The late, great film critic Roger Ebert once wrote "I hated, hated, hated this movie." And that's how I feel about the new horror flick Agramon's Gate.
It's a study in bad: bad acting, bad line delivery (yup, going there), and bad special effects. There are no scares -- nor suspense even -- and director Harley Wallen hired the worst tough-cop actor in the history of tough-cop actors. It's like someone blew a bunch of cocaine in his face before they yelled "action."
I'm not gonna belabour this, but I couldn't find one single thing to like about Agramon's Gate. I've seen similar movies -- group of friends invite something evil into our world using a Ouija board -- countless times, and done better. Way better. And shorter. At an hour and 49 minutes, Agramon's Gate is way too long for the type of movie it is.
Shawn got so mad at this one he threw his remote at the TV once it was over. I started skipping ahead minutes at a time. I just wanted it to end.
Suffice to say, it's a couple of Uglies from The Basement Boys on this one.
