Review of The Gate

The Gate (1987)
3/10
A nightmare from hell gone terribly wrong ..............
29 October 2010
"The Gate" certainly plays like a nightmare from hell gone terribly wrong. Eventually you would hope to wake up, but "The Gate" just goes on and on piling nonsense on nonsense. The big question is, who is the intended audience? This is certainly too scary for children, teenagers will abhor the lack of sex and gore, and adults are not likely to enjoy a movie that has virtually no adults. In addition it takes forever to get going after the hole initially appears. Plus, the whole thing is extremely claustrophobic, taking place entirely in and around one house. Of course another question is, why didn't the kids just run out of the house, and away from all this nonsense? I give up, and so will you. Not recommended. - MERK
