A team of archeologists venture into some deep caves to look for their friend who has disappeared while trying to break the world isolation record. Once inside they stumble across an old crypt with a strange Latin inscription on the wall. It tell's them that in 1291 seven monk's were executed for 'heresy' and that they will return exactly 700 years later and kill seven 'heretic's'. Unfortunately for the group it's exactly 700 years later!
Hells Gate is another Italian made for tv horror and is just as dull and boring as the others. The script is weak, the cast are dull (even the lovely Barbara Cupisti from Stagefight and Giacomo Rossi Stuart are poor) the music is cheap and the special effects are merely adequate (one of the murders is clearly modeled on the axe murder from Friday the 13th) but the worst thing of all is that Lenzi uses the exact same ending as the one in Nightmare City!!
Absolute Garbage.
DVD:
The only Englsih friendly dvd so far is the Dutch release from EC Entertainment (that has a picture of a semi naked woman being menaced on the cover). But its not a good one im afraid; It comes with a crappy video transfer in Italian with optional english sub's. The only extra is a Lenzi bio and filmography.
