review by
Mike Haberfelner

A serialkiller whose m.o. includes clobbering his victims to death with a baseball bat and cutting their still beating hearts out of their bodies is roaming town ... and leaving the police baffled. Pretty much their only clue is a legend from the 19th century when a man (James Shiels III) struck a deal with the Devil (Billy Cobb) where sacrificing a woman every fortnight would keep him out of hell - but that's really nothing more than an old wife's tale ... or is it?

Enter Bill (James Shiels III again), a veteran returning from Afghanistan with a severe trauma after having been held by the Taliban for 6 months, and having been made their chief executioner by their leader (Billy Cobb again), being forced to clobber other American hostages to death ... with a baseball bat. Bill has eventually freed himself by clobbering his capturers to death, but has been unhinged ever since. But now he thinks he has seen said Taliban leader with a baseball bat and a presumably dead body, and he reports it to the police. Detective Young (Ricky D'Alonzio) though is quick to smell something fishy, and he's quick to suspect Bill himself to be the killer, even if he might not be aware of it. But he's also a man spiritual enough to take that old legend into account ... and the conclusions he draws from all of this might lead to utter disaster ...

 

Basically, The Devils Door is a movie that's pretty raw and gloss-free in its depiction of the horrors it shows, and - despite a somewhat convoluted backstory - very straightforward in its narrative ... and that's a good thing in this cast, as it takes indie horrors back to its grindhouse roots without any "postmodern" additives, ill-fitting irony, or out-of-place political correctness, instead giving the audience the raw deal with many well-places shocks, some genre-immanent ugliness, bits of nudity, and no directorial pretentions whatsoever. Maybe not a film for everybody, but wildly enjoyable for the genre fan!
