There's nothing especially groundbreaking about it, but the movie is entertaining for what it is.

It may also be worth recommending Portal Runner to a friend without telling them the title just to see their reaction.

Eye for Film

Smart enough not to bite off more than it can chew and pacey enough to hold viewer attention.

Film Threat

Dark fantasy set at Christmas brings a breath of fresh air into an overwrought season of wholesomeness overload.

Great film as I was completely entertained throught the whole film and it's great to see such a film on a smaller budget. I love portal films, however I'm not quite getting how when he goes to another dimension there is never another him in it and when he gets to meet his sister he never had she seems to have been living with him all her life so where did that guy go.

15-year-old Nolan (Sloane Morgan Siegell) has discovered a secret family legacy. Where you or I may get some china or nice silver, Nolan gets a portal that enables him to travel to parallel worlds. It's not all good. That's because an entity named Evil is chasing him through those timelines, included the one he's stuck in right now. It's Christmas, he has an older sister that doesn't exist in any other dimension and he realizes that unless he gets her on his side quick, everyone may end up paying the price for his travels. Directed by Cornelia Duryée — whose godmother and mentor was A Wrinkle in Time author Madeleine L'Engle — and written by J.D. Henning and Tallis Moore, this film is family-friendly with some dark moments from its villain.
