I recall The Ninth Gate having a BANE rating off the charts. I guess I was 12 years old when I saw it, but I stand behind my assessment. For a long time I thought it was the worst movie I'd ever seen.
One reviewer says "Only the lobotomized and the brain dead will be able to figure out the logic embraced by The Ninth Gate."
Another says "The filmmaker takes you on a journey that goes absolutely nowhere."
At least four reviewers on one page used the word "ludicrous" and somebody else called it "self-immolating."

I don't remember feeling like it was very good, though.
Oh well. Self-immolating is a really great criticism, though. So suggestive!
