Straight to DVD this one went, easy to watch, some good moments, some bad moments, in fact I don't really know what to think of it. The start, as with many movies, isn't really that bad at all but being a low budget you will have to do a lot of blah blah due money restrictions. Talking about the effects, well, there are no effects. Car crashes off screen. People being shot in the head, off screen. showing dead bodies, no blood and I can go on and on. In other reviews people are really tearing down the main actress, Laura Mennell. I admit, she isn't that good but here she plays in one of her first major rol. In 2010 she will be seen in the already acclaimed Hard Ride To Hell, a gory piece of exploitation. If they had money they could have made a great movie but it fails a bit, no scary parts, it's sad, but also in the editing there are some faults left in, for example, the shadow of the zooming camera on a wall, you can count on it that they mostly made one takers. Anyhow. One to watch before you get to business with the real stuff.

The film starts well enough. It is a truly terrifying scene as a couple of fugitives on the run from the law tear apart an innocent family living in a secluded country cottage by killing the mother and father. The young daughter only manages to escape with the aid of a mysterious spectre, who kills the two aggressors while she covers in a downstairs cupboard. Then, we catch up with her 15 years later as a drug-addled student researching the supernatural, living with her promiscuous aunt and being looked after by a mysterious redhead. She has no real friends, was almost raped at a party and keeps having bizarre visions which no-one else can see. So yep, life is grand. Things get a lot more pleasant when she has a falling out with her mum's sister, who is later found dead in a bathtub under suspicious circumstances with 11 etched into her forehead. Hmm, I wonder who the police's main suspect will be? This is quickly followed by more deaths, all linked by their relation to our heroine having been on bad terms with them before their passing. Could she be the culprit, or perhaps the explanation could be something of a more ethereal nature? Clue: If you think the former, you've picked up the wrong movie from Blockbuster. Go back and get the correct one, short-sighted gimp.As I said, I was all ready to fast-forward to the good parts, safe in the knowledge that I wasn't missing out on anything but a mediocre suspense potboiler. But the first ten minutes grabbed me, and I decided to give it a chance. I was quite pleasantly surprised: it certainly wasn't a masterpiece but the acting was good enough and the script kept throwing up intriguing situations of which I looked forward to finding the solution to. Alas, 45 minutes in, I realised my attention start to wander during a long sequence where the main character is walking round a library, doing nothing. We then get a cheap scare, followed by quarter of an hour of goddledegook about the paranormal between her and her new hunk of a boyfriend. Things only got worse from there, as the promising beginning is thrown out the window as we get one unconvincing plot twist after another, followed by an ending so anti-climatic it's like being promised the moon and ending up with a teeny weeny meteorite instead. Pathetic.If it was bad all the way through, it would have been far easier to swallow. The fact that it starts at a canter and barely ends with a whimper is not just disappointing, it is heartbreaking. How can something which began so promisingly end up being so formulaic? I don't know, and I don't particularly care. I'll just give the writer and director a bit of advice for next time: Don't spend 5 weeks writing the first part of your screenplay, then 5 minutes finishing the rest. You tend to notice these things in the final product when you treat your project as sloppily as you have here... 3/10

i thought this was a really good movie.it's a sort of ghost story/end of the world prophecy combination.it has some similarities to both "The Ring" and "The Grudge".i didn't really care for those 2 movies.i just didn't feel they worked for me.this 1 however,worked really well for me.there are many very suspenseful and eerie moments.the hair on my neck stood up a lot in this movie.i thought the acting was pretty good. i also liked that fact that they kept you guessing about things until the end.i did,anyway,and i wasn't sure how it would end.i like unpredictability in these kinds of movies.the ending is sort of open ended,so you can come to your own conclusions.i think this is 1 of the better movies of this genre,that i have seen.i'm sure there are lot's of plot holes and inconsistencies,if you really look for them.but i just wanted to be entertained and hopefully creeped out for a couple hours,and i was.besides,i/m sure every movie has flaws of some kind.it just depends what your reasons for watching are.if you did enjoy "The Grudge" and "The Ring",you may enjoy this movie as much or maybe more.for me,"11:11:Hell's Gate is a 9/10

Two Thumbs Up

i hired this movie out from my local movie shop, not really expecting anything to flash or fancy. Since it was a "B" grade movie, made on a very tight budget. The opening scenes of the film were rather original and so was the plot and thats what made me hire the movie out. However the film becomes very boring and frustrating at points. The story had plenty of holes in it and the acting had its fair share of disappointments as well By the end of the film i was praying that a higher power was going to strike me down where i laid as i was extremely bored but more importantly frustrated with how the story turned out. i still don't understand what actually happened and i don't particularly care. in conclusion the devil would cry in disgust to know that Hell (his domain ) was used as a basis for such a crappy film.
