The Gate
Instrueret af Tibor TakácsDet er weekend og Glen, Terry og Al ved ikke hvad de skal lave. Forældrene er bortrejst og de er overladt helt til sig selv i det store hus. I baghaven stod et stort træ, der nu er fældet. De beslutter sig for at undersøge det enorme hul der nu er, hvor træet tidligere stod. Men det var dumt. Djævelsk dumt. Siden ældgammel tid har træet skjult en indgang til ondskabens verden. Nu er døren åben og jorden kan forvandles til et endnu større helvede end den allerede er. De må finde en måde at lukke døren på inden ondskaben slipper løs... hvis det ikke allerede er for sent!
The Gate-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- torrovega3. marts 2026Fun little movie to scare the kids
- theicephoenix30. december 2025Let me tell you something right now. The Gate is not a good movie. Not by today’s standards. Not by yesterday’s standards. Probably not even by 1987 standards. And yet, doggone it, I sat there the whole time thinking, “Well I’ll be dipped in barbecue sauce, I’m having fun.” This movie is what happens when someone says, “What if kids, demons, stop-motion monsters, and a heavy metal album all got locked in a basement together?” And instead of stopping that idea, Hollywood said, “Here’s a budget. Please don’t hurt anyone.” The acting? Lord help us. These kids scream like they just discovered chores. Every line delivery feels like it was written five minutes before lunch and read once out loud before filming. But here’s the thing, they commit. They really do. Nobody phones it in. They believe in these tiny demons like they’re filing taxes with them. Now the effects. Oh buddy. The effects look like someone melted a bunch of plastic army men and said, “That’s hell. Roll camera.” Stop-motion demons climbing out of cracks in the ground like they missed curfew. Are they scary? No. Are they charming in a “my uncle made this in his garage” kind of way? Absolutely. And Stephen Dorff. Baby Stephen Dorff. Looks like he wandered onto the wrong set on his way to a skateboard commercial. But he’s trying. He’s acting his little heart out while the house is collapsing around him like a haunted IKEA project. The story makes just enough sense to keep going. You open a hole to hell by accident. Happens all the time. Don’t act surprised. It’s basically a cautionary tale about why you don’t mess with mysterious construction sites, ancient books, or older siblings who listen to metal. Is it scary? Not really. Is it dumb? Oh yes. Is it fun? You bet your soul it is. This movie knows exactly what it is, even if it doesn’t always know what it’s doing. And that’s the charm. So no, this isn’t high art. This isn’t prestige horror. This is the cinematic equivalent of staying up too late on a school night, eating junk food, and watching something you know your parents would hate. And honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. Three out of five stars. Bad movie. Good time. Now excuse me while I check my backyard for cracks to hell.
- Spoons11. oktober 2025The ultimate starter horror. Creepy enough to feel forbidden, tame enough you’ll still sleep fine. Rubber monsters, zombie dads, and stop-motion chaos. Pure 80s magic.
