3/10
Pale Bore or Pale Snore...You Decide

Warning: Spoilers
The Pale Door has a somewhat cool poster and had a decent idea or two. Unfortunately that's about it in terms of the positives of the review. The negatives far outweigh them. The story takes close to 40 minutes to actually get going and is mostly boring. It's about a group of western outlaws who end up trapped in a cursed town inhabited by witches. They want to capture the youngest gang member who is the brother of the wounded leader and had only joined the rest of the gang in a heist for the first time. He is apparently pure hearted and would sustain the witches for a long time.

The acting is nothing to write home about even though most of the main cast has worked on some very good movies in the past so the problem must be with the bad story, script and dialogue none of which are engaging or exciting. The action is kind of funny at times and so are the effects but not in a good way. More in a cringeworthy way. The sets look very fake and as someone already pointed out the clothes are all too clean. The story has a few similarities to From Dusk Till Dawn but that movie is superior in every possible way. It would be better to watch that instead. Overall this is best avoided or forgotten as soon as possible.
