The premise and mood of this movie were amazing. This is the exact type of thing I like to see in thrillers. However, it really could've been better executed.
Firstly, the girls' role is never really explained. Who is she? Why is she helping him? She has these levitation and eye magical abilities so she's clearly not human but then is she the devil or his helper? I wish they would've, in the end at least, told us who she is because we don't know for sure and that is annoying.
Secondly, they put all this effort in focusing on these "gates", and the books, and how they differ only to leave the viewer empty handed in the end on what it all means. What was the point of him writting the LCF and AT on that paper? What was he getting at? What is the meaning of the differences in the images of the different books? Everything is so cool and intriguing but nothing is explained in the end, leaving it completly up to the viewer. I know online and from the book there is an explanation but I wish the directors would've clarified it in the end. Otherwise it all kind of seems pointless.
They had this great and unique topic, a rare book, something I've never seen a topic of a thriller before, but they messed it up. I think they were planning a sequel but it never happened. Eitherway, it was more lackluster than you'd expect a movie of this type to be. I really expected more and was dissapointed by the lazy attempt at concluding the story.
