The Gatekeepers (2009)
*** (out of 4)
Screenwriter Michael Nankin and director Tibo Takacs are on hand for this fifteen-minute featurette that takes a look at the making of THE GATE, the 1987 cult horror film. Fans of the movie will certainly enjoy this featurette as the two men do a great job at giving some very fun behind-the-scenes stories. The highlight is probably the stuff dealing with the screenplay as Nankin talks about what inspired his ideas and how it changed over time. There are some very good stories told about getting the film into production and of course getting it up on the screen. It's interesting hearing Takacs talk about his thoughts on the screenplay and what he liked about it. There's nothing ground-breaking here but this is certainly very much worth watching.
