Cineverse has released the official trailer for PORTAL TO HELL, the upcoming horror‑comedy from writer/director Woody Bess, arriving on Digital and Video on Demand September 8, 2026. Blending supernatural chaos with dark humor, the film introduces a genre‑bending story centered on an ordinary laundromat that becomes the gateway to something far more sinister.
Starring Trey Holland, Romina D’ugo, Richard Kind, and Keith David, Portal to Hell has already built festival momentum with screenings at Slamdance, Frightfest, Chattanooga Film Festival, Calgary Underground, and Vancouver Horror Show.
The newly released trailer showcases the film’s offbeat tone, escalating stakes, and the bizarre chain of events triggered by a portal that should never have existed in the first place.
Synopsis
A routine debt collector’s life is thrown into chaos when a portal to hell opens inside his local laundromat. Moments later, a demon emerges with a disturbing offer: deliver three souls in exchange for saving his neighbor from eternal damnation.
As he stumbles into a high‑stakes supernatural bargain, he must navigate demons, moral dilemmas, and the increasingly absurd fallout of his mission — all while trying to prevent his community from being dragged into the abyss.
