The Gate
The 80s was legendary when it came to producing inventive, scary and quality horror flicks. A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, Hellraiser, The Fly, Child's Play, Predator. The list goes on and on. And then you have The Gate. Made in 1987, it's a low budget horror with a very young Stephen Dorff as the main lead. He plays Glen, who discovers a gateway to Hell in his backyard. This leads to a series of events where demons are unleashed upon his house and together with his sister Al and best friend Terry they battle against the forces of darkness. It's cheesy and bad in all the wrong ways, with terrible effects and visual design of the demons. The story is ludicrous with uninteresting characters, which probably has to do with the subpar acting. This movie has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever and is best left forgotten.
