For some reason this film hasn\u2019t received too much attention, even though it has James Van Der Beek’s final film role before his death. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
The Gates<\/em><\/strong> follows three college students — Derek, Kevin, and Tyon (Gooding, Smith, and Powers) on a road trip gone wrong, as the three young men take an ill-advised shortcut through a remote gated community, where they find themselves trapped behind the walls after witnessing a murder. Over the course of the night, they find themselves blamed, hunted, and fractured by their own differing belief systems, while the perpetrator\u2014James Van Der Beek, at his most charming and terrifying\u2014emerges as the cunning patriarch that holds the entire community under his influence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
