Considering the insane amount of exorcism movie tropes found in “The Devil’s Doorway,” this (“found-footage”) film still managed to bring some genuinely fun and compelling moments, earning it a double “stream.” Is it great? No. Does it have a good beginning and ending? No. But somehow the meat and potatoes of this Irish tale—and the director’s ability to shine a light on a little-shone, upsetting part of history—provided just enough to chew on, and some occasional spooky moments and atmosphere.
