3/10
A mediocre sequel to The Gate.
28 August 2005
The Gate II: Trespassers (1992) was a tired sequel to the sleeper video hit The Gate. That movie made enough money to warrant a sequel. But the distributors left this film sitting on the shelf for a few years. When it was finally released, nobody cared. The film as disappeared into obscurity ever since. The same director and as co-star from the first film return for the sequel.

Louis Tripp reprises his role from part one. His life has continued to go south. His father has become a total drunk and he has no friends. He has moved on since the last movie. The death of his mother has greatly contributed to the decline in his father's health and job status. One day he reminisces to the dark power that he saw that came from The Gate. Will this depressed and desperate teen temper with the "black arts" one more time?

I can see why this film sat on the shelf. They should have released it when they had the chance. But now it's too late. Many fans of the first film have moved on. Should have struck whilst the iron was still hot.

Not recommended.
