1987, a 9-10 year old Stephen Dorff and friend discover a gate to hell in the back yard...what would you do?
Plot: The menacing tree in the back yard is ripped from the ground, to leave a hole for the grounded Stephen Dorff to fill in while his folks take off for the weekend, leaving his big sis in charge. Rather than fill it in, he and a mate simply lay an old door over the hole and head off to play with rockets and bug his sis at her party. Little do they know, the hole is in fact a gateway to the bowels of hell and a bunch of mini clay-mation monsters. Armed with a knowledge of the occult, gleaned from a rock album, Dorff and buddy chant rituals at the mouth of hell, eventually settling for throwing the bible inside (bible bomb-superb). This is only a temporary measure however. Cue, big monster, rocket action and repeated mini-monster nibbling.
Budget: $?
Gross: $13,539,458 (you know what that means...sequel!- Gate II), sadly, I actually saw this one a while back- monsters in a cage, it can't end well.
Fun Fact: Alex Winter (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) has been linked with directing a 3D remake since 2009, with concept design by H.R.Giger (Alien) none the less.
