Roddy Piper vs. Cthulhu in Portal to Hell

March 10, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Wrestling legend Roddy Piper is set to take on his biggest challenge yet as he squares off against Cthulhu in Portal to Hell, an upcoming short film from director Vivieno Caldinelli and writer Matt Watts, and you can check out the first stills of Hot Rod in action here…

Jack is a simple man with simple needs. Mostly he just needs to be left alone to read his book. It’s a good book and he likes it, or at least he would if the tenants of the building he manages weren’t so damn needy themselves. And it’s not just blown fuses and clogged toilets here … no, when the building power goes out the culprit is a pair of tenants opening a portal to hell in the basement. Does this count as building maintenance? Is battling the supernatural part of Jack’s job description? Maybe not, but if Jack can’t close the portal the entire building and – let’s face it – the whole world is screwed.  

Filming has just wrapped on the crowd-funded short, and it is now in post-production ahead of a potential feature later in the year.
