Dunn is a debt collector. His life of routine is interrupted when a portal to hell appears in his local laundromat. A demon follows and explains in no uncertain terms that he's there to drag Dunn's neighbor, Mr. Bobshank, to hell. Bobshank owes a debt. Helping people pay their debts is what Dunn does best. A deal is offered -- three souls to save Bobshank. Dunn says no. But one of his debtors follows him to the laundromat and well... once you do one, what's another two? Dunn makes good on his end of the bargain. But the portal stays. The demon explains. Who gets into heaven isn't up to God or the Devil. It's up to you. Bobshank hasn't forgiven himself.

Kat Hughes THN What begins as a quirky and zany slice of midnight madness evolves into something softer, more introspective and sombre. This might not make it the most accessible late night movie, but is certainly one that opens up the channels for self-reflection. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine Portal To Hell demonstrates an expert craft of both genre stylings and comedy, as well as careful worldbuilding and character creation that help to weave an emotional, uplifting narrative that embraces all the flaws of mankind. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This one is surprisingly profound with thoughtful writing and a sincere message of forgiveness and acceptance. It’s got style, smarts, and a unique spin on morality. May 8, 2025 Full Review Jules Caldeira Film Inquiry Despite some flaws, Portal to Hell is nonetheless a good time and a fun watch. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street A strong indie spirit, a fun mischievous villain, and a slice of silly for the hellbound heart Rated: 74% Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Richard Kind and Keith David are an absolute delight here.
