A movie that we've been covering since it premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival, Jackson Stewart's Beyond the Gates will be released on Blu-ray and DVD by Scream Factory this spring. So, if you still haven't caught this VCR board game horror comedy co-starring Barbara Crampton, you might want to set aside part of your piggy bank funds in anticipation of this release.
Scream Factory will unleash Beyond the Gates on Blu-ray and DVD beginning May 2nd. Check out the official announcement and cover art below, and, in case you missed it, read Patrick's thoughtful piece on the healing power of Stewart's feature film debut.
From Scream Factory: "We are pleased to announce that we have a new IFC Midnight film planned for release on Blu-ray & DVD this May that fits perfectly in our brand.
BEYOND THE GATES - After their father's unexplained disappearance, two estranged brothers – responsible Gordon (Graham Skipper) and reckless John (Chase Williamson) – reunite to sift through the contents of his stubbornly anachronistic VHS rental store. Among the inventory, they find an old interactive VCR board game. Intrigued, the brothers pop in the tape… and soon discover that this video is no ordinary game, but a portal to a nightmarish alternate reality – one with deadly consequences for anyone who dares to press "play." Featuring horror legend Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond), Beyond The Gates is a retro-cool tale of "hex, dies, and videotape" from director Jackson Stewart!

"Jackson Stewart has created a brilliant but deadly game for audiences to play with the great Barbara Crampton, a seductive new monster as iconic as Freddy Krueger. Not to be missed." – Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond)
"A gutbucket load of gory fun, and a love letter to fans of a bygone era of horror, expertly resurrected by the filmmakers. Nostalgic and witty.” – Don Mancini (Child's Play)"
