After having several successful festival runs (Sitges, Screamfest, A Night of Horror International Film Festival, etc.), 2:22 is making its way to DVD and Internet Streaming via the film’s official site. The film – completed in July 2009 – was filmed entirely in Orlando, Florida, and had its World Premiere on October 3, 2009 to a sold out crowd of 1,500 at the 43rd Annual SITGES International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia in Sitges, Spain and its North American Premiere at the legendary Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California, during the annual Screamfest Horror Film Festival. Written and directed by Steven Shea, 2:22is the terrifying story of Vickie Palmer who, after an incredible night out with her girlfriends, is wrenched from her peaceful slumber and cast mercilessly into a world spinning out of control. Writhing half-naked on the cold porcelain tile of her bathroom floor, Vickie desperately tries to piece together the tragic turn of events that has twisted her once carefree life into a nightmare of pain and suffering. But when she discovers the truth, will it be too late to save her from eternal damnation?

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.

If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
