Saw this had Barbara Crampton and the plot was about a VHS based board game so thought ok will watch this.
I had a bunch of stuff planned out to watch today. But I have been sick for almost a week. And really don't feel like watching much. Figured one movie would be ok.
After their father dies two brothers have to figure out what to do with their dad's old video store. In the store they find an old VHS board game.
Not long after that they start to play this VHS game and the hostess,Barbara Crampton,appears to be talking directly to them.
Fairly soon after this they get sucked into another dimension and it is hard to tell what is reality and what isn't.
The above all sounds like a neat idea for a horror film. I have gotten into VHS board games over the past 2 years. But to much of the films short run time is spent with people talking and a bit of character building.
And outside of the last 10 minutes or so nothing about this film,after you get past the kinda gimmicky VHS board game premise,stands out at all.
Beyond the Gates gets a C-.
