Review of The Gate (1987) by Brandon M — 10 Jun 2008
Pretty entertaining 80s horror romp that probably would've been hella scary if I had watched it when I was 5 as opposed to 26. Several creepy scenes, especially for a PG-13 flick, as well as cool special effects make this one a good watch.
*****Spoiler Ahead*****.
When I was watching this, I was thinking the movie would've been a whole lot more disturbing if they just ended it at the part where the boy Glen was watching hell on earth be unleashed from the comfort of his bedroom window instead of the whole model rocket vs. gigantic creature from the bowels of hell and "You're my best friends" ending that followed. Either that or a good "It was all a dream...or was it?" Invaders From Mars style twist to keep the kiddies up at night.
