Cineverse and its horror division Bloody Disgusting have acquired U.S. VOD and streaming rights to “Portal to Hell,” the Slamdance and Frightfest debut feature from Woody Bess. A limited theatrical rollout is expected ahead of Cineverse’s digital release this summer.

Trey Holland (“The Diabolical”), Romina D’Ugo (“12 Monkeys”), Keith David (“The Thing”), and Richard Kind (“Spin City,”) star in the indie horror-comedy. “Portal to Hell” follows “Dunn (Holland), a debt collector who lives a life of routine until a portal opens in his local laundromat, followed by a demon (Kind) sent to drag his neighbor, Mr. Bobshank (David), to hell for an unpaid debt. Helping people settle their debts is Dunn’s specialty, but when the demon offers a sinister deal — three souls in exchange for Bobshank’s freedom — he refuses.
