Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the teens are driving in the van, every time we see the girl in the front seat from the side, her window is open and blowing her hair around, but when we see them from the front, there is no wind and they are quite clearly not driving. The driver even does the old "constantly moving the wheel" bit.
- Quotes
Stoner Dude Doug: Don't smoke it Dennis, injecting it directly into your arms makes for a more killer high bro.
Stoner Dude Michael: You're probably right Kevin but I'm to stoned to call the needle-hotline right now, HAHA

Featured review
Not very good
"Cemetary Gates" is a movie that wants to be like 70's and 80's creature flicks like "Alligator" or "Prophecy". Well, it has a cool monster, and some nice gore effects, so where does it go wrong?
Well, for one thing, the comedy aspects of the movie really fall flat. Jokes such as the recording of a man's diarrhea, poorly done sex gags, and other such things hurt it considerably. Sure, horror and comedy can go together, but not when the jokes suck.
Also, the acting is pretty bad. Everyone seems unenthusiastic, especially Reggie ("Phantasm") Bannister as the scientist father. At least Howard Berger and Greg Nicotero are amusing as two stoner types.
Oh, and there are also the two annoying hillbilly characters that feel like a bad "MadTV" version of "Deliverence."
In the end, the movie is a major missed opportunity. If done with a better script and better characters, it could have been a winner. In the end though, that's all you get: Could have been.
