My not-so-guilty pleasure,
By Dario Carpenter (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gate (DVD)
The Gate could almost pass as a family movie, if it weren't for the odd few scenes of gore that might be too much for a younger viewers eyes, which is quite ironic seeing that the movie examines childhood fears. I would classify this film as a guilty pleasure, if it weren't for the fact that I don't feel guilty watching this as at! Maybe because of the fact that I never really grew up, or that this movie brings out the scared little kid in us all that checks under the bed for monsters, in which this movie brings to light beautifully (the monsters and the childhood innocence). A clever story and fine acting by the entire young cast, including a young Stephen Dorff in the lead role as Glen, who went on to have quite a successful Hollywood career. If you're looking for a light-hearted Saturday afternoon Monster movie, this would be the perfect choice, just leave any suspicious holes in the backyard well enough alone, you've been warned!

Good movie, adequate DVD, and cheap price! Awesome!,
By just some guy (USofA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gate (DVD)
I might be the opposite of most people who were disappointed by the movie after not having seen it in years. "I loved it as a kid," they say. Well, I saw it at the theater when I was a teenager, being seduced by the special-effects in the TV ads (it really looked cool, and the thought of a hole that leads to hell was awesome!), but I remember leaving the theater thinking: "Eh, it was okay."But then all these years later I'm flipping through cable late one night and saw the movie playing on TNT or TBS or something like that. I watched it and actually LOVED it more this time around than at the theater. I think nostalgia was a big factor. The movie oozes with 80's atmosphere, especially the girls and the little "party" they have at the house. The look of the movie is very 80's, and since I ache for those old days, I loved this movie. It's a cheesy little horror story, nothing too scary, nothing too demanding. It's great fun if you just allow yourself. Perfect for a Saturday night when nothing else good is on. The DVD itself is bare bones. It looks good, a lot better than my VHS copy. It has no special features, no commentary...nothing at all. And worst of all, it's presented in full screen. Full screen? What were they thinking? It's a horror movie, and all horror movie buffs love the theatrical aspect ratio. C'mon, horror movies should always be in widescreen on DVD! But so what, it's still a lot of fun, and best of all the DVD is cheap. I bought it for like 6 bucks at BestBuy.
