That reference to cheesiness does not apply to this movie. IMDB misleadingly offers “comedy” as one of three classifications for “Beyond the Gates.” While the sudden absurdity of an exploding head after several scenes of slow-build suspense may inspire a horrified chuckle, be advised that “Beyond the Gates” is not in business to be funny, only frighteningly fun.I don’t think I’ve seen a microbudget movie use Spartan style for psychologically suggestive storytelling this well since Mike Flanagan’s “Absentia.”If it were a big studio production starring Chris Hemsworth, Pine, or Evans, “The Pool” would have been a ballyhooed box office smash.What the brothers find instead is “Beyond the Gates,” a curious VCR board game hidden behind their father’s locked office door. Into the player goes the accompanying VHS tape and both men are immediately entranced by Evelyn, the game’s mysterious “Mistress of the Dark” hostess. It seems like a laughable lark at first, yet when the decades-old videocassette mentions the Hardesty family’s vanished patriarch, Gordon and John realize “Beyond the Gates” is no mere nostalgia novelty (neither is the movie). They have stepped into a dark shadow of supernatural terror from which their only escape is completing the cursed game.Gordon is the buttoned-up brother, preoccupied by mortgage payments and concerns that excessive drinking could harm his relationship with girlfriend Margot. John is the bedhead-haired slacker side of the siblings, who dresses in shabby chic couture while palling around with ex-con buddy Hank. With dad M.I.A., Gordon and John must now find a way to reconcile longstanding differences while setting family affairs in order.Culture Crypt is the most reliable website for genre movie reviews and the best in popular culture, specializing in independent horror film entertainment.Bob’s two sons could barely contain their smiles when dad opened his store (Eddie Brandt’s Saturday Matinee in North Hollywood making a cameo) in 1992. Real life eventually did what it does however, and the brothers drifted in directions that left dad and the store, but mostly each other, decidedly in their pasts.Director Jackson Stewart’s debut feature neither disrespects throwback tastes nor loses itself in blind homage to its sleeve-worn influences. “Beyond the Gates” is not pastiche, parody, or self-aware sendup. Instead, it is a distinctly contemporary horror film featuring respectfully retro flavor, with flavor being the keyword. By embracing its straightforward intent to satisfy longtime genre fans on multiple levels, the simple style of “Beyond the Gates” makes for an entertainingly eerie nightmare chiller.Since resurging in genre movie appearances, productions eagerly seek to include Barbara Crampton in their casts regardless of how fitting the proposed role might be. Crampton appears only on a television screen in “Beyond the Gates,” yet the symbiotic relationship of her onscreen role as Evelyn to her fan-favorite horror icon status offscreen places her perfectly as a 1980s haunted horror hostess.A satisfyingly eerie climb to a wickedly creative conclusion combats frequent attacks from convention.If “The Wretched” is indicative of the stylish creepy-crawling The Pierce Brothers can deliver, expect to see even bigger and bolder productions in the duo’s future.Weary eyelids can be a byproduct of the film’s slow start. “Beyond the Gates” is uncomplicated, which leaves a downscaled production vulnerable to stagnant scenes that have nowhere but calm character conversations to siphon minimal energy from. Keep confidence in where the feel, fiction, and fun factor are heading and patience pays off with some spectacular practical FX punctuation marks and supernatural thrills. Fans of Lucio Fulci, direct-to-video midnight movies, or terror touchstones striking fond fright film memories, your wish for “just one more” movie in a similar vein has been granted. “Beyond the Gates” is made with precisely you in mind.If your age was in single digits as a budding horror fan at some point during the 1980s, it’s a sure bet that “Beyond the Gates” is a movie made for you by passionate genre fans just like you. With neon-colored sights and spookily synthesized sounds, the entire tone of “Beyond the Gates” is steeped in cinematic style from that heyday. More than that, the content of the film speaks to embodying and honoring an era when endless aisles of VHS tapes inspired an imagination so hungry for horror, it was often oblivious to cheesiness.No one has seen Robert Hardesty in seven months. It’s not unusual for eccentric widower Bob, a beleaguered video storeowner made obsolete by the digital revolution, to disappear for long lengths. Except this time, he is presumed dead.Chase Williamson has never been better as underachieving brother John. Uptight brother Gordon is designed to be dour, which doesn’t make for the most electrifying personality. Williamson swings that balance back toward engaging by being organically likable with the natural charm and subtly sympathetic struggle he puts into his performance.If it starred a couple of moonlighting WB flavors of the season, and maybe threw in a Creed single, the film would have its own Scream Factory Collector’s Edition by now.Two estranged brothers link their father’s mysterious disappearance to a cursed 1980s VCR board game.
Soon they learn that the game must be played until the very end; otherwise they will die.Two estranged brothers reunite at their missing father's video store to liquidate the property and sell off his assets. Gordon and John's father owned a video shop for many years but seven months ago he mysteriously disappeared. With dad M.I.A., Gordon and John must now find a way to reconcile longstanding differences while setting family affairs in order. After they tell her about the game, Margot suggests it would be fun to play it. Year 2016 Runtime 84 mins ... Several months after their estranged father’s disappearance and presumed death, brothers Gordon (Graham Skipper) and John (Chase Williamson) reunite in order to clear out his video store and sell his assets.
Evelyn's last words to the brothers are to stop thinking about the dead, and to think about the living. Later that night when the men turn back on the tape, they are instructed to take the next key from the head of the lawman, telling them they must choose between life and death. Digging in their backyard, the men find a small tin with a ragdoll inside. "A gutbucket load of gory fun, and a love letter to fans of a bygone era of horror, expertly resurrected by the filmmakers. John removes the key, surprised to find it covered in blood. Welcome, curious viewers…have you the courage to go Beyond The Gates? "Jackson Stewart has created a brilliant but deadly game for audiences to play with the great Barbara Crampton, a seductive new monster as iconic as Freddy Krueger. From here, Gordon and John learn that “Beyond The Gates” may be more than just a televised time-waster, and might even reveal the whereabouts of … – Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond)Welcome, curious viewers…have you the courage to go Beyond The Gates? The game Beyond the Gates pairs with a black-and-white VHS tape featuring a mysterious blonde woman named Evelyn (Barbara Crampton), who directly addresses the two brothers in …
Beyond the Gates proves it by giving us so much more than just an '80s throwback. Not to be missed." They throw the tape in and expect something silly. Heading to the basement in this version of the house, they are attacked by ghouls of Hank and Derek. Hank wounds John before Gordon kills both ghouls. Under The Bed 18.
