The
Gates of Hell
(2008)
The
Gates of Hell is a
2008 horror movie
where, you're not
going to believe this,
a film crew go to a
remote property that
used to be an
orphanage to make a
cheapie horror movie.
Led by the director
Kyle (Michael
Piccirilli), his
assistant Leah
(Samantha Noble, sadly
only acted in an
episode of Fringe,
starring her father,
since) and cameraman
(Bradley Tomlinson)
and starring lovers
Dylan (Christian
Clark) and Maddy (Amy
Beckwith), the begin
filming after
illegally entering the
property and break
into the old house,
which apart from the
cobwebs, looks great.
Inside, they find an
audio tape where
someone dictates their
last words before
committing suicide
including saying that
he is ashamed of
giving up his child.
That night as they
camp outside, the
killings start and as
the cast and crew are
killed off one by one,
the horrifying truth
about the place
becomes very clear.
Hmm,
clocking in at 69
minutes plus a
ridiculously long 9
minute triple spaced
end credits (double
space would've cut 3
minutes at least), The
Gates of Hell feels
too long even at that
length. All bar one of
the cast is dead by 40
minutes and all in
less than 15 minutes,
then there's an
overwrought
explanation to why
this is happening that
still doesn't explain
much. There's also
another character who
turns up for no other
reason than to perform
a prank and be
slaughtered and that
seems out of step with
the rest of the movie
amazingly. Hard to
believe that a 69
minute horror movie
could be mostly
boring, but this one
does it so well. Also,
apparently Emma Lung
is listed to be in
this movie, but she's
not in it at all, not
even credited in the
24 hour credit
sequence with most of
humanity.
The
Gates of Hell has
never been released
here in Australia with
most Australian horror
movies usually dealt a
bad hand here (see
also Raven's Cabin
above). I got this DVD
from France (you'll
see some French
subtitles in the clip
below) and it isn't
the best quality. It
joins other never to
released in Australia
horror movies like
Voodoo Lagoon and the
never ever been
released anywhere
Enemies Closer,
Devil's Gateway and 10
Days To Live (starring
Clare Bowen), all
movies starring fairly
known actors too.
