The Ninth Gate (25-Aug-1999)
Director: Roman Polanski Keywords: Horror, Thriller
REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 25-Jun-2006) Roman Polanski is and always has
been a superb director, suspense and horror are strong points for
him...as with "Rosemary's Baby" (1969) starring Mia Farrow as the
terrified expecting mother of Satan's anti christ offspring. His films
undeniably delve into that underworld that we all have been curious
about. The Ninth Gate is a film I did personally enjoy, however other
viewers either did'nt care for, or did not understand the movie's
ending. I must admit that the ending in question did come as a surprise
to me also, but sometimes there are certain qualities to certain movies
that must be appreciated for the fact that maybe it was'nt meant to be
understood in the first place! The movie itself at times was listed as
being a "horror" film. But,there are certain channels or advertisements
that will list it as a "mystery/suspense" film, and in the case of the
previous listing, I must agree that the ending fully served its'
purpose, it indeed was a mystery that kept you guessing. Johnny Depp
and Frank Langella, who both in my opinion are underrated actors were
excellent in this film. This is a very genuine film, and a must see for
all who are devilishy curious!
