The Magic Door is a 2007 British fantasy film directed by Paul Matthews, starring Jenny Agutter, Mick Walter, Patsy Kensit and Anthony Head.
The film was dubbed into German and issued under the title Das Imperium der Elfen ("The Empire of the Elves").[1]
Sally and Liam, a brother and sister, played by siblings Alix and Liam Matthews, run away from home to escape from their new stepmother, Rachel (Patsy Kensit), and make friends with Raglin, a troll (Mick Walter). They help him to find a magic door which will take him home to Fairyland. Once there, they need to defeat Raglin's bitter enemy the Black Witch (Jenny Agutter).[2]
A Common Sense Media review is headed "Mild scares in confusing U.K. fantasy movie" and complains that
When the film was released on DVD in October 2012, The Dove Foundation was unable to recommend it, as one character "damns" another, and it also noted "Sex: Husband kisses wife on forehead."[3]
