actors playing the Pritchard family? I think they've watched one too many re-runs of DELIVERANCE. They sounded more Appalachian than Canadian or North Dakotan.
In short; only rent this on DVD if you're trying to kill time between Saturday night college football telecasts. Because, that's about all it's good for.

Amazingly Bending StoryPermalink
Made Easy Answer Key

This movie is a very well crafted horror film. It has great performances which add to the well done characters. The atmosphere is very mysterious and the story is constantly destroying expectations. While there are a few things I didn't like I was overall very impressed by a movie that I've seen no attention given to.
I would recommend this to any horror or suspense fan. The story is smart and knows what it's doing.

Devil's Gate 2017 Watch
From the opening shot to the last frame this film excels.
Love the eerie atmosphere, creepy sound effects and the dark and mysterious mood created right from the beginning.
Great acting from all involved especially Amanda Schull who really carried the film well and reminds me of Sharon Stone (With the addition that she can actually act that is!). I really hope she goes places as she really impressed all of us at the showing and we were all Movie Geeks and there wasnt a single one of us who didnt rate this film at the showing! Even good old Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek played his part well!
Special effects were superior and the story wended its way down the road to the conclusion - even the final scene which usually kills most films was welcome and wound everything up nicely - Loved the bible quote too!
The other reviewer KOSMASP is spot on its a 7/10 and the current rating of 4.5 is disgraceful.
If you are looking for a good scifi horror with amazing photography, acting and a decent story for once then give this a try - I guarantee if you are a fan of the genre you will not go away disappointed.
