The Gate (1986)




King City, Ontario
King City, Ontario



The Gate (1986) was filmed at a house in the King Heights subdivision of King City, Ontario.  I couldn't find much information about this location.  Judging from the view on Bing, the backyard was used (minus the tree and pit, of course).  Some of the interiors were filmed at Cinespace Studios in Kleinburg.

  2. The street is called Curtis Crescent. If you copy and paste the coordinates given above into Google Maps, it should take you right to the house.

  6. I just watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid, and I didn't think it was filmed in California! Thanks for taking the time to find out for me.

  7. I just Google Mapped this location, the old neighborhood seems to be non-existent, looking at Google Maps there's an apartment complex there now. Is it true the house from "The Gate" could have been demolished to make room for the apartment complex? Very sad if it's true.

    1. I just checked Google Maps and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. However, the last Street View is from 2014.

      Are you sure you have the right location?

  8. At 50 minutes in, when the wall phone is ringing suspensefully and the camera is dollying in, you can see a pamphlet hanging from the corkboard next to the phone that says "Kleinburg". Nice tie-in to the locations.
