One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Strange little movie that's half pretty good mutant sci-fi horror and half stupid spoofy horror-comedy. Which is too bad, because it could have been pretty good if it had played it straight.Concerns Precious, a Tasmanian Devil that had been a pet and is then de-evolved by the lead character's scientist father. Precious is liberated by an animal rights group and then goes on a killing spree in a cemetery. Where, coincidentally, its now grown friend is shooting a horror movie. The humor is gross - all potty fun with one stoner character who is always going to the bathroom and three other unlikeable members of the crew making dumb sex jokes. But the science part is actually pretty interesting and could (and SHOULD) have stood alone without the crass attempts at humor.For genre fans, Reggie Bannister appears as the scientist and FX gurus Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger play two hippie victims. Overall, this is more frustrating for what it could have been than what it actually ends up being.

May contain Spoiler!"Cemetery Gates". Could have been a decent gore-fest kinda 80's slasher film, but even the gore in this film is totally surreal and stupid. The plot is not that bad, -a group of boys wants to make a documentary in a cemetery, but a "mutated Tasmanian devil" has been released and now is willing to kill everyone who crosses "her" path-, but the film is so poorly acted and directed that is laughable and at the end, after everyone is killed, the ending is so clichéd and lame that you just feel bored and sad on wasting your time in this piece of crap. Definitely don't waste your time in this, the effects are awful, the gore is awful, the acting is very, extremely bad.. Actually there's nothing good about this film.* out of ***** and if I could I would give a lower rating to this very bad film.

Firstly I guess most people expected a zombie film with a title like Cemetery Gates, its not this is a fun retro slice of b-movie cheese. About a Tasmanian Devil. Basically its a blood and boobs, gore ridden mutant creature feature with enough throwaway dialogue to please the MST3K style so bad its good fans.I mean sure this won't be in many top 10 Horror films of 2006/07 list/polls. But I bet out of the films that do take up those top 10 places, few are going to be as much fun as this one is.Reggie Bannister is a bona fide cult hero period, for that alone horror/cult genre fans need to dig this out at some point or other.Its been a pretty good 12 months for creature features. I gave this an above average 6/10.

Wow... This one threw me for a loop. With a title like "Cemetery Gates", you kinda start thinking "Zombies" or some other kind of "Undead" folks, but this one fooled me "Hook, Line and what a Stinker". I like to watch the "Making Of" segments first, because it kinda lets you in on what the producers were trying to accomplish. No zombies, no creepy kids, no mortuary, in fact nothing of the "Undead" persuasion at all... A mutant "Tasmaniun Devil" would try to scare us this time around. Well, maybe it would have scared me if IT weren't a guy in a Disneyland costume gone wrong. I mean... Come on! Did the producers honestly think this was going to scare someone? I understand it was supposed to be half comedy, but don't call it "Cemetery Gates" and then insult us with this crap. The scariest part of this film was the fact that the producers actually sought after director Roy Knyrim, so that they could add a real creepy feel to the film. "Sorry Roy" your film sucks! The saddest part is that they suckered Reggie "Phantasim" Bannister to partake in the idiocy. Say it ain't so Reggie... Say it ain't so. The film is a model case for "False Advertising", and I hope "Horror" fans aren't fooled the way that I was.
