Creature Feature Portal to Hell to Bring Roddy Piper and Cthulhu to the Big Screen!

Director Vivieno Caldinelli ("Picnicface") and writer Matt Watts ("The Newsroom") are preparing to shoot their short film Portal to Hell. The film is a Lovecraftian homage and a battle against Cthulhu. To star Roddy Piper (They Live), financing for this title has already begun. As well, the short film will be developed into a feature film, in late 2015. Raven Banner will distribute the feature in Canada. More details on Portal to Hell are previewed here.

In the story, Jack (Piper) discovers several cultists in his basement. He also discovers that they are trying to bring the god Cthulhu into his world, through sorcery. Jack must enlist the help of others to stop this madness, or else everyone is doomed.

This film is still in the early phases of production. And, the filmmakers could use the support of horror fans to bring the short film to life.
