Johnny Depp unlocks the gates to hell in Roman Polanski's thriller, THE NINTH GATE. Depp stars as Dean Corso, an unscrupulous rare-book dealer who is hired to locate the last remaining copies of "The Nine Gate of the Shadow Kingdom," a demonic manuscript that can summon the Devil. Corso becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving murder, theft and satanic ritual, and ultimately finds himself confronting the devil incarnate.

I love Johnny Depp. Roman Polanski is a great director. This is rubbish. So the book investigator guy doesn't appear to be a bit surprised by the multiple mysterious deaths? Not even mild surprise? Just boring. Mind numbingly dull. Oh and if it was supposed to be scary, I really hope it wasn't... I was actually embarrassed by the ending.

A very underrated picture for most involved, including Johnny Depp (when IS he appreciated for his work?) and director Polanski. A very dark, disturbing, and intriguing atmosphere of mystery, forbidden knowledge, and the supernatural. Great stuff.

I'm unable to activate the subtitles on this movie despite having downloaded it twice, and the volume seems excessively low even when on the highest setting. The actors engage in a lot of quietly spoken dialog and whispering, so it's frustrating and disappointing.
