action

Joseph Crone is a famous writer with a large following who lost his wife and son in a fire. This happened at 11:11 a.m.

On November 7, 2011, Crone woke up in his hotel room at 11:11 am and was visited by his agent. However, he is currently only writing a diary in which he denies the existence of God because of the events.

On November 8th, 2011, Joseph Crone had a car accident, which he miraculously survived without any injuries. The time of the accident is 11:11 a.m. On this day he received a call from his brother Samuel from Barcelona that his father was dying.

Crone travels to Barcelona on November 9th, 2011. There he is received by his brother Samuel, who is a priest and sits in a wheelchair. His dying father is also a former priest. Samuel tries to convert Joseph to the faith. He now realizes that the number 11 is following him and wants to warn him in some way. At the same time, demons keep appearing to him at 11:11 a.m.

On November 10, 2011, Crone found out that November 11, 2011 was a fateful date and something terrible would happen. His father asks him to protect his brother Samuel. He comes to believe that God does exist and that his brother is a kind of prophet whom he must protect for the church.

His father dies on November 11, 2011, on Samuel's birthday. A few minutes before 11:11 p.m., the demons enter the house and take Samuel with them. When one of the demons tries to stab Samuel, Joseph throws himself in between and is stabbed instead. Samuel, who can suddenly walk again, reveals to the dying Joseph that the demons were really angels and wanted to stop him, Satan. These whole events should become the basis of a new religion in which Joseph's fans form the basis.

At the end you can see many fans going to church, all with the book "The Book of Joseph" in hand. The priest is Samuel.

criticism

“Darren Bousman's religiously disguised horror tale has an outrageous plot and is remarkably unsurprising. That cannot be compensated by a technically solid staging and a suitable leading actor. "

- Filmstarts.de

“A rogue who thinks of Carnival now: On 11/11/2011 at 11:11 am, the writer Joseph Crone (Timothy Gibbs) is sure, something ominous will happen. According to an occult symbolism of numbers, the 11th Heavenly Gate is supposed to open. The horror thriller "11-11-11 - The Gate to Hell" (2011) by Darren Lynn Bousman ("Saw II to IV") approaches this spectacle in a devilishly boring way. "
