Recently re-released on DVD, "The Gate" is some good 80's cheese I wanted to re-live. Another classic of my childhood, "The Gate" defies logic and goes straight for fun instead. A young boy and his friend unleash hell upon earth through a hole in their backyard. The parents leave the kids at home for the weekend and the teenage daughter throws a party. From there, demonic things start to happen, well in a 6th grade kind of demonic way.Anytime you get claymation mini demons and an 80's metal soundtrack, you will get my approval. Along with the cool 80's suburban setting, this is a fun film to check out if you haven't already. Lost somewhere between a kid's movie and a horror movie, "The Gate" is what you might consider as a part of the nostalgia genre. It might be hard for children not of the 80s/early 90s to fully appreciate this film, but whatever fuck them anyways. If you like fun horror and semi-innocent entertainment, check it out. This is also Stephen Dorff's film debut, you may not recognize him as a little kid, but you may be very well acquainted with his adult career ("Blade", "Cecil B. Demented", and "Public Enemies").
