Strong and Moving!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

When two ecologists break-in the laboratory of Dr. Belmont (Reggie Bannister), they find a box with a subject and they decide to set the experiment free in the woods. During the transportation, the box opens and releases the mutant Tasmanian Devil that devours the two activists and escapes to the woods. Meanwhile, Dr. Belmont's son Hunter (Peter Stickles) travels in a van with four friends to film a horror movie in the cemetery in the woods, while Belmont and his associate Dr. Christine Kollar (Aime Wolf) seek their deadly experiment called Precious.The underrated trash "Cemetery Gates" is a cheesy, funny and gore B-movie with a silly story, average acting and a stereotypical stupid blonde with hilarious lines and nice breasts performed by the sexy and hot Kristin Novak. I have had lot of fun watching Precious tearing apart her victims, the quantity of blood and the dialogs of August and her friends. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Portão do Cemitério" ("The Cemetery Gate")

Strange little movie that's half pretty good mutant sci-fi horror and half stupid spoofy horror-comedy. Which is too bad, because it could have been pretty good if it had played it straight.Concerns Precious, a Tasmanian Devil that had been a pet and is then de-evolved by the lead character's scientist father. Precious is liberated by an animal rights group and then goes on a killing spree in a cemetery. Where, coincidentally, its now grown friend is shooting a horror movie. The humor is gross - all potty fun with one stoner character who is always going to the bathroom and three other unlikeable members of the crew making dumb sex jokes. But the science part is actually pretty interesting and could (and SHOULD) have stood alone without the crass attempts at humor.For genre fans, Reggie Bannister appears as the scientist and FX gurus Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger play two hippie victims. Overall, this is more frustrating for what it could have been than what it actually ends up being.

Hands down the most entertaining low budget horror film I've seen in years. Great old school gore, old school jokes, etc... 2 stars off for VERY gratuitous nudity and sex jokes. Clearly made by talented people with a love for the genre. Acting is all around workmanlike, but good. Script is tight and funny, excepting the opening setup. Bannister is his usual class act. Some of the gore scenes are truly amazing. Hippy guy getting his head crushed through a fence stands out. Cinematography is WAY above the normal level for this kind of film. Again, my only real complaint is the unneeded nudity and sex jokes...they felt tacked on to titillate 13 year olds.

Wow... This one threw me for a loop. With a title like "Cemetery Gates", you kinda start thinking "Zombies" or some other kind of "Undead" folks, but this one fooled me "Hook, Line and what a Stinker". I like to watch the "Making Of" segments first, because it kinda lets you in on what the producers were trying to accomplish. No zombies, no creepy kids, no mortuary, in fact nothing of the "Undead" persuasion at all... A mutant "Tasmaniun Devil" would try to scare us this time around. Well, maybe it would have scared me if IT weren't a guy in a Disneyland costume gone wrong. I mean... Come on! Did the producers honestly think this was going to scare someone? I understand it was supposed to be half comedy, but don't call it "Cemetery Gates" and then insult us with this crap. The scariest part of this film was the fact that the producers actually sought after director Roy Knyrim, so that they could add a real creepy feel to the film. "Sorry Roy" your film sucks! The saddest part is that they suckered Reggie "Phantasim" Bannister to partake in the idiocy. Say it ain't so Reggie... Say it ain't so. The film is a model case for "False Advertising", and I hope "Horror" fans aren't fooled the way that I was.
