| VarietyDennis HarveyThis fun if unmemorable occult thriller sports — all too faithfully at times — both the typical pleasures and shortcomings of the movies it pays homage to. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelEverything here screams the Eighties, from the red-and-blue lighting to the practical latex-and-splatter effects, [to] the presence of Eighties scream queen Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator) as the game's creepy video guide... |
| StarburstWhitney Scott BainThe film is a great homage to the Italian horror films of the '80s influenced by House By the Cemetery, The Beyond, and The Gate with a touch of Don Coscarelli's Phantasm thrown into the mix. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeIt’s not intensely scary, but it is faithful to its ’80s influences, right on down to the deadbeat dad. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesA film born into the wrong decade, Beyond the Gates has a very late eighties / early nineties vibe to it. It's disarmingly charming. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDoing something with video store memories, "Beyond the Gates" has the right ideas when it comes to shadowy evil and VHS ephemera, creating a very entertaining and mildly spooky B-movie version of "Jumanji." |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryBeyond the Gates is dripping with nostalgia and gives horror fans a compelling story that will take them back to their childhood. |
| StarburstJonathan AndersonThe movie is definitely one for horror buffs; enjoyable and carefully curated with knowing winks to its audience. Jackson has a bright future. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerGetting retro right is harder than it seems. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoBeyond The Games plays to the nostalgia crowd instead of adopting 21st century scares, but still finds a way to explore untapped VHS potential. |
