Interesting, if only sporadically effective, low-budget chiller set in a barren West Texas town near the Mexican border. People are disappearing in the desert and a sheriff's deputy (Dave Cass, the film's co-writer) is sent to investigate...but do the culprits really belong to a satanic cult, or to an altogether different kind of organization? "Enter the Devil" doesn't always make sense, and at times it looks more like a TV crime drama (or industrial training film) than a drive-in horror flick, but it packs the occasional punch. The scenes of human sacrifice, in particular, have a raw, nerve-jangling quality, and a sense of eerie foreboding hangs over the desert shooting location even during the film's quieter moments. Able character actor Josh Bryant heads up the cast, Irene Kelly provides the eye candy, and John Martin and Carle Bensen make a suitably crusty pair as the sheriff and the town doctor, respectively.

Flawed, but worth a look.
