The Hollywood Reporter

Though the FX and photography are competent for a film of this scale, the screenwriters appear to have put much less effort into dialogue and pacing.

I really dug the first two-thirds of director and co-writer Clay Staub's Devil's Gate, the initial setup and the kinetically enthralling second act bolting me forward in my seat...

Rated: 2.5/4

Village Voice

In a cardinal sin of genre filmmaking, [Clay] Staub also lets his audience figure out the twists before his characters do, all while he overexplains the plot

Wicked Horror

Character driven, creepy and loaded with legitimately puzzling twists and turns, it's one of the strongest offerings in its sub-genre in years.

Rated: 8/10

Dread Central

Devil's Gate beams into its story with reckless abandon, but advances far quicker than audiences keep up with. At least there are some cool Javier Botet aliens, though?

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Pulse

It simply rehashes a plotline we've seen many times before but doesn't add anything of value to it.

Rated: 3.5/10

This movie is actually FANTASTIC! Must watch if you like scifi with a mix of horror =D Don't watch the trailer and avoid looking at the poster/cover, cause one of them is a little spoiler ish'. I love movies like Alien, aliens, the thing and stuff like that =)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Disfrutable. Empieza bien pero después la historia desbarranca un par de veces, no la arruina pero entiendo que no es para todo el mundo. *SPOILER NIVEL DIOS*: Igual valoro el esfuerzo, parece que no es fácil hacer películas de terror con aliens ya que no es la primera vez que veo que pasa.

Not the worst movie Ive seen, but this movie gets a low rating for being a misleading title. I was hoping for some supernatural demon movie I got an alien who will be the new Jesus for his species. Don't care if I spoiled it, It really doesn't deserve any attention.

You know…even the trailer was incredibly misleading. Then, when the stick was plunged into the mobile mess on the floor and furiously enwrapped in sinuous somethings, I realized this was far more sci fi than I expected. I wanted detective. I didn't receive detective. I received unexplained physics…loss of electricity all around following a thunderstorm that should have been in that Moses movie with Charlton Heston two generations ago. Seemed like the rest would be more of the same. Gave up at 41:40 in.

Gave up in the first hour when you see the villain has a "demon" in a cage in his basement. PASS!!!!
