The Devil’s Doorway
Arriving May 15 on Shudder is this 2018 found-footage chiller following a pair of priests investigating mysterious goings-on at one of Ireland’s notorious “Magdalene laundaries,” circa 1960. They discover that the female residents (including young unwed mothers) are being cruelty treated by the nuns in charge, which thanks to the tragic history of the real-life institutions isn’t entirely surprising. Far more alarming is their discovery that something more outrageously unholy is also afoot, as the film’s very title suggests.
