The Gate II (1992)
Directed by: Tibor Takács
Written by: Michael Nankin
Released by: Triumph Releasing Corporation (Theatrical)
"There's only one thing more terrifying than the first visit. The second."
The creative duo who brought you the 1987 horror classic 'The Gate' are back for more in this little-known sequel from 1992... 'The Gate 2: Trespassers'.
‘The Gate 2’ picks up right where the original film left off. Glen and his family pack up and move away after discovering that their suburban dwelling lays atop the gates of hell. With Glen out of the picture, this leaves his best friend Terry (Louis Tripp) alone with his alcoholic father and depressing home life. Having not learned his lesson the first time around, Terry decides to sneak over to Glen’s old abandoned house once again in an attempt of invoking the demonic minions into granting him wishes. It’s Terry’s hope that through his expertise in "Demonology" he can use the minions powers to help his father get back on his feet again. Of course the plan works initially, but anytime you're dealing with demons the end result is bound to turn out "shitty" (inside joke for anyone who has seen it).
Overall I liked ‘The Gate 2: Trespassers’ a lot. It's not quite as good as the first movie, but Michael Nankin does a good job at advancing the story without simply rehashing what was done previously. Like the original, part 2 also has a lot of great stop motion effects by Steven Archer, who was an assistant to Ray Harryhausen on the 1981 classic 'Clash of the Titans'. If you're a fan of ‘The Gate’ this is definitely a film you’ll want to track down as it’s a great companion piece to the first one.
