AT THE DEVIL’S DOOR

When ambitious young real estate agent Leigh is asked to sell a house with a checkered past, she crosses paths with a disturbed girl whom she learns is the runaway daughter of the couple selling the property. When Leigh tries to intervene and help her, she becomes entangled with a supernatural force that soon pulls Leigh’s artist sister Vera into its web and has sinister plans for both of them.

Director Nicolas McCarthy, who already proved he had a talent for horror and suspense with his debut feature The Pact, has woven some cinematic satanic verses in a compact and multilayered horror ride. He puts some well fleshed out, complex characters on the screen in this highly atmospheric tale of demonic temptation.
