“[A] movie of unusual visual elegance and moody classicism, full of beautiful shivery scenes framed with a master's care and wicked jokester's pranky perversity”

- Michael Wilmington

“[T]he self-immolating and oblivion-bound Ninth Gate is the kind of film that's going to give satanic cults a bad name”

- Jay Carr
