The independent film THE LAST GATEWAY is undeniably one of the best horror movies I've seen in 2007. Sure, there are nods to EVIL DEAD, FROM BEYOND and all those H.P. Lovecraft references, but it takes real talent to make a movie genuinely scary and director Demian Rugna does just that.
The premise is that there is one gateway to Hell left on Earth and both the good and the bad sides want to possess it. But it turns out that this gateway has appeared in the last place anyone would look. it's inside the stomach of an unfortunate man, who must flee his pursuers and deal with whatever Hellish creatures come out of his stomach. And these creatures are nasty. The special effects are top-notch and not overdone, which lends to their effectiveness and the actors make the unlikely situation believable. My favorite scenes, though, involve this corpse witch which comes through the gate. She is hideous and creepy.
This movie is highly recommended by this reviewer.
