My Review-

While this movie is not that bad it is still kind of cheesy, but in a good way. for being made in 1987 it had some pretty cool special effects, but aside from that the characters could be morons at times. I was really surprised that this was Stephen Dorff in the movie and I would like to know how old he was when he made this movie, and to see how far he has come now is pretty darn cool. One of the things that I thought did not go with the movie is that it called The Gate when I think it should have been called The Hole since it was literally a hole in the ground. Some scenes I was trying to figure out what the hell the actors were doing, since they were just standing around when shit was goin down when they could have helped ou or something. For being Dorff's first movie he wasn't that bad, but the actor that played his friend was annoying. I think I will have to watch this movie again another time too see if I missed anything, and to refresh my memory when I record for cinemaddicts. So to here what I thought about this movie I will let you know when the episode goes up. Unt then if you like cheesy horror films or when it turns into a comedy than check this movie out.
