Beyond the Gates (2016)

One of the most appealing aspects of Beyond the Gates is its nostalgic horror atmosphere. Using a VHS game as the center of the story brings a sense of novelty, creating curiosity for viewers. Those who love classic horror will appreciate the way the film builds tension through mystery and supernatural elements instead of relying solely on jumpscares.

Although the idea is interesting, the film’s pace is quite slow, leaving many viewers feeling that it lacks climax. The horror part is not really scary or bloody like modern horror movies, but focuses more on psychology and creepy atmosphere. This may disappoint some people if they expect a fast-paced movie with more scary scenes.

The acting in the movie is okay, but not really impressive. Some of the dialogue is a bit awkward, and the special effects are not too outstanding. However, the movie still retains its appeal thanks to the storytelling and the suspense as the characters explore the mysteries of the game.

If you are a fan of classic horror movies, enjoy supernatural mysteries with a creepy atmosphere, then Beyond the Gates can be an interesting experience. However, if you are looking for a bloody, fast-paced horror movie with many haunting scenes, then this may not be the perfect choice.
