Solid 1980s Throwback
29 September 2017
Two estranged brothers reunite at their missing father's video store and find a VCR board game dubbed 'Beyond The Gates' that holds a connection to their father's disappearance.

The deciding factor on whether you love or hate this film is whether you love or hate 1980s throwbacks. This film nails it, from the font in the opening credits to the music and beyond. Including Barbara Crampton prominently and name-dropping Charlie Band only adds to the effect.

If you think the 1980s throwback trend has run its course, you may not be as amused. But, you would also be wrong, because this trend can continue indefinitely so far as I'm concerned. There was no better decade for movies, and to see it come back has been a treat.
