The Pale Door

Extremely disappointing! Jake the little brother literally killed the movie! The movie could have been much better than what it is. Cheap movie even though the idea was good. You could tell that the producer is not good. I am very disappointed to have wasted time watching this movie.

I like the plot even though it slightly mirrors the same plot of Robert Rodriguez' 1996 film called From Dusk til Dawn but with witches. Plus acting was pretty fair.

Could of been a decent film if it had a higher budget. The story isn't bad, it was just hard to watch. The camera work and sets looked too low budget. I turned the movie off about half way in. Pass on this one unless you like low budget horror films.

A gang of outlaws successfully pulls off a train heist, but instead of gold, the chest they steal reveals a young woman inside. Now it looks suspicious why wud somebody put a girl inside a trunk n lock it, chain it n guard it but the girl claims she was taken from her home n says that there would be a handsome reward for the gang if they return her home.

For a low budget, the director did a decent job. It is a nice genre mash up n fans of western n horror films will enjoy it. I am generous with an 8 cos i enjoyed it. Simple, aint no wannabe critic. It has good effects, lots of demonic witches, a lil nudity (blink n u miss some good busty boobs) n one of the best scene involving boots with spurs.

Well, initially all I knew about "The Pale Door" was that it was allegedly some sort of horror movie. And truth be told, that was essentially all that was needed to have my interest. But I must also say that the movie's cover/poster definitely had caught my attention as well.

So I sat down to watch the 2020 movie titled "The Pale Door", not really knowing what to expect from it, so writers Cameron Burns, Aaron B. Koontz and Keith Lansdale had all the possibilities to impress me with this movie.

Sadly, they didn't really manage to do so. Sure, I will admit that "The Pale Door" definitely had potential, but director Aaron B. Koontz just dropped the ball before the movie hit the halfway marker, and the movie never regained its momentum after that. And it ended up being a less than mediocre movie, actually.

The storyline told in "The Pale Door" started out adequately, but it was fast sliding downhill before hitting the halfway milestone, and director Aaron B. Koontz didn't manage to bring the movie back on track. And then suddenly there were crisp and burnt women milling about, just to add to an already befuddled storyline.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was adequate, but it was a real shame that the actors and actresses had precious little to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline. And it reflected poorly on the overall impression of the movie.

I am rating this western horror a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. This was a movie that came quietly in under the radar, and it will leave just as quietly as well, never to be seen a second time. I suppose if you have absolutely nothing else to watch, "The Pale Door" can suffice. But don't get your hopes up for a grand moment in cinematic history.
