It was only last month or so that I finally was able to sit down and watch THE GATE from beginning to end. Needless to say, I enjoyed the hell out of the movie and went to buy the sequel on Blu-ray only to find (gasp) the second film wasn't on Blu-ray!
As sad as that moment was, both you and I can cheer up as today we have news that THE GATE II is finally hitting Blu-ray for the first time ever via Scream Factory this February.
You can check out the full rundown on the disc, including the new special features below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think of the film in the comments below or on social media!
