Gates of Gore's Independent Horror Reviews

When I first started Gates of Gore, I never thought that it would become this big.  I started doing reviews back in 2002. but it wasn't until 2003 that I created Gates of Gore. If you didn't know where I got the name, Gates of Gore came from a company that specialized in import horror movies from around the world. The company was located here in Mississippi and I really got to know the owner. I was disappointed when he told me that he was going to have to close shop. He was a very nice guy and I always loved the name of the company. Well, when I needed a name for my website, I always remembered the name, Gates of Gore and well, there ya go. In 2013, due to a loss in the family I really thought about giving up Gates of Gore. I didn't have the energy to keep it going and just didn't care anymore. However, it's now 2015 and Gates of Gore is going stronger then ever.  First off, I want to thank everyone that has stuck with me from the beginning and that keeps...

Starring: Dieter Laser, Laurence R. Harvey, Bree Olsen, Eric Roberts, Robert LaSardo, Tommy 'Tiny' Lister, Clayton Rohner, Tom Six Director: Tom Six The warden of a notorious, out-of-control prison decide to create a 500-person human centipede to keep these prisoners in line. I seriously hated the first Human Centipede film. I always give films the benefit of the doubt, but I just didn't like it at all. That's also why I have avoided watching the sequel, even though I own it. I might just have to go back at some point to watch it, but we'll see. After checking out the trailer for the 3rd and final Human Centipede film, I was actually excited about seeing this one. It's really because I'm a huge fan of Eric Roberts, even though he's not in this movie much at all and the idea of a 500-person human centipede seemed a bit outrageous and boy, was it ever.  I loved the movie-within-a-movie aspect, where the first 2 Human Centi...

If you've been waiting patiently for the 3rd and final film in the Human Centipede trilogy then it has officially been released today on VOD. I have Comcast and it is playing on there in the IFC Midnight category. As soon as I can, I will be doing a review of this one, so stay tuned....

I have a busy year ahead of me. Not only is The Trail of Satan still in the writing process, but I will be following that with my cannibal anthology Torn Apart, Eaten Alive. I am also going to be writing a slasher flick that I am sure everyone thought I'd write first, since I love slashers more then anything. The slasher one is untitled at the moment, but I will reveal the name at a later date. Stay tuned....

Henrique Couto's latest horror flick, Scarewaves, is slated to come out on VOD on October 13th and will be released on DVD October 27th...just in time for Halloween. Make sure to buy yourself a copy!

I am proud to say that Gates of Gore now has it's own email address for any inquiries you may have for review or interview purposes. If you need to contact me for business purposes only, then email me at gatesofgore101@gmail.com Thank you!

I have officially created a website for all Trail of Satan news, so if you are following the progress as I write the script and continuously promote everything associated with it, please visit the site below. The Trail of Satan

Starring: Diane Foster, David Backus, Matt Farnsworth, Edward Winrow, Ramon Villa, Devin Foster, Margot White, Mike Doyle Director: Matt Farnsworth  Audrey and her brother Marcus are sent to St. Michael's Orphanage after the brutal slayings of their parents. Audrey is quickly adopted, leaving Marcus behind to be constantly punished by the nuns and made to wear a mask, due to his violent behavior. Years later, Audrey now works at the same orphanage and Marcus is on the hunt for his baby sister in the ultimate and brutal showdown that is not to be missed. New slashers these days are a hit or miss with me. I am so used to the wonders that is the 80's, I'm always hoping to find that one slasher that is destined to be a cult classic. One that you will always remember years from now. Well, guess what? I found it!!!! The Orphan Killer is like that of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. He's the new ultimate killing machine that stops at nothi...

Starring: Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Olivia Luccardi, Lili Sepe, Jake Weary, Daniel Zovatto, Debbie Williams, Ruby Harris Director: David Robert Mitchell After a sexual encounter, a young woman is being followed by some supernatural force in human form, that is until she either passes it to another sexual partner or this thing kills her. First of all, let me say that after watching the trailer, I really wanted to check this one out. It looked quite unique in it's subject matter and something that I could get into. However, I was so wrong. It started off strong and creepy, wondering what was going to happen next, but after this girl had sex and she finds out that she's going to be followed by something strange, it was basically the same damn thing throughout the entire movie. I'm actually surprised that I made it to the end, I was so bored. I will say that the acting was good, especially for a movie with a bunch of unknowns, I just wish th...

I am currently creating a series of Trail of Satan shirts featuring the amazing artwork from Mary Goff and using some of the taglines that I came up with while in the process of writing the script. That way you can have more then one to choose from. It's going to be awesome! Stay tuned for ordering info.....

Starring: Elizabeth Cox, Renee Estevez, Dan Hicks, David Byrnes, Sam Raimi, Ted Raimi, Euegene Robert Glazer, Billy Marti, Burr Steers, Craig Stark Director: Scott Spiegel The employees of a grocery store are having to stay overnight to get ready for their going-out-of-business sale, but someone is not about to let that happen as each employee is being brutally slaughtered one by one. I first heard about this movie when I saw an episode of "The Incredibly Strange Film Show" featuring Sam Raimi. After the discussion about the "Evil Dead" movies, they went behind the scenes for a little known slasher called "Night Crew: The Final Checkout" (which officially became "Intruder" for distribution).  The movie was directed by Scott Spiegel, which I had seen in the films "The Dead Next Door" and "Skinned Alive". I knew that he could act, but had no idea that he could direct too, which happily surprised me. ...

Starring: Jim O'Rear, Daniel Emery Taylor, Dick Warlock, Bree Olson, Al Snow, T.J. Moreschi. Nicholas Huntsman, Scott  Tepperman, Ava Cronin, Megan Hunt Director: Jim O'Rear and Daniel Emery Taylor A group of overweight men participate in a new reality-based weight loss competition show to win a million dollars, but things go horribly wrong when someone is killing them off one by one. Ever since I had heard about this film, I have been wanting to see it. I am addicted to slashers, so I knew that this would be up my ally. I was hoping that the filmmakers would not go down the same road as a previous film that I had the displeasure of checking out called "The Hospital". At some point, I'll have to do a review of it and you'll understand why, if you've never seen it.  The gore effects was something else. You can tell how fake it all was. Even the machete that was used looked ridiculous. The blood and guts was funny as hell. At least...
