I have to admit I pretty much bought this since I saw the Regman (Reggie Bannister for all you nuhorror fans) was starring in this one.The movie was pretty much what I expected - a low budget ripoff of fifty other, better movies. Still it's not as bad as some have posted here, and much better than most indie horror.The Regman as usual makes this movie watchable, as he makes most everything he is in watchable.Sit back, pop open a cold one, and light one up. This is how a movie like this is supposed to be seen, as a escape from the bs of the world.My score 6/10. Not bad, not great but a fun escape.

This movie was the beginning of my "let's watch bad movies with friends and laugh until we burst in tears" episodes. We were kind of shocked by it, shocked by living the worst but also funniest experience of our personal movie history. I thought that this movie was a kind of joke prepared all together with the movie crew. Maybe half of the crew made a joke to the other 42 people working there(which is the number of people that gave 10 points to this movie) and made them believe that they were actually filming. when i found myself thinking about all these possibilities, one brilliant idea shined amongst them: i will go and buy a hand camera and a torch to my 3 year cousin and tell her to make a movie..even that would be better than this one

~Spoiler~ Cemetery Gates is the film that asks us the question: Who would win in a fight between the Reg Man and a Tasmanian Devil? That's right, the film's monster is a Tasmanian Devil...named Precious. Someone watched Creepshow one too many times. The even introduce the beast in a crate (and in an unrelated incident a character is crushed by a tombstone). But I digress. Cemetery Gates is another goofy mess of a horror film. Phantasm's own Reggie Bannister plays a scientist who has created a genetically enhanced Tasmanian Devil for purposes I can't even remember. Anyway, it's not important. Some crazy environmentalists (who didn't watch 28 Days Later) liberate the thing only to be rewarded with bodily dismemberment. Precious winds up stalking the woods where a group of tweens are shooting a low budget horror movie entitled "Cemetery Gates." Hence the title. I said the film was goofy and, thankfully, it knows this and does not take itself seriously. The director revels in its silliness. Lots of blood and guts are thrown around and the characters act like they are in a low budget horror movie. It's a very tongue in cheek comedy. And the KNB boys seem to be having fun in a cameo role. However, I don't think it works. I was not impressed with any of the jokes or with the monster's appearance. Between Cemetery Gates and Boo, "the producer of Dog Soldiers" is going to have a tough time getting me to watch another film.

Absolute words to describe the movie is COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, you cannot be serious making this awfully dumb movie with such cheesy characters in it. Cemetery Gates cannot be considered as a horror movie at all in fact I rather watch Chinese movie with the people flying here & there then watch anything like this ever again, the acting is terrible, story line is as dumb as it can be with stupid creature jumping on everyone going pass & once it killed someone it gets excited & act like it was some kind of a monkey perhaps the beast creature itself not even scary look just like a burnt face bear with incredibly stupid acting. Over all I'd say this movie is just as lame as it gets, I wouldn't recommend you to watch it even if you had nothing better to do :)
