Keith David (The Thing, They Live) and Richard Kind (“Spin City,” Beau Is Afraid) star in the indie horror-comedy Portal to Hell.
Deadline reports that Raven Banner Entertainment has acquired the movie for worldwide sales and distribution, introducing it to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin.
Premiering this weekend at Slamdance in Los Angeles, the film marks the feature debut of writer-director-cinematographer Woody Bess.
Trey Holland (The Diabolical) stars as Dunn, a debt collector who lives a life of routine until a portal to Hell opens in his local laundromat. A demon (Kind) emerges to drag Dunn’s neighbor, Mr. Bobshank (David), to Hell for an unpaid debt.
Helping people settle their debts is Dunn’s specialty, but when the demon offers a sinister deal—three souls in exchange for Bobshank’s freedom—he refuses. However, when one of his debtors follows him to the laundromat, the line between right and wrong begins to blur, forcing Dunn to make a choice that could cost him his own soul.
Romina D’Ugo (“12 Monkeys”), Michael McDonald (Halloween Kills), Casey Deidrick (“Teen Wolf”), Trevor Newlin (Alien: Romulus), Ryan Follesé, Kevin Fonteyne (Nightmare Cinema), and Monet Weir round out the cast.
“Portal to Hell is an expertly crafted, stylish, and fun film,” said Raven Banner General Manager Michael Da Silva.
“Bess’ vision and attention to the craft of filmmaking definitely makes him an exciting new filmmaker to watch,” added Raven Banner Managing Partner Michael Paszt. “We are stoked to be part of this amazing film.”
