The Gate
*Minor Spoilers*
This sat on my shelf for months, just waiting for a day where I had absolutely nothing better to do. Today was that day, and I was actually really surprised. What other movie has miniature demons, Lovecraft references, zombie construction workers, dead dogs, and really bad 80's haircuts? This has it all! The acting obviously left a lot to be desired, but what can you expect from a cast of kids? The plot, though it took awhile to get to the good stuff, was very interesting and, though cheesy in many places, kept my interest until the very end. The effects were very cool, the "huge" demon at the end looked great! The film's main downfall was the ending. I suppose a movie like this needs an upbeat ending, but I think it would have been a lot better if it ended 5-10 minutes earlier. Oh well, this was still a surprisingly enjoyable film, I definitely recommend picking it up, it's usually in a bargain bin somewhere...
7.5/10
