Cemetery Gates (2006)

Personally I enjoyed the movie. It's not anything special, but it was a nice throwback to the creature feature movies, something that's almost forgotten in the cinema today. (is it just me, or almost every new movie tries to be too smart and psychological and ends up being complete joke?) Lets see why this makes excellent B-creature flick? Silly plot? check! Over-sized wild animal? check! Cheap gore? check! Nudity?! check! High body count? check! (+10 if I am correct) ...So what do you need more from B movie that doesn't take itself too seriously? Nothing! It's fairly scripted, even if characters are not very deep, and some of the dialog was complete nonsense, but hey, who cares? This is one of those movies that you get to see with group of friends and laugh your ... on the floor if you don't take it too seriously.Mainstream audiences might find this movie "dull" but anyone who's fan of old CF horror will most likely enjoy it. There's no "twist ending" (is it just me, or most of the twist ending in recent ten years are just bad?) just straight plot about mutated Tasmanian Devil going on killing spree in the cemetery, chasing after bold scientist (our horror icon Reggie Bannister), horny teens, blond bimbos and rednecks.6 of 10, because it's "so bad it's good" and nice throwback to the '80.

I imagine it will take me longer to write this comment than it took the creators of Cemetery Gates to come up with the plot for their film, but this being a not-exactly-original, no-frills monster movie doesn't stop it from being a whole lot of fun. It may have been done a thousand times before, but so long as there's plenty of silly creature effects, a ton of blood and gore, and some nudity from a busty girl or two, I'll never get bored of the 'mutant creature on the loose' sub-genre—and Cemetery Gates delivers on all counts.The film's amazingly daft killer creature is a huge, genetically enhanced Tasmanian devil named Precious (yes, you read that correctly—a Tasmanian devil named Precious!!!) that has been released into the wild by a pair of very dumb animal activists. After immediately killing it's liberators, the vicious beast heads for a nearby cemetery, where a group of young film-makers are shooting the opening scenes for a horror movie. Meanwhile, scientist Belmont (Reggie Bannister) and his sexy assistant Dr. Christine Kollar (Aime Wolf) are tracking the monster, hoping to recapture it before it eats too many people. Fat chance!With practically every attack by Precious being accompanied by buckets of blood, and the bits in between deaths made extremely bearable by the presence of a couple of young hotties (including the very cute, giggly August, played by busty blonde Kristin Novak, who regularly removes her top), Cemetery Gates is great entertainment for those not wanting to work their brain cells too hard.Towards the end of the film, things do run out of steam a tad, with a little too much running around in tunnels for my liking, but with so much juicy splatter on display, a fun looking non-CGI beast, some fine breasts, plus a hilarious scene in which a hippie stoned on peyote sees Precious as a cute animated animal, I'm willing to be a little forgiving about the film's few imperfections.

When two ecologists break-in the laboratory of Dr. Belmont (Reggie Bannister), they find a box with a subject and they decide to set the experiment free in the woods. During the transportation, the box opens and releases the mutant Tasmanian Devil that devours the two activists and escapes to the woods. Meanwhile, Dr. Belmont's son Hunter (Peter Stickles) travels in a van with four friends to film a horror movie in the cemetery in the woods, while Belmont and his associate Dr. Christine Kollar (Aime Wolf) seek their deadly experiment called Precious.The underrated trash "Cemetery Gates" is a cheesy, funny and gore B-movie with a silly story, average acting and a stereotypical stupid blonde with hilarious lines and nice breasts performed by the sexy and hot Kristin Novak. I have had lot of fun watching Precious tearing apart her victims, the quantity of blood and the dialogs of August and her friends. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Portão do Cemitério" ("The Cemetery Gate")

Alrighty, welcome back to another installment of "Anthony Reviews During the Movie Instead of Actually Paying Attention." Tonight's subject: Cemetery Gates.I read on a message board for this movie that it's supposedly "Christian Propaganda" to show how horrible science makes the world.As an Atheist, I decided to hop right on.The movie itself is pretty awful with almost nothing behind it to keep a person watching. But I did. Because I have respect for film-making. However, the creature effects, acting, direction, and writing are all horrendous. And, those things are all rather important in the film-making process.So, this film gets a very bad: 3/10.-AP3-
