The Gate, Featuring a 12-Year-Old Stephen Dorff, Now On DVD!
By Dennis Dermody
The Gate, out on DVD this week, features future hottie Stephen Dorff , who was a little kid when he starred in this imaginative 1986 horror flick directed by Tibor Takacs and written by Michael Nankin. He, along with two friends, accidentally unearth a doorway to hell when a dead tree is uprooted in the backyard. Out pop creepy little demons (beautifully created by special effects designer Randall William Cook). Kelly Rowan (Seth Cohen's mom from TV’s OC) is one of the kids who battles zombies and creatures throughout the house. A kid-friendly, really cool, fright flick, this was a big hit when it opened in theaters and has delighted and freaked out children on VHS and bad DVD transfers ever since. But here it looks spectacular in this “Monstrous Special Edition” and gets the full respect it deserves.
