I truly enjoyed the narrative that drove this film. The introduction spoke about "Magdalene Laundries" , where these women and girls shunned by society were thrown here to be forgotten to maintain a "pure" image for the Catholic Church. This story was very well strung together, but I have grievances. This film has adopted many clichés of the supernatural genre, which takes away from the grim reality this film is based on. The pacing felt "off" and the scares were lackluster. That being said, I still enjoyed The Devil's Doorway and the story that was woven. I just wished the horror aspect would be as unique as the narrative.

Terribly predictable. The most horrifying part is that the Catholic Church is real and destroys the lives of women and children daily.

The film was ok. It has it’s moments but it lacks. Too short but it needed more punch.

I was really pumped by Father Longlegs' fearless advance like a light in the darkness. Those footage scenes were quite good. I'm someone who really enjoys found footage films. No matter how bad or good the plot of the film is, found footage really elevates it. That's how I see it. The use of vintage sound editing, old-style voiceovers, and classic camera angles added a unique realism and class to the film. The ending could have been a bit better.
