	Author	Review
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Even the many interesting actors couldn’t keep me interested. Simply a shame (...) It just feels like a watered-down western version of 'From Dusk Till Dawn (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"Slow to start, though tense as it progresses and beautifully produced (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Witches and the Old West don't mix (...) [It] represents yet another stylistic mash-up that ends up less than the sum of its parts."	NEG
United States	Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle	"As a B-horror movie, 'The Pale Door' holds its own. As a Western, however, the film struggles (...) If you are willing to look past the film’s genre shortcomings (...) you might find the film to be worth your while (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Michelle Swope Dread Central	"A wildly entertaining combination of great practical effects and an outstanding cast that is sure to please any horror fan (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"[It] attempts to take a ghoulish turn with semi-decent make-up work. But Koontz’s command over the material is so absent that it is at times hard to distinguish his film from a spoofy Western-themed fair (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
