User Reviews

It's linear, boring and uninteresting. Average.

The acting is mostly horrible. The lead is decent, though. The effects and editing are bad. The story is silly, with devil worshipers trying to "open the gate" to Hell and all that. The good guy is a psychic with knowledge of the occult and comes to fix the problem.

So, if you look at it differently, there is a problem with a door and they call in the mystical locksmith. With a lot of mambo jumbo that none of us, non technical people, would understand, he fixes the door and everybody goes back happy.

Am I joking? Not really. This movie is just as interesting as watching the locksmith fixing your front door and therefore I will stop here.
