John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Jan 11, 2018
Though the FX and photography are competent for a film of this scale, the screenwriters appear to have put much less effort into dialogue and pacing. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
I really dug the first two-thirds of director and co-writer Clay Staub's Devil's Gate, the initial setup and the kinetically enthralling second act bolting me forward in my seat... Go to Full Review
April Wolfe Village Voice Jan 4, 2018
In a cardinal sin of genre filmmaking, [Clay] Staub also lets his audience figure out the twists before his characters do, all while he overexplains the plot Go to Full Review

8/10
Character driven, creepy and loaded with legitimately puzzling twists and turns, it's one of the strongest offerings in its sub-genre in years. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Devil's Gate beams into its story with reckless abandon, but advances far quicker than audiences keep up with. At least there are some cool Javier Botet aliens, though? Go to Full Review

3.5/10
It simply rehashes a plotline we've seen many times before but doesn't add anything of value to it. Go to Full Review

Hermione S Apr 6, 2019 Started off kinda promising. Milo is bomb - but the combination of actually seeing these 'angels' and then the weird underdeveloped back story just fell flat towards the end. CG wasn't so great either See more
Han S Jan 16, 2019 This movie suck to a point of biblical proportions
Kylo G Dec 4, 2018 Huh...what the hell did I just watch.Next time work an actual workable screenplay in.
Leia M Dec 4, 2018 The horror movie that almost was. Great acting all around couldn't help this story one bit. Every word of dialogue seemed to come from other movies I've seen in the past. Character motivations also felt like déjà vu, as if the movie was using well established recipes. It just didn't work and ended up being a sequence of well executed special effects devoid of human emotions. I couldn't even care for the child which is a bad indication of failure in story telling.

George R Nov 17, 2018 The most interesting part of this movie was my enthusiasm to see just how bad it would actually get. A middling premise and weak character that couldn't be ressurcted by an otherwise decent cast. Watch if you have absolutely nothing else to do! See more
Harry R Oct 31, 2018 The concept of the movie is interesting and the 1st half of the movie is solid, but unfortunately falls flat at the end.
