Ninth Gate, The

A wry and cerebral horror movie from director Roman Polanski, The Ninth Gate is surprisingly gripping until its devilishly silly ending. Johnny Depp, delightfully eccentric as usual, stars as a rare book appraiser who gets
caught up in the world of demonic texts, but even his engaging presence can’t save the film from literally and figuratively going up in flames.
