I have no idea what this movie is...?

Question

There was a movie I watched when I was a kid. It is about this little boy digging a whole in his backyard, I guess the whole thing was that it went down to hell and this hug devil came out at the end. I dont remember too much about the movie but I think there was a part where the little boy looked down at his hand and say an eye and then poked it out. Sorry its not alot, but help!

Answer 1

"The gate"

Answer 2

"The Gate" is correct. It's a low-budget film from 1987 starring a very young Stephen Dorff. The special effects are remarkable, and it achieves some very creepy moments. It's one of those films in which they play the Heavy Metal album backwards if I recall correctly.

Here's the Wikipedia page with a fairly detailed summary of this excellent film that tends to be overlooked though I'm happy to see that it's cropping up on a number of lists here at Y!A:

What is so weird is that everyone who has asked about this film has mentioned the same things:
1) the hole in the backyard
2) the huge being that emerges at the end
3) the eye in the boy's hand
That's enough to identify it, just as the flying silver spheres identify "Phantasm" and its sequels.

The sequel is titled "The Gate II: Trespassers" (1992), which isn't as good. Here's some information about the film:
