Gateway (2021)
8/10
A modern classic of horror
26 September 2023
I didn't watch this one for a while after adding it to my collection. It was just another small budget horror thrown in the watch later bin. So glad I finally got around to watching this film. The camera work is good. Shots are beautifully set up. The characters are well developed. It reminded a bit of how Stephen King would always give you enough about the victims to care when he had the monster get them. A lot of horror tends to make the victims "deserve it" and that's what I thought I was getting here but instead I got was characters that while horrible, were also incredibly sympathetic. The writer made me care and that matters in good horror. The ending was very well done and over all I really enjoyed this movie. Some other reviews mention it being boring or slow, I found it was a very nice level of suspense but attention spans run short these days.

Definitely a keeper.
