The Ninth Gate
The story is thrilling when the life of Boris Balkan turns into a real nightmare when he gets a 17th-century Satanic text called 'Nine Gates.' This book will probably cause a conspiracy of satanic nature because the author of this book is the devil himself in a terrible and brutal way. In the end, things might turn out again when Corso found himself at the center of the strange and violent events because of that satanic book, and may face many evil plots because of his satanic book.

Watching The Ninth Gate is like being force-marched through dank rooms piled high with musty books, led by drab tour guides who mutter the same pedantic points over and over.

It's so disappointing for the director of Rosemary's Baby to have to stoop to something as desperate as pyrotechnics and nudity.

The film never gets around to illuminating much about the lead character.

...it ultimately does go without saying that Polanski's fans will find more to embrace here than his detractors.

At least the action is moved by earthbound dementia rather than by the power of a divinity.

Sorely underrated...wisely counter-cultural to Hollywood's idea of what a supernatural thriller should be. [Blu-ray]
