 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Hell's Gate   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Not that the actors in Hell's Gate deliver performances of any note, but their eerie resemblances to much better actors manage to engage where the narrative does not.
Hell's Gate (released theatrically as Bad Karma, which it deserves) is a poor, cheap, and derivative psycho pic that tries, incomprehensibly (and apocryphally), to tie itself into Jack the Ripper lore.
Exploitation fans might find enough to sate their deviant hungers (torture of naked teenager in first 10 minutes, gruesome eye gouging, tongue-biting and organ ripping to come), but more sophisticated viewers (the kind who are, say, older than 14) will just find it boring.

 REVIEW / 'Hell's Kitchen' sends Ramsay on the rampage
But American audiences may dislike the swearing, overbearing Ramsay even more than they do Cowell, because in "Hell's Kitchen" there's no nice girl Paula Abdul or obsequious Randy Jackson to temper the embarrassment of having food shoved back in your chest or to dilute the obnoxiousness of a chef who drops f-bombs on unsatisfied customers.
"Hell's Kitchen" is dangerously close to "The Apprentice." Some clever scribe has no doubt already called it "The Apprentice Meets Iron Chef." Truth is, there's some "Survivor" in there as well.
Almost nothing in "Hell's Kitchen" is unique to the reality genre -- it's painfully derivative on so many fronts that it sometimes seems you're watching five reality shows at once.

Here, the Heaven's Gate people were as modern as could be, coming up with astonishingly creative, if twisted, technical and scientific explanations for the human condition.
