TV Guide Magazine -
This surprisingly effective low-budget effort from Canada plays on universal childhood fears, and manages to be scary without resorting to scenes of sadism or graphic bloodletting.

Chicago Tribune -
This is good-natured terror, the sort that can take time at the height of action for a quick joke. [18 May 1987, p.3C]

Slant Magazine -
If you can get in touch with your inner 12-year-old, The Gate is a pleasant diversion.

Time Out -
The lunacy on view is strangely dreamlike, and no bad thing. It's only a pity the film actually tries to make sense. More abandon all round, and the result could have been a Z-grade cult classic.

Los Angeles Times -
The Gate, whatever minor triumphs it dredges up, is too hopelessly copycat. It's basically powdered Speilberg on Zwieback toast and Stephen King on a stick. [19 May 1987, p.3]
