60 of 180 · most liked firstFive years ago I made a fully leather bound copy of ‘The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows’ from the movie 'The Ninth Gate'. I lost it and everything else in the house fire a few years back. I am going to make another copy and I might actually make proper woodcuts of the illustrations.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE NINTH GATE (1999) director’s cut where instead of self-immolating, the seemingly apotheosized villain has one of his followers hack his head off with a machete and try to bowl a three hundred game in real time. he tries to steer a little but it doesn’t work. the rest of the film is unchanged
neutral · AI labelView post →Looks like the Ninth Gate is our next #horrorwatch movie! And since Night of the Demon has been so close the last three polls, we'll do that one next Saturday
neutral · AI labelView post →this movie The Ninth Gate is pretty dull but it was worth it for when Frank Langella comes storming into the satan worship ceremony like, You dumb fucks in your jack ass robes don't know SHIT about satan. Know who knows about satan? ME
neutral · AI labelView post →#filmsky The private life of birthday boy Johnny Depp has lately eclipsed his great film career, but he spots a smart opportunity in working with directors like Tim Burton (Sleepy Hollow) and Roman Polanski (The Ninth Gate), two fab cult horror films. Johnny brings a fine dry wit to both; I’m a fan.
positive · AI labelView post →i think a lot about how cursed The Ninth Gate movie is
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Ninth Gate. Not very well-liked, but an underrated horror movie. Just like Wolf, it plays things completely straight, and that verisimilitude props up the supernatural elements in a way most horror movies, maybe especially devil movies, don't bother to.
positive · AI labelView post →THE NINTH GATE is a Roman Polanski film starring Johnny Depp based on a novel (EL CLUB DUMAS) by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Polanski raped a minor; Johnny Depp has the whole Amber Heard thing. As a film, it's fine, it's fun. But it's not required viewing in the way ROSEMARY'S BABY is for horror.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was feeling sad about missing #horrorwatch tonight, but I just saw that the movie is The Ninth Gate, and to be honest, I loathe that film with my whole heart, so while I'll miss everyone, I'm not too bothered about skipping this week. I'll see you all next week though 🩸❣️🩸
negative · AI labelView post →Perfect beginning (trigger warning!) to Roman Polanski's THE NINTH GATE (1999) with music by the great Wojciech Kilar. Depp was still tolerable back then, playing straight man in a cast of gloriously grandstanding ham. It's a very, very funny film (though maybe only if you're a sick puppy like me).
positive · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Club Dumas (1993) by Arturo Pérez-Reverte was adapted to film as the Ninth Gate in 1999 & directed by Roman Polanski. The literary leanings of the novel such as the Alexandre Dumas subplot is reduced. The film emphasizes the supernatural over mystery. 📜😈🔥 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #326 From Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, The Tenant, to The Ninth Gate - Polanski as controversial a figure as he is, undoubtedly knew how to blend darkness into horror in a strangely mesmerising way. #4K #BluRay #FilmSky

neutral · AI labelView post →My answer to this is always The Ninth Gate, an insane Roman Polanski movie starring Johnny Depp as a rare book dealer searching for a book that was written by the devil
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ninth Gate. I've watched this film at least two dozen times. Has such a great atmosphere.

positive · AI labelView post →Rosemary's Baby The Witch The Devil Rides Out The Omen cosmic horror: Quatermass and the Pit Prince of Darkness just a lot of fun: The Ninth Gate—inversion of the parable The Prodigal Son occult but not precisely satanic: A Dark Song—perhaps the best occult film The Legend of Hell House
neutral · AI labelView post →#filmsky Just watched: The Ninth Gate. Polanski’s most stylish film has a fab new Blu Ray, sizzling with satanic goodies. Johnny Depp’s sly fox & Frank Langella’s sinister satanist make a gorgeous couple; Emmanuelle Seigner is giddy comic relief as Green Eyes. Great travelogue of Paris and Lisbon
positive · AI labelView post →Johnny Depp is a hit with Tubi viewers. The Depp horror thriller classic "The Ninth Gate" is trending and now the Number 2 most watched film in the U.S. on the streaming service. #JohnnyDepp
neutral · AI labelView post →Ha! I’m sorry you can’t join us. Like the Ninth Gate, this movie has ancient woodcuts as plot points. #horrorwatch
neutral · AI labelView post →Just realized that the Club Dumas (novel adapted into the movie "The Ninth Gate") which I kept being like "it's been too soon for a re-read" I actually haven't re-read in six years so now I'm rereading it and folks: it's still really good. Plus this time I've actually read the Three Musketeers.
neutral · AI labelView post →After long day of online Nazi propaganda fighting, I've decided to unwind with a Roman Polanski film starring the great Johnny Depp. 'The Ninth Gate' 2000 Excited to see this one! #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel (The Ninth Gate)
neutral · AI labelView post →THE NINTH GATE is the best Cthulhu Mythos film.
positive · AI labelView post →The Ninth Gate is like, very very close to being A Movie I Love but it's also really dumb in a lot of ways. Also like, Fuck Polanski and Depp can eat turds too
neutral · AI labelView post →Been struggling with a story for a whole damn week, so I gotta set it aside and just indulge in some black magic weirdness. Tonight's writing music is THE NINTH GATE by Wojciech Kilar (from the film of the same name), because you can't go wrong with Kilar's music.
neutral · AI labelView post →Film - The Ninth Gate Dir. Roman Polanski Corso should have discarded the book from the jump and ran for the hills haha
positive · AI labelView post →On his advice, I am now watching the Ninth Gate.. and, it's a Roman Polanski film? That's opens with.. holy fuck.. let's strap in then..
neutral · AI labelView post →While approaching the Holy Trinity Church in Hrastovlje, the #movie "The Ninth Gate" with #JohnnyDepp came to mind. The #castle in the film looked as mysterious as this fortified #church near Koper. Inside, I saw #frescos known as the Dance of Death > www.travelwriticus.com/holy-trinity... #Slovenia
neutral · AI labelView post →Some people understandably won't mess with it, bc of the director (or even, nowadays, the star, echh), but The Ninth Gate is a fantastically enjoyable 'little film' occult noir—my favorite of the tiny genre—with wonderfully-villainous turns by Frank Langella & Lena Olin.
positive · AI labelView post →The Club Dumas. Great pulpy meets literary mystery/drama. Very engrossing. They made a solid, loosely adapted film of it in THE NINTH GATE, but the book is way better
neutral · AI labelView post →My current read: The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. Although some details are quite different in the book versus its film adaptation, The Ninth Gate (1999), it’s got a very similar neo-noir vibe.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ninth Gate, 1999. Totally underrated movie. One of Polanski’s best.
positive · AI labelView post →I picked up a copy of of the Dumas club after rewatching The Ninth Gate recently. I read this years ago and can’t find it so grabbed another copy. The illustrations in are similar to the ones in the film and there’s the multiple versions of each, but which ones did Lucifer draw?
neutral · AI labelView post →Good mail day. Got my movies from Vinegar Syndrome and a promo movie tee for THE NINTH GATE, which looks like a metal shirt and will probably get me canceled.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ninth Gate is a wonderful movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched The Ninth Gate last night. I like a Satanic horror film so don’t know why I’ve never seen this before. I enjoyed it although can’t claim to have figured out what it all means. I had forgotten it was a Roman Polanski film until the closing credits. It’s not Rosemary’s Baby but then,what is?
positive · AI labelView post →I finished reading 'Club Dumas' and I think I like it more than the movie (The Ninth Gate). I liked how Alexandre Dumas was intertwined with the plot. Now I have the need to read some more satanic literature, lol. Any suggestions #booksky?

positive · AI labelView post →Question: Is that the book that the movie THE NINTH GATE is based on? Because, until this moment, I didn't realize the movie (which I love) was based on a book but the synopsis seems like it.

neutral · AI labelView post →First discovered APR after learning The Ninth Gate (great film, of the Constantine sort) was based on his book The Club Dumas. Devoured that, then The Flanders Panel. Started the Alatristes while traveling last year but fell off them. Picked up again this week. Absolutely joyous. #books #booksky

neutral · AI labelView post →So I decided to watch The Ninth Gate to fall asleep to again, and never realized it was a Polanski film. I knew he was a creeper and avoiding the US for legal reasons. But I did a deep dive and found out just how big of creeper he actually is. Holy fuck.
neutral · AI labelView post →Closest would be "The Ninth Gate," although I think I agree with @eitang.bsky.social that a good soundtrack renders a movie at least ok
neutral · AI labelView post →For some reason, I remember the Ninth Gate being slow and atmospheric. It's basically a thriller. I wonder what movie I confused it with. #NowWatching #MovieSky #HorrorSky 🎥
neutral · AI labelView post →Fair enough. He looked EXACTLY like Dr. Strange in the movie The Ninth Gate
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ninth Gate. Now there's a movie I haven't thought about in some time.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching The Ninth Gate in chunks. Johnny Depp is a rare book dealer. All of these people touching these books with their bare hands and him smoking(‼️) over them is driving me bonkers. When he dropped ash on "one of three books in all the world" the authenticity kinda dropped, heh 🙄 #booksky
