Did You Know?
Goofs
When Glen breaks the geode open with the hammer, it is clearly shown cracking dead straight down the center. Yet, moments later he touches it and it falls in half, the half that falls over is much smaller than the half that remains upright. Had the geode really cracked down the middle, the two halves would have been equal in size. See more »Soundtracks

I wasn't expecting much from The Gate, especially as it had a 15 rating on the VHS big box that I have. However, it turned out to be quite a decent cheesy 80's horror flick. It is obviously geared towards a younger audience, but that's OK, because there's plenty of fun to be had. The plot revolves around a "gate" in a boys garden that contains demons. They are trying to escape into the real world. The demons are quite cool looking stop-motion creatures, and the effects are great.
Overall, I would say The Gate is definitely worth a watch if you like a bit of brainless fun.
6/10
