*full disclosure: an Blu-ray screener of this film was provided by IFC Films. **there are spoilers here. Director/writer: Nicholas McCarthy. Cast: Catalina Sandino Moreno, Naya Rivera, Ashley Rickards and Mark Steger. At the Devil's Door is the first film of the year to send real chills up this viewer's spine. Director and writer Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact) delivers another memorable and frightening tale. The film's central plot involves the birth of the Devil. This plot device has been used before in films like Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Devil's Due (2014) and many others. Here, McCarthy offers his own unique vision on the subject, which is most effectively delivered through the film's sound design. Horrifying visuals are minimized, while unsettling sounds and music are maximized, to terrifying effect. Well shot, At the Devil's Door is a truly horrifying viewing experience. In the story, Hannah (Ashley Rickards), unwittingly, makes a deal with the Devil.
