Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

"Cemetery Gates" is a next low-budget monster attack/horror film, but with one exception - you won't find more awful. Plot is simple as hell, two "animal defenders" kidnap a mutated tasmanian devil, which escapes and kills everyone near an old miners cemetery. At the same time, a group of friends are making there a horror movie. You don't have to be a genius to guess who will be the victims of an animal. Appearance of a monster was supposed to be scary and frightening but it looks like a retarded bear, and is doing more laughing than goosebumps. Few words about acting. I don't know if their behaviors were serious, I haven't seen such a bad acting for a long time. Girl heard that his friends mother died by the animals attack and she reacted if she heard how to make a cherry pie. Other characters made very illogical decisions which lead them to death. Another annoying thing in this movie is primitive humor. There are few old erotic jokes that were funny in primary school. The last thing I'm going to describe is gore. It is also very bad made, blood and dismembered bodies look extremely artificial, and make you want to smile with a pity. So, avoid this crap at all costs, there are a lot better things to do than to watch it.

This movie was the beginning of my "let's watch bad movies with friends and laugh until we burst in tears" episodes. We were kind of shocked by it, shocked by living the worst but also funniest experience of our personal movie history. I thought that this movie was a kind of joke prepared all together with the movie crew. Maybe half of the crew made a joke to the other 42 people working there(which is the number of people that gave 10 points to this movie) and made them believe that they were actually filming. when i found myself thinking about all these possibilities, one brilliant idea shined amongst them: i will go and buy a hand camera and a torch to my 3 year cousin and tell her to make a movie..even that would be better than this one

The B horror movie lives! No, this isn't John Carpenter or Steven Spielberg
or even Tod Browning
but it isn't half bad. 'Cemetery Gates' is a slightly original variation on the traditional B horror theme. One variation is that the main group of protagonists are filming their own horror film when true horror strikes THEM.Anyone who likes blood and gore will love this one. The plot isn't great shakes, but it holds up as well as any B horror plot. We have brain-dead college kids, including a girl with a bra size bigger than her IQ. One improvement in this film is that at least here the big-chested bimbo isn't pawned off on us as a 'graduate student' or someone who would have to have considerably more brains than she has. These are just friends of a college student wanting to make a zombie movie as his class project. One can imagine that three of the six students would probably have flunked out in another year, had they all lived. Of course one does wonder why he would entrust his film to dope-smoking bums and a bimbo.The student making the film (Peter Stickles) is the son of an unprincipled scientist (Reggie Bannister) who has mutated a Tasmanian devil, turning it into something akin to the man-eating cartoon creature in Bugs Bunny cartoons. The beast, 'Precious,' is pretty cool and can really put the hurt on its victims, all of whom die much slower than they would like.The film is not without some interesting background. The old cemetery where the kids are filming their zombie film contains a memorial marker for 200+ miners killed when nearby tunnels were flooded in 1925. Apparently the bodies were never recovered and our teens fall through sinkholes into the labyrinth of tunnels that includes skulls and mummified bodies. Naturally Precious makes this her home after being released in a nearby state park.Without giving the plot away, you could say 'Many are called; most are eaten.' For B horror fare, this is a pretty satisfying production, with good special effects, plenty of blood shooting, dripping, spurting, flowing, etc. The acting from the no-name cast is solid and the handful of attempts to move the plot away from a stale B horror formula appreciated. This isn't the one to do a major term paper on in a film theory class, but is perfect for relaxing with on a late Friday or Saturday night!

i had my share of bad movies,well that what i thought but when i think they have done enough one more comes out.The movie is so awful that i believe it is a disgrace to the art of cinema. The women are cute but overall the movie is just awful i don't have words to describe.PLEASE PLEASE do not waste your time on this.But yes you can recommend it to friends if u want them to suffer.The thing created to scare you is so funny and beside 1 or 2 murders you will not be scared of the murders ,but yes you will laugh till u drop dead.The story line is also very bogus and nothing new is there not even something old in a new bottle,i cant believe people had spent money to see it in cinema. HATE THE MOVIE AND SO WILL YOU JUST Don't WASTE YOUR TIME
