Mike is a low-level drug dealer in debt to a ruthless supplier. When he and his gang set up shop in an abandoned house, he thinks his problems are solved. But a mysterious locked door inside the house and growing discord within the gang brings old feuds boiling to the surface. As friendships unravel, the house begins to enact its own plan, using the gang's own deepest dark thoughts against them. Like lambs to the slaughter, the men are lured one by one into the room and there they are confronted by the evil world that lies within themselves. The once-locked door is now open, and what lies beyond has its own desires.

Gateway feels more like a proof of concept than an actual feature film.

‘Gateway’ is chilling and hypnotizing, perfect for those who love a bleak Irish slow burn with a gut-punch ending.

Rated: 4/5

Gateway is the dictionary definition of the sort of genre film that catches you unaware, sending you in one direction before quietly nudging you into somewhere deeper and darker.

Rated: 3/5

Part haunted house, part eldritch horror, Gateway is a crime drama about mistrust, lies, and eventual comeuppance. It’s Irish horror so the horror is eventually laid bare like the carefully flayed skin of a corpse, nearly bloodless but no less unsettling.

Rated: 3.5/5

If you have 80 minutes to spare, you could do a lot worse than ‘Gateway’. It’s a very simple, non-pretentious horror story if you are after something straightforward. It has a few creepy moments and what it does best is to set up sufficient character development in such a short run time.

Stylistic psychological slow burn horror with impressive photography, sound design and performances. Think Kill List, Session 9 and A24 horror films. Great atmosphere.
