Gates of Flesh

As "Gates of Flesh" begins, we see a group of four young people running into a building, desperately trying to escape some form of plague or something that is raging outside. A quick flashback gives us some backstory, and then the rest of the movie, we see the group trying to figure out a way to escape and also deal with the possibility that one of them has fallen victim to whatever is out there...

As mentioned in my title, "Gates of Flesh" is actually a pretty effective knock-off of "The Evil Dead." It's nicely claustrophobic and creepy, and even when you are settling into it, the movie throws you some curve-balls that you likely won't see coming. For a low budget film, lighting and sound is pretty good, the cast of unknowns does a pretty nice job with the material, and the makeup is pretty outstanding for the budget.

Solid recommendation for this little horror flick.
