Despite its faults and its wilful sense of vagueness, Portal is to be commended for at least trying to be a little more cerebral than many of its genre bedfellows and it occasionally delivers some richly-imaginative and startling imagery.

Rated: 3/5

A film with a decent premise, but never manages to open up the door to reach its full potential.

Rated: 3/10

Another "let's go to a murder victim's house and see if there are any ghosts there" movie. Been there, done that - but send the t-shirt.

Rated: 4/10

Doesn't really get going until the third act, and by that time I checked-out.

Typical paranormal hunters meets real haunted house. Not a bad movie but not exceptionally good at anything either. A few logic holes but nothing that can't be overlooked. On a positive note, it has Heather Langenkamp (for those Nightmare on Elm Street fans).

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This is a serviceable little horror flick. Released quietly last year I was initially intrigued by the trailer, the casting of Heather Lagenkamp(Nightmare on elm st.) and childhood crush Ryan Merriman (Ring 2). The movie centers around a group of paranormal investigators trying to do legit shows but on the verge of cancellation they finally discover something real and begin to regret it. The movie doesn't bring anything new to the table but it's marginally entertaining. Sadly the films best performance comes from Lagenkamp who only shows up 15 mins before the ending and still packs one hell of a scream. As for the rest of the cast they're okay. A little more imagination and development would have benefitted this but it's still not a bad way to pass the time. 3/5

Ghost hunters looking for ghosts find a demon instead. Parts of this movie were funny, but not THAT funny. Some Haunted house movie fans might like this.

Portal was a refreshing horror/thriller take on ghost hunting with some laughs and solid suspense throughout. It's always nice to have that combo of horror and some humor. Really fun ride that held my interest and entertained entire time. Great performances and characters; I actually wanted to see what happened to them after it ended! It was shot really well too. A definite reccomend.
