I’ve seen most of the ones that keep coming up when I search online: Event Horizon, Hellraiser, The House that Jack Built, The Gate, The Void, As Above so Below etc. looking for any other good suggestions, thanks!

- Hellbound: Hellraiser II. And speaking of puddles of blood…Clive Barker’s original Hellraiser is a classic, but its sequel does exactly what it should by actually going to Hell and doubling down on all of the delicious cenobite lore.
- Event Horizon. Colloquially referred to as “Hellraiser in Space,” it’s a more than fair comparison point and it’s not hard to see how Paul W.S. Anderson was eventually given the keys to the Resident Evil cinematic franchise due to work like this.
- The Beyond. Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond is the title getting the spotlight here, but really any of the films from the directors “Gates of Hell” trilogy (City of the Living Dead and House by the Cemetery being the other two) qualify quite nicely, aptly enough.
- The Gate. Honestly, this selection just as easily could have been Polanski’s Johnny Depp vehicle, The Ninth Gate, but these films are about the same in quality, and you’re probably more familiar with Polanski’s entry.

Little Caesar came to theaters in January 1931 and The Public Enemy followed that April. But before either and coming courtesy of the same studio, Warner Brothers, The Doorway to Hellmade a huge hit with theatergoers in October 1930. The Doorway to Hellis no static early talkie. It is driven by action punctuated by violence as well as dynamic actin...
Out of the black a newspaper printing press rattles off copies which serve as the backdrop for our opening credits. Ripped from the headlines indeed! These are your headlines, 1930. Zanuck and company are just breathing life into your newspapers and getting ready to introduce you to the real Monks, Midgets and Gimpys of the streets. Newspapers will...
Lew Ayres won't turn twenty-two until a couple of months after The Doorway to Hellis released. He looks every bit as baby-faced as that statement of fact would imply. And he's riding ridiculously high at the moment. The teenager had scored a break in landing a couple of small parts at Pathe Studios where he managed to be noticed by outgoing executi...
Before Louie takes the town over we get to meet James Cagney as Mileaway as he goes around town making sure all of the right people come to that overheated meeting. The Doorway to Hell is James Cagney's second film role after Warner Brothers called him and Joan Blondell out to Hollywood for Sinners' Holiday. It's a fantastic warm-up for what would ...
Dorothy Mathews plays Doris, Louie's girlfriend and quickly his wife in The Doorway to Hell. She's a pretty blonde though a bump in the middle of what's a bit of a pretty long and sharp nose stops me from calling her a great beauty. Ayres might be too pretty for her. Cagney is just right. But even if you don't find Mathews to be a looker, she's mor...
Louie Ricarno quit the mob and once the chaos that grows out of that gets personal he finds himself pulled back in. As Louie exacts his cold-blooded vengeance both Mileaway and Doris are pushed aside and the police chief, O'Grady, begins to play a bigger role. It's O'Grady along with a portrait of Napoleon in Exile who play out Louie's final scene ...
While The Doorway to Hell delivers a satisfying pay-off it falls far short of the memorable last shots of Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar or Cagney in The Public Enemy that I easily recall to mind simply in typing out this sentence. I wouldn't call the final moments of The Doorway to Hellinconclusive by any stretch, but it lacks the definitive ...

It was made in Ireland (with some very Irish accents coming through in minor characters) but set in the US. It is a cheesy little film but rather enjoyable.
