(Photo Courtesy of Aislinn Clarke) Aislinn Clarke made history by becoming the first Irish woman to direct and write a feature-length horror film, The Devil’s Doorway, currently streaming on Hulu. The film focuses on the real horrors of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, where, from 1765 to 1996, women were put away if they became pregnant out of wedlock, had mental issues, or were scorned by any male family member who said they should be put away. They were then placed into forced labor by the Catholic Church.
