THE ENIGMA OF DEVIL'S GATE DAM

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the unsettling history of Devil's Gate Dam, a site shrouded in mystery and occult lore. Set against the backdrop of the 1920s dam construction and the later fascination of occultists in the 1940s, the narrative explores a chilling attempt to breach the veil between worlds. The focus on figures like rocket scientist Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard, drawn by the allure of Aleister Crowley's teachings, adds a layer of historical intrigue. Their ambitious, albeit disturbing, goal of summoning a "moonchild" to usher in a new era is presented as a testament to the potent, and sometimes dangerous, allure of esoteric beliefs. The film effectively captures the eerie atmosphere of the location, hinting at the darkness that may linger where legend and ritual converge.
