Gate II
It's been five years since Terry's friend Glen discovered The Gate to hell in his backyard. Glen has now moved away and Terry begins practicing rituals in Glen's old house and eventually bringing back demons through The Gate and leading to demoniac possession and near world domination.
Why it matters
A late-cap ’80s cult horror sequel that amplifies its predecessor’s backyard demon mayhem with bigger scares and practical effects that still pack a punch.
- Builds on The Gate’s DIY demon-summoning lore with more ambitious set pieces and nastier creature designs by practical effects veterans
- Captures that era’s unique blend of suburban dread and supernatural chaos before the ’90s shifted horror’s tone
- Perfect for fans of low-budget demon flicks who appreciate puppetry and stop-motion over CG
- Its uneven pacing and ’90s camp may frustrate some, but the relentless demon possession vibe delivers a devilish ride for cult aficionados
