The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

FBI Special Agent Daria Francis (Amanda Schull) is assigned to travel to Devil's Gate, a small town in North Dakota, to investigate the disappearance of Maria Pritchard (Bridget Regan) and her son Jonah. Her prime suspect is the husband and father Jackson Pritchard (Milo Ventimiglia), who lives in a farm in the middle of nowhere. However Sheriff Gruenwell (Jonathan Frakes) asks Francis to let Jackson alone since he would be a good man. Deputy Conrad 'Colt' Salter (Shawn Ashmore) heads with Francis to interview Maria´s sister and she leaves her house convinced that Jackson may be hiding them. When they arrive at his farm, Jackson assaults Maria and she enters the house to investigate, and finds a weird thing. What is Jackson hiding?"Devil´s Gate" is a surprisingly good and underrated sci-fi film. The screenplay is intriguing and the lead cast (Amanda Schull, Shawn Ashmore and Milo Ventimiglia have good performances. The conclusion after the initial credits is a cliffhanger for a possible sequence. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Set in the fictional town of Devil's Gate a federal agent teams with a local officer to investigate a missing wife & child. Trouble is their investigation leads them to the unbalanced husband and his trap filled home.I expected horror, it was advertised as horror..........it's not really.Milo Ventimiglia and Shawn Ashmore star in this interesting but ultimately flawed sci-fi movie which looks great but lacks in too many areas that matter.Jonathan Frakes from Next Generation also stars and is particuly good, shame his role was a tad too small.I liked the plot I did, even though I'm not a big sci-fi guy I think they did a good enough job here and left it open for potential sequels. Sadly it doesn't flow all too well and something just didn't sit right for me.Watchable effort and this may really appeal to some, for me it was a deeply average offering.The Good:Decent plotJonathan FrakesGreat opening sequenceThe Bad:Poorly pacedSeriously, stop killing pets in every damn movieThings I Learnt From This Movie:Milo Ventimiglia plays unhinged characters far too wellI would happily live in that house, yes I'm weird

From the opening shot to the last frame this film excels.Love the eerie atmosphere, creepy sound effects and the dark and mysterious mood created right from the beginning.Great acting from all involved especially Amanda Schull who really carried the film well and reminds me of Sharon Stone (With the addition that she can actually act that is!). I really hope she goes places as she really impressed all of us at the showing and we were all Movie Geeks and there wasnt a single one of us who didnt rate this film at the showing! Even good old Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek played his part well!Special effects were superior and the story wended its way down the road to the conclusion - even the final scene which usually kills most films was welcome and wound everything up nicely - Loved the bible quote too!The other reviewer KOSMASP is spot on its a 7/10 and the current rating of 4.5 is disgraceful.If you are looking for a good scifi horror with amazing photography, acting and a decent story for once then give this a try - I guarantee if you are a fan of the genre you will not go away disappointed.

On a scale of 1-10 I give this movie these ratings... Acting= 0 Effects= -3 Plot= -2 Interest = -10 I can only say stay away from this movie if you like movies!
