The Ninth Gate
Originally released: 1999
Welcome back to the US, Roman. Now that the warrant for underage sex (alleged) is defunct, you can return to your (adopted) land and carry on making movies that will never be as good as Rosemary’s Baby. Not that this 'supernatural thriller' was a blatant attempt to cash in on the cult reputation of that film, given the renewed popularity of the horror / thriller genre. This sucks more than Bless The Child and almost as much as Judgement Day (less blows up) as a record of the millennial 'moment'. Here's to another thousand years without apocalyptic angst.
