A classic pg-13 horror film of the 80s is making its way down the comeback trail and will be getting a re-release dvd just in time for Halloween.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment will open the gates of hell on October 6th and unleash a “Monstrous Special Edition” of the 1987 cult classic THE GATE on DVD. The long awaited special edition disc will include a commentary track with director Tibor Takacs, interviews with the cast and crew, a stills gallery, and the original trailer.
I just LOVED this movie. It was 15 when I saw this and nearly forgot all about this. (Look for it on this week’s Forgotten Friday review)
I have a vivid recollection of the scene where the zombie demon guy falls on the floor and it and shatters into a pile of little demon things, which kept coming after them. That creeped the hell right out of me.
This is one I will look forward to seeing a re-release of. Check out the trailer.
Rodney relax. It’s not a Hollywood remake!
Rodney, when are you writing about house (w/ william katt) in your forgotten fridays? Movie was amazing!
If I see it.
And If I like it enough.
You seriously haven’t seen that? It’s one of the funnest 80’s movies ever. George Wendt and Bull from Night Court are in it too. It’s so good!
Was that the kid from Flight of the Navigator???
wow, this was one of those movies I loved to hate. I didn’t like it, but yet, every time that it was on cable I would watch it.
Why no Blu-Ray? Oh right this movie probably wouldn’t benefit much from the Blu-Ray treatment.
I have been waiting on blockbuster online for like 2 years+ to get the Gate on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Throwing the Good Book in the pit-!
“That should do it!”
HA!
take that demon scum!
haha remember when they get the firework at the end and blast it at the demon hahaha.
The Gate was the first horror film I ever rented. I think I’ll have to revisit it this Halloween. Sounds good.
This was a classic horror film. The demons creeped me out. The part with the adults in the dark scared me the most as a kid. The ending was the weakest part I think. The sequel was worth at least a one time sit through.
YES!! Finally been waiting for this for years!
Woot. Thanks Rodney for the news.
Hopefully hollywood doesnt remake it
lol.

Lol
Wow that was weird
Oh for crying out loud can’t one studio take up my suggestion of instead of remaking a movie they just release it into the theaters?
Justin, we were already over this.
They wont because its not financially feasable.
Hollywood is all about the money and a re-release wouldnt have the same draw (last time it happened on a big scale was Star Wars, and the time before that it was ET)
The movie has to be MASSIVE for them to even consider a re-release in theaters. There just is no market for this when they make more money putting it out on DVD.
anyone notice who the director of the remake is?
its Bill S Preston Esquire
