‘The Quiet Revolution’ Trailer Looks at State, Society and the Canadian Horror Film
441 Films and Cine-excess are diving into an important horror topic in their upcoming feature length documentary, The Quiet Revolution: State, Society and the Canadian Horror Film, which will embark on a film festival run shortly.
“The Quiet Revolution considers how social, political and cultural tensions within differing Canadian territories have shaped national horror film traditions from the 1960s until the present day,” explains the press release. “The first part of the documentary considers the social transitions in 1960s and 1970s Quebecois culture that influenced a new range of controversial horror productions and sub-genres pioneered by filmmakers such as David Cronenberg (Shivers, Rabid, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome) and William Fruet (The House by the Lake, Spasms, Killer Party).
“The documentary also considers the territorial shifts in horror cinema production from Quebec to other regions such as Toronto and Vancouver during the 1990s,” they add. “The documentary concludes by profiling contemporary female directors such as the Soska Sisters (American Mary, Rabid), Nyla Innuksuk (Slash/Back) and Gigi Saul Guerrero (El Gigante, Into the Dark: Culture Shock), whose work challenges the boundaries of gender, sexuality and national identity in Canadian horror cinema.”
Here’s the film’s first official trailer.

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.
