Plots(1)
After an old tree is removed from the ground, three young children accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from the hole in a suburban backyard. What follows is a classic battle between good and evil as the three kids struggle to overcome a nightmarish hell that is literally taking over the Earth. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
This movie confirmed my belief - Tibor Takacs is great in shooting dreamlike sequences, integrating classic special effects and creating strong horror atmosphere, but the weak screenplay, and especially the lack of logic in the behavior of the characters, is extremely obvious under his hands. I had that exact same feeling with I, Madman, and I got that feeling again with this movie. Anyway, if I had first seen The Gate as a kid, I would have definitely still great memories of it today.
