"The Gate" is definitely the kind of movie that captured 1987. It's cheesy and ridiculous for the most part. The girls have awesome color-streaked hair and the pimple-faced guys dress like 'duckie' from "Pretty In Pink." Two kids dig a hole in the backyard and open up a gate to hell. These awesome little demons come out and wreak havoc on the house. Lots of freaky things happen in between the great scenes with the Lee Sisters, young Dorff and Tripp and a dog coming back to life. The little demons are pretty well done. The whole movie is a lot of fun to watch, but do so with a grain of salt. You won't be disappointed.
7 out of 10, kids.
